Postpartum Depression Therapy

Motherhood Isn’t Always Easy

It’s not uncommon for women to feel emotional or anxious following childbirth. There is a natural shift in hormones during this time which lends itself to changes in mood, not to mention the added impact of sleep deprivation and adjustment to new life as a parent. For many women, this may last a few weeks and is typically referred to as the “baby blues.” However, when symptoms persist beyond those first few weeks and begin to interfere with a mother’s ability to cope, function, care for, or bond with her child, then it falls in the category of postpartum depression or anxiety. If you find yourself in this category it is important to seek out support and help through postpartum depression therapy.

Bring Happiness To Motherhood

At Acacia Collaborative we use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy, to work with new mothers struggling with postpartum related issues. Utilizing these approaches to therapy, we help women process the range of emotions that come along with childbirth and new parenthood; we work together to address negative and unrealistic thoughts which feed into depression and anxiety; and we identify specific ways of coping with the symptoms, stressors, and significant life transition that they are experiencing. With appropriate treatment and support in place, women can experience significant improvement in postpartum symptoms and a greater ability to take on and cope with the challenges of parenthood.
