Postpartum Depression and Anxiety Therapy in Chesapeake, VA

You're Trying to Hold it Together, but Inside it Feels Like Too Much.

Everyone expects you to be happy now that the baby is here. Instead, you want to melt away from everyone and everything. Your mind won’t stop scanning for danger or looping in scary thoughts. On top of that, you feel guilty for being dim instead of glowing.

This Isn't What You Expected

  • Maybe you're constantly on edge, waiting for something bad to happen.


  • Maybe you feel disconnected from your baby or like you're not really here.


  • Maybe you're scared of your own thoughts or worried that this anxiety is affecting your baby.


  • You might feel like you failed, like your body failed you, or like everyone else seems fine while you're falling apart.


You're not a bad mother.


Postpartum anxiety and depression are real, common, and treatable.
