What postpartum depression and anxiety are

What postpartum depression
and anxiety can

look like.

Postpartum depression and anxiety are not character flaws or signs that you do not love your baby. They are driven by hormonal shifts, sleep loss, identity change, and new responsibility. Prior depression, anxiety, or trauma can raise the need for specialized support.

Virtual IOP and outpatient let new mothers across Colorado join groups from home, without a commute or extra childcare for a clinic visit. Benefits are verified by phone.

Perinatal Conditions

PPD, PPA, perinatal OCD,
and birth trauma.

We treat postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, perinatal OCD, and birth trauma in women-only virtual IOP and outpatient.

Mood Disorder

Postpartum Depression (PPD)

PPD is a persistent low mood that can begin any time in the first year after birth. It may show up as numbness, tearfulness, disconnection from your baby, or a deep sense that something is wrong. It is a medical condition.

Anxiety Disorder

Postpartum Anxiety (PPA)

PPA is often overlooked. It can look like relentless worry about your baby's safety, intrusive fears, inability to sleep even when your baby does, or physical symptoms like chest tightness and racing thoughts that never quiet down.

Intrusive Thoughts

Perinatal OCD

Intrusive, unwanted thoughts about harming your baby are a hallmark of perinatal OCD, and they are not a sign that you will act on them. These thoughts cause distress because you love your child. ERP is the method used to treat them.

Trauma Response

Birth Trauma & PTSD

Difficult or frightening birth experiences, including emergency interventions, medical complications, or feeling unheard, can leave trauma responses. Flashbacks, avoidance, and hypervigilance are signs that birth trauma needs clinical attention.

Recognition

Signs that this is more
than the baby blues.

You don't have to meet every criterion. If these patterns feel familiar and have lasted more than two weeks, support can help.

Emotional & Behavioral Signs

Persistent sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness
Feeling detached from your baby or unable to bond
Constant worry or catastrophic thinking about your child
Irritability, rage, or anger that feels out of proportion
Intrusive thoughts or fears you cannot control
Feeling like a bad mother or that your baby deserves better
Loss of interest in activities you used to enjoy
Difficulty making decisions or concentrating

Physical & Somatic Signs

Unable to sleep even when your baby sleeps
Exhaustion that sleep does not relieve
Racing heart, chest tightness, or panic attacks
Appetite changes, eating too little or too much
Headaches, stomach upset, or muscle tension
Feeling physically numb or disconnected from your body
Crying frequently or feeling unable to cry at all
Physical hypervigilance, always on alert for danger

Our Approach

Perinatal-informed care
that meets you exactly
where motherhood left you.

Perinatal Specialization

Our clinicians have specialized training in perinatal mental health, including the hormonal, biological, and identity shifts unique to the postpartum period.

Non-Judgmental Approach

Shame often surrounds postpartum struggles. The room is built so you can be honest about what you are experiencing, including thoughts you have been afraid to voice.

CBT, EMDR, and DBT

We use CBT, EMDR, DBT, and perinatal-specific interventions to reduce symptoms of PPD and PPA, build self-compassion, and strengthen mother-infant bonding, adapted for your current capacity.

Co-occurring care

Postpartum conditions frequently sit with anxiety, trauma, previous depression, or OCD. Co-occurring care means those conditions are treated in the same plan.

The first weeks

What postpartum treatment
can look like.

The work is finding yourself again, with support that accounts for how exhausted you already are. Groups meet on video from home so you do not need extra childcare for a clinic visit.

Most women begin within

24 to 72 hours

From first call to first session. We know you cannot wait, and neither can your recovery.

01

Confidential Perinatal Assessment

A licensed perinatal mental health clinician listens to what began during pregnancy or after birth, how you are feeling right now, and what matters most to you. No judgment, no rush.

02

Stabilization & Symptom Relief

We begin with skills for reducing anxiety spirals, managing intrusive thoughts, and building small pockets of calm, so you can show up more fully for yourself and your baby while deeper work unfolds.

03

Therapy for Root Causes

Using CBT, EMDR, and ACT, we address the patterns driving your symptoms, including birth trauma, identity shifts, relationship strain, and the grief that often accompanies early motherhood.

04

Bonding & Identity Support

Postpartum conditions can make bonding feel impossible. We work specifically on the mother-infant relationship, rebuilding connection and helping you find your own version of motherhood.

05

Ongoing Recovery & Step-Down

As symptoms improve, we develop a continuing support plan that accounts for ongoing postpartum hormonal shifts, relationship needs, and the transition back to daily life with confidence.
