Not all depressive symptoms are the same.
It is important that your provider asks the right questions. Often, the label “Depression” is tossed around in popular culture as a way to describe a feeling or a mood, i.e. “I’m depressed thinking about how much work I have to do this weekend” or, “After looking at my bank balance this morning, I’m completely depressed.” While these situations CAN trigger sadness, hopelessness, and/or other unpleasant emotions, they are NOT a Depressive Disorder.
We want to help rule out chemical, physical, environmental, and other factors to help you really get to the bottom of things.

Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
Despite its obvious joys, new parenthood almost inevitably takes a toll on romantic partnerships. Seemingly overnight each partner is thrust into a different role from what they are used to, and a different role from their partner. They feel misunderstood, underappreciated, and often lonely. Additionally, there is a constant source of need, possibly contributing to sleeplessness, anxiety, and depression. New mothers famously feel guilt for whatever they feel they aren’t doing well enough as a mother. They might be seeking support but coming up short, which exacerbates their self-doubt and loneliness. New fathers often deeply desire to be helpful and good providers while bonding with their child, but sometimes they don’t feel good enough or appreciated despite their efforts. You might have a parent staying home for the first time, feeling lost in the mountain of domestic responsibilities. Therapy is often the last item on a new parent’s to-do list, but it is the ultimate form of self care, especially if their partner feels emotionally far away. Therapy is a way of reuniting the love that brought you together while both holding up this new little life.

Holistic Wellness: Every session is grounded in Mindfulness and Psycho-education, empowering you with the "why" and "how" behind your healing.
Perinatal & Postpartum Specialization

Perinatal Mental Health: Supporting emotional well-being during pregnancy.
Postpartum Care: Helping new parents navigate the transformative and often overwhelming transition to life with a newborn.
Family Resilience: Offering compassionate, evidence-based care to help families navigate this chapter with strength.

Emily Blitz
Psychologist, PsyD
As both a perinatal psychologist and a mother, I know how intense and tender this time can be. I'm here to support you through it. Motherhood can be beautiful, overwhelming, exhausting, and profoundly transformative - all at once. Postpartum anxiety and depression often reflect your needs, fears, and the shifts in identity and relationships that come with this stage of life. In our work, I offer a steady, supportive space to feel, reflect, and understand these experiences. With curiosity and care, these feelings can guide you toward greater insight, connection, and confidence as a parent.
