Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorders

Finding Light in the Darkness of Perinatal Mood Disorders

The transition into motherhood can stir up a whirlwind of emotions, and sometimes, those feelings turn into something more profound—persistent sadness, anxiety, or even fear that feels unmanageable. Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, including postpartum depression (PPD), postpartum anxiety (PPA), and postpartum OCD, are common but deeply personal challenges.

At Balanced Reflection Counseling, we offer a comprehensive approach to help you untangle the complexities of your thoughts, find practical coping strategies, and slowly reconnect with joy, hope, and self-compassion.

Treating PMADs starts with a deep understanding of your unique experience. We provide a safe space where you can openly discuss these emotions without fear of judgment.

Our therapeutic process includes using evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), as well as mindfulness and relaxation techniques to help manage anxiety, stress, and sleeplessness. You and I will develop practical strategies to improve your self-care and build a supportive network around you. We collaborate with your healthcare providers to ensure that your care is holistic and tailored to your needs, allowing you to rediscover balance and joy in your new role as a parent.
