Is it the baby blues or is it something more?

Most new parents have a few weepy, overwhelmed days after birth. That's the baby blues, and it usually eases on its own within about two weeks.

Postpartum depression is different. It lasts longer, feels heavier, and starts getting in the way of daily life. It can show up any time in the first year, not just the first few weeks.

Signs it is more than baby blues

Here are a few signs among other that suggest what you are feeling is more than just baby blues. If several of these sound familiar and they've lasted more than two weeks, it's worth talking to someone.

How we help

Talk therapy

Your therapist helps you make sense of what you're feeling, quiet the anxious and self-critical thoughts, and build practical coping tools that fit life with a newborn. Many of our clinicians use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), one of the most studied approaches for postpartum depression and anxiety.

EMDR therapy for a difficult birth

If your birth or early postpartum experience was frightening or traumatic, EMDR therapy can help your mind process it so it stops replaying. Offered by select clinicians.

Psychiatric evaluation and medication management

For some parents, therapy works best alongside medication. Our psychiatric providers can evaluate your symptoms and talk through options that fit your situation.

Support for the whole family

Postpartum depression affects partners and relationships too. Couples and family sessions are available when it helps to have everyone on the same page.

Faith-based counseling

We have Christian therapists and Muslim therapists on staff for clients who'd like their faith to be part of their care.
