Postpartum Mental Health & Identity
Individual therapy at Birth Feelings supports women navigating the emotional complexity of motherhood—from trying to conceive, to pregnancy, to postpartum and beyond. This includes identity shifts, the mental load of motherhood, and the challenge of balancing work, relationships, and a sense of self. Together, we move beyond just managing symptoms to making sense of what you’ve been carrying, helping you feel more grounded, more connected to yourself, and more supported in the life you’re living now.
What's included:
Weekly 50-minute sessions
Note: Rebecca is out-of-network, so you will be provided with a superbill at the end of each month to submit to your insurance for reimbursement.
Is postpartum mental health and identity therapy right for me?
Starting therapy is a personal and meaningful decision.
You may be here because something about motherhood, birth, or your sense of self feels different than you expected—more overwhelming, more fragile, or harder to navigate than it once did.
Maybe you’re adjusting to life after a birth that didn’t go as planned. Maybe you’re feeling anxious, stretched thin, or disconnected from yourself. Or maybe you’re moving through the quiet but powerful shift of becoming a mother while also holding onto your roles, your work, and your identity outside of motherhood.
Individual therapy at Birth Feelings is a space to process birth trauma, postpartum depression and anxiety, identity shifts in motherhood, and the emotional weight of trying to hold it all together.
You don’t need a specific diagnosis to benefit from support. If you’re feeling the pull to be witnessed, to make sense of your experience, or to feel more like yourself again, this space is for you.
What should I expect from postpartum and mental health identity therapy?
Therapy is not just about getting through this phase—it’s about understanding who you are becoming within it.
Motherhood can shift how you see yourself in ways that are both subtle and profound. You may notice changes in your confidence, your relationships, your work, or your sense of identity. Things that once felt easy may now feel heavier, and parts of yourself may feel harder to access or recognize.
When you have space to process your experiences, your emotions, and the demands you’re carrying, things begin to feel clearer. You can move through motherhood with more steadiness, more self-trust, and a greater sense of connection to yourself—not just as a mother, but as a whole person.
Whether you are navigating early postpartum, returning to work, or adjusting to the ongoing emotional load of motherhood, you don’t have to do it alone.
