Postpartum Counseling in Bryn Mawr, PA

Are you struggling with anxiety or depression after having a baby? Do you have unwanted, intrusive thoughts of harming your baby? Do you feel disconnected from your baby? Adjusting to motherhood with a new baby can feel very overwhelming. You are not alone- research suggests that 1 in 8 women experience postpartum depression.

Symptoms of Postpartum Depression / Anxiety Can Include:

  • Depressed mood or severe mood swings

  • Crying too much

  • Difficulty bonding with your baby

  • Withdrawing from family and friends

  • Loss of appetite or eating much more than usual

  • Insomnia or sleeping too much

  • Overwhelming tiredness or loss of energy

  • Less interest and pleasure in activities you used to enjoy

  • Intense irritability and anger

  • Fear that you're not a good mother

  • Hopelessness

  • Feelings of worthlessness, shame, guilt or inadequacy

  • Reduced ability to think clearly, concentrate or make decisions

  • Restlessness

  • Severe anxiety and panic attacks

  • Intrusive thoughts of harming yourself or your baby

  • Recurring thoughts of death or suicide

Becoming a parent can bring tremendous joy—but it can also come with grief, loss of identity, and emotional upheaval. Many new mothers feel pressure to be endlessly happy or to instantly bond with their baby, but the truth is that postpartum experiences vary widely. Struggling after childbirth does not mean you're failing as a parent—it means you're human.
