Therapy for Anxiety and Depression During Pregnancy and Postpartum
Jordan Olsen LCSW, PMH-C
Hello! I know how much effort it takes just to make it to the point of searching for a therapist.
If you are pregnant or postpartum and feeling alone, disconnected, irritable or confused during this phase of life:
You are not alone, and you do not have suffer through.
No doubt about it, parenthood is one of -if not the biggest- transitions of your life.
So much can come up during the postpartum time whether its about how you experienced pregnancy, what happened during your birth, how it will affect your relationships with your kids and partner, stuff from your past you thought you processed or pushed down… the list goes on. Many of us even start to struggle months or YEARS after our babies are born and don’t know why and can’t quite put a finger on it.
Thats where I come in.
Roots Work Elm Grove office is in a quiet, private environment that is more like your friends living room than a bustling clinic.
We’ll start our time together with just getting a sense of how you’ve been feeling, what some of your goals are, and who you are as a person. I’ll ask you a lot of questions at first, but then sessions will be more like a conversation. It’s totally OK to come to therapy for the first time and not know what to talk about! Thats my job.
Our time together will be 50-55 minutes, whether in person or via telehealth.
We will work together to find ways that help you process and understand your experiences, learn new strategies, and help you find some peace. Working with both cognitive (brain) and somatic (body) techniques will help you make lasting change along the way.
Becoming a mom is complicated and nuanced, so I work from a systems perspective and take all parts of you and your life into account when supporting you.
