Postpartum & Perinatal Mental Health
Because Caring for Yourself is Part of Caring for Your Family.
Welcoming a new baby is one of life’s most meaningful experiences, but it also brings big changes, emotions, and adjustments. Between hormonal shifts, sleepless nights, and the pressure to “have it all together,” it’s completely normal to feel overwhelmed.
At Walls Counseling, we celebrate this new chapter while recognizing the emotional challenges that can come with it. Our compassionate therapists provide specialized postpartum and perinatal mental health therapy to help parents and families care for their well-being, strengthen relationships, and find calm amid the chaos of early parenthood.
Supporting Emotional Health During Pregnancy and Beyond
Perinatal mental health includes the emotional well-being of individuals during pregnancy and throughout the first year after birth. It affects not just mothers but also fathers, partners, and family members deeply involved in caring for the baby.
Research shows that 1 in 5 women and 1 in 10 men experience perinatal depression or anxiety—but many struggle in silence. Signs may include:
Feeling irritable, sad, or emotionally numb
Crying more often or without clear reason
Feeling distant from your baby or loved ones
Losing interest in things that once brought joy
Difficulty sleeping, eating, or focusing
Walls Counseling offers a safe, judgment-free space to process your emotions, build healthy coping strategies, and strengthen your connection with yourself, your partner, and your family.
Postpartum Recovery and Emotional Wellness
Life changes overnight when your baby arrives. While feelings of joy and gratitude are common, it’s also normal to experience exhaustion, mood swings, or anxiety. For some, these feelings fade after a few weeks (“baby blues”), but for others, they persist as postpartum depression or anxiety.
Our therapists specialize in helping parents and families recognize symptoms early and begin healing. Together, we’ll focus on:
Reducing sadness, guilt, or feelings of overwhelm
Strengthening emotional resilience and confidence
Reconnecting with joy and your sense of self
Building realistic self-care routines that fit your new life
With the right support, most people fully recover from postpartum depression and anxiety, and you don’t have to face it alone.
Nurturing Your Well-Being as You Care for Others
Your mental health matters, whether you’re a new mother, father, partner, or loved one supporting someone through this transition. Walls Counseling provides compassionate, expert care designed for the whole family.
