Postpartum Depression
Pamela Meyerson
Therapist, LCSW, Master in School Psychology
It is often normal to feel a little overwhelmed and even anxious after giving birth. If you are experiencing postpartum depression symptoms for more than three weeks, it is beneficial to seek treatment. Individuals have been able to successfully heal their depression on their own, but seeking postpartum counseling results in less trial and error and for you to receive expert advice and an actionable plan from a licensed professional.

In supporting patients with postpartum depression, I provide a compassionate and understanding environment to explore their experiences. Through education and open discussion, we work together to increase awareness and understanding of postpartum depression symptoms and triggers. I help them develop coping strategies to manage their emotions and navigate the challenges they may face. Additionally, I offer support in accessing resources and building a strong support network.

Postpartum Depression
Dr. Abrielle Conway, Rooted in Grace Psychological Services
Psychologist, Psy.D., Licensed Psychologist
Are you wondering why you feel down and unmotivated to do anything instead of enjoying these precious moments with your little bundle of joy? While many birthing parents experience what's called the "baby blues," you may be experiencing symptoms of postpartum depression if you find yourself feeling depressed for over two weeks beyond childbirth. Many parents feel extremely alone in their sadness, believing that they are the only ones who experience this. However, postpartum depression (along with other perinatal mood and anxiety disorders) is fairly common. The months following an infant's birth can be especially hard for mothers. In addition to the fluctuating hormones, many find that they don't have the support that they need. In my work with new parents, I assess for postpartum depression, anxiety, and childbirth trauma. I tailor treatment to your unique difficulties and therapy needs, incorporating research-supported therapy treatments. I also provide information on community resources, and am happy to collaborate with support persons you've identified, with your permission. I've taken Postpartum Support International's certification training in Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorders, as well as their advanced psychotherapy training. I'm also currently serving as Co-Chair of PSI-FL's Board.

Postpartum Depression
Jessica Beaston
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LCPC
Postpartum depression can be incredibly challenging for mothers, especially when symptoms get in the way of being the best parent they want to be. It's a difficult journey, but I offer a supportive space where mothers can explore their feelings without fear of judgment, helping them understand and navigate what's truly happening.
