Are you struggling with:
- Persistent sadness, anxiety, or overwhelm after having a baby
- Feeling disconnected from your baby or your usual self
- Intrusive or frightening thoughts you haven't told anyone about
- Rage, irritability, or anger that feels out of character
- Difficulty sleeping even when your baby sleeps, or exhaustion that doesn't improve
- Guilt for not feeling the way you think you're supposed to feel
The period after having a baby brings enormous physical, hormonal, and emotional change. Postpartum mood and anxiety concerns are common, medical, and treatable — they are not a personal failing or a reflection of how much you love your baby.
Symptoms can appear in the days, weeks, or even months after delivery, and they can affect any parent, not only birthing parents. Left unsupported, they can make an already demanding season feel unbearable.
Therapy offers a confidential, nonjudgmental space to talk through what you're experiencing. For those with more significant symptoms, we can also help coordinate care with your OB or a psychiatric provider for a fuller picture of support.
If you are having thoughts of harming yourself or your baby, please seek immediate help by calling 911 or contacting the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. For ongoing support, please contact us today — you don't have to carry this alone.
