Compassionate Support for Postpartum Depression
Getting the help that you and your family need.
Many women expect motherhood to be challenging. What they don't expect is feeling numb, disconnected, hopeless, or unlike themselves.
Postpartum depression can affect women who desperately wanted their baby, love their child deeply, and still find themselves struggling.
If you're wondering why everything feels so hard right now, you're not alone in that experience. Many mothers aren't sure whether what they're are experiencing is normal adjustment, baby blues, or something more significant. If you're asking yourself these questions, you may find it helpful to read What Is Postpartum Depression? Common Questions Mothers Ask About PPD.
Postpartum Depression is treatable
There is help and there is hope
Sometimes postpartum depression shows up as sadness, while other times it looks more like guilt, irritability, numbness, or the feeling that everyone else is handling motherhood better than you are. Many mothers relate strongly to the experiences described in Why Do I Feel Like I'm Failing as a Mom?
Postpartum depression is one of the most common complications of childbirth. It is not a reflection of your love for your child or your ability to be a good mother. Therapy can provide a space to talk honestly about what you're experiencing without fear of judgment.
