Jeanna Boase, LPC, PMH-C
If you’re a young professional or in your childbearing years, and feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or depleted…you don’t have to do this alone.
I struggled with anxiety and depression through my 20’s, and then again after I had my son in 2017. You would probably never know that based on this picture, right? That’s because postpartum depression (PPD) can be subtle and difficult to tell apart from normal postpartum symptoms. If you feel “off” and are wondering if you might have PPD, it’s best to seek support rather than waiting to see if things get better on their own. If you’re pregnant and are worried about getting PPD – reach out today. It’s much easier to be proactive and get established care in advance, then to scramble when you’re exhausted in the postpartum period. If you’re trying to conceive or plan to in the future, there’s space for you too! Therapy is not just for “those” people with the “really bad problems.” Therapy is a normal and healthy part of life, just like going to the dentist or chiropractor.

My own experience with PPD is why I am so passionate about working with mama’s at every stage in the journey. I am Perinatal Mental Health Certified, and have training in evidence-based treatments such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Somatic EMDR. There’s no single “right” treatment approach, but what does make the most impact is having someone on your side who makes you feel seen and safe.
