Perinatal and Postpartum Mental Health Therapy for Colorado Springs, Black Forest, and Monument residents.
Perinatal Mental Health Therapy - supportive and sensitive counseling that meets you and your family, right where you’re at.
If you're navigating pre-conception, pregnancy, postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, fertility challenges, pregnancy loss, birth/pregnancy trauma, or the emotional twists of building a family, working with a mental health provider who is trained by Postpartum Support International (PSI) is something to consider.
You don’t have to carry this alone—getting support from a therapist during this specific time in your life can help you find balance again, strengthen your bond with your baby and partner, and/or help you reclaim a sense of hope and agency during this uniquely intense time.
Counseling for Postpartum Anxiety and Postpartum Depression
You spend months and months preparing for birth. Giving birth takes a relatively short amount of time compared to trying to conceive and carrying a pregnancy. When baby is here, you are given new titles of “mom” and/or “dad” and sent home to care for and raise your little one(s). For most people, this adjustment is radical and challenging in ways they never expected. The cumulative sleep dept, a colicky baby, learning your baby’s cues, finding the right feeding regimen for your family, financial strain and stress - you name it, you’re probably impacted by it in the postpartum timeframe.
Postpartum Support International estimates 1 in 10 dads experience postpartum depression, while 1 in 5 moms suffer.
Postpartum depression and anxiety is not unique to women. Men or partners of the pregnant/birthing person also experience significant hormonal and mood shifts in the perinatal timeframe. If this is you, please know you are not imagining your experience. Working with a perinatal therapist could be the right option for you.
