Postpartum Therapy in Los Angeles, CA
Helping you get back to the new you.
Therapy for Postpartum Moms
I want you to feel supported through the transition into motherhood and help you reconnect with yourself in this new season.
Becoming a mom changes your life in many ways. You can feel so much love, and also exhaustion, anxiety, or sadness. Maybe you miss the way things were and it feels very different than you imagined. Maybe you're constantly worrying and questioning yourself. Maybe your pregnancy anxiety prevented you from even thinking this far as to what it would actually be like having a baby. Maybe you feel lonely or know something just doesn’t feel right.
At Authentic LA Therapy, I provide postpartum therapy for women navigating the emotional challenges of new motherhood.
Postpartum Mental Health
The postpartum period brings significant change. You're recovering from pregnancy and birth, adjusting to a new role, often running on fumes and coffee.
Postpartum struggles are on a spectrum. It’s not always the most severe picture you can imagine, and just because your experience “isn’t that bad”, doesn’t mean you don’t deserve support. Maybe you feel like you need to talk to someone who just “get’s it”. I do!
Common postpartum experiences:
Postpartum anxiety (like persistent worry about your baby's health or safety)
Postpartum depression (prolonged sadness or hopelessness)
“Baby blues”
Intrusive thoughts that feel scary
Mom guilt and pressure to be perfect
Disconnected from yourself or difficulty bonding with your baby
If you are experiencing severe distress, thoughts of harming yourself or your baby, or symptoms that make it difficult to stay safe, seek immediate professional help. If there is immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest hospital for emergency support.
