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
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.

Postpartum Depression
Annie Kurz
Counselor/Therapist, M.A., M.B.A., LMHC
Ms. Kurz speaks quarterly at the Evergreen Hospital Baby Parent group which she attended 27 years ago as a new mom with a colicky baby. Postpartum is far more common than is realized. Setting minor goals, asking and getting support from spouse, family, friends and even doulas are strategies that are explored.
