Postpartum Depression

Postpartum depression affects many new mothers. Society often expects them to feel overwhelming joy and certainty as they embrace motherhood, but for those struggling with postpartum depression, these expectations can be heavy burdens. Symptoms may include feelings of emptiness, emotional numbness, or persistent sadness lasting more than two weeks during or after pregnancy. If you or someone you care about is experiencing these feelings, remember that help—and hope—are not only possible; they’re within reach. Our therapists work closely with new mothers to create personalized treatment plans aimed at alleviating depression and rediscovering the joy you envisioned when your child was born. Recovery is achievable, and the first step is reaching out for support.
