Each client begins with a personal assessment to identify symptoms and stressors. Treatment may include:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps reframe anxious or negative thoughts.
• Family or couples support: Strengthens communication and balance at home.
• Psychoeducation: Normalizes common experiences and reduces isolation.
• Anxiety-focused strategies: Provides practical coping tools.
• Medication management: Offered through our nurse practitioner when needed.

Who can benefit from postpartum therapy?

Postpartum therapy can help if you are:

• Feeling sad, irritable, or detached
• Experiencing racing thoughts or panic
• Struggling with sleep and exhaustion
• Processing a difficult pregnancy or birth
• Facing role changes and relationship stress
• Wondering if what you feel is “normal”

Even mild symptoms can interfere with daily life. Therapy provides relief, clarity, and tools for long-term wellness.

What happens during postpartum therapy?

Sessions may focus on sleep habits, family dynamics, or coping with intrusive thoughts. Therapists often use CBT or Internal Family Systems (IFS) to address mood, anxiety, and identity struggles.

In some cases, medication or ketamine-assisted therapy may be an option. Ketamine is safe for breastfeeding parents because of its short half-life, allowing a pump-and-dump approach under medical guidance.
