In my role as a therapist, supporting individuals through postpartum depression is a deeply empathetic and nurturing process. Through a combination of validation, emotional exploration, and evidence-based interventions, I work collaboratively with clients to navigate the unique challenges that arise during this critical period. By creating a safe space for self-discovery and implementing personalized coping strategies, my aim is to empower individuals to heal and embrace the joys of motherhood with resilience and renewed well-being.

Heather Clifft
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
While it is typical to experience mild mood changes during or after the birth of a child, 15-20% of women experience more significant symptoms of depression or anxiety. The term "postpartum depression" is most frequently used; however, many women actually experience a variety of challenges including depression and anxiety during pregnancy and postpartum, pregnancy or postpartum OCD, Postpartum Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (many times referred to as "birth trauma"), bipolar mood disorders, or postpartum psychosis. Symptoms can appear anytime during pregnancy and during the first year after childbirth. I use effective and well researched treatment approaches targeted to your specific needs to help you recover.

Postpartum Depression (PPD) treatment and support services focus on helping new mothers navigate the complex emotional challenges that may arise following childbirth. PPD is a common mental health concern characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, and fatigue that can hinder a mother's ability to care for herself or her newborn. We provide compassionate care, understanding, and professional treatment strategies to support mothers in their recovery from postpartum depression.

* Medication Management: Assessing and providing guidance on the use of medications when necessary, while considering breastfeeding and hormonal fluctuations.
* Support Groups: Facilitating support groups to provide a shared space where mothers can connect with others going through similar experiences.
* Partner and Family Involvement: Involving partners and family members in the recovery process, providing education to enhance their understanding and ability to offer support.
