Postpartum Depression
Sushma Cheturvedula
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Postpartum depression is a mood disorder that often arises in women following childbirth. It brings about feelings of sadness, anxiety, and fatigue, which can disrupt everyday activities and the ability to tend to oneself and the newborn. I would assist individuals grappling with postpartum depression by creating a supportive and understanding environment where they can freely share their emotions and worries without fear of criticism. Together, we would delve into the factors contributing to their depression, such as hormonal shifts, lack of sleep, past traumas, or relationship challenges.

Postpartum Depression
Stephanie Ennen
Therapist, LPC,LCPC, LMHC
I specialize in providing compassionate support for individuals experiencing postpartum depression (PPD). I understand that the transition to motherhood can bring about a mix of emotions—joy, anxiety, and sometimes overwhelming sadness. It’s important to know that you’re not alone, and help is available.
In our sessions, we will create a safe and nurturing space where you can openly express your feelings and experiences. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you identify and challenge negative thought patterns that may be contributing to your depression. Together, we will work on developing practical coping strategies to manage your emotions and enhance your overall well-being.
I also incorporate mindfulness techniques and self-care practices to promote relaxation and present-moment awareness. These tools can help you cultivate a sense of calm and connection, both with yourself and your baby.
A crucial aspect of our work will involve psychoeducation. Understanding postpartum depression, its causes, and its effects can empower you to recognize that what you’re experiencing is valid and treatable. We will explore ways to communicate your needs and seek support from loved ones.
My goal is to support you through this challenging time, helping you navigate the complexities of postpartum emotions while fostering resilience and hope. Together, we can work towards reclaiming joy and creating a fulfilling connection with your new role as a parent.
