Postpartum Depression Treatment in New York

Adjusting to life after birth is one of the most profound emotional transitions a woman can experience. While this time is often portrayed as purely joyful, the reality for many women is far more complex. If you are struggling with sadness, overwhelm, irritability, anxiety, or disconnection after having a baby, you are not alone and you are not failing.

Postpartum depression (PPD) is common, treatable, and deserving of compassionate, specialized care.

As a psychiatric nurse practitioner serving women across New York, I provide trauma-informed evaluations, medication management, and emotional support tailored to the postpartum period. My goal is to help you feel steadier, supported, and more like yourself again.

Common symptoms of postpartum depression may include:

  • Persistent sadness or tearfulness

  • Feelings of guilt, shame, or inadequacy

  • Irritability or emotional overwhelm

  • Loss of interest in usual activities

  • Intrusive or distressing thoughts

  • Difficulty bonding with your baby

  • Changes in sleep or appetite

  • Anxiety, restlessness, or rumination

  • Feeling disconnected from yourself or others

These symptoms are not your fault and they do not define your ability to be a loving, capable mother. With timely support, most women experience significant relief and healing.

My approach is gentle, collaborative, and grounded in your real-life experience. Together, we explore what you’re feeling, discuss treatment options, and create a plan that supports your emotional wellbeing during this vulnerable time. Medication management is available when appropriate, and all decisions are made with clarity, compassion, and respect for your values.

You do not have to navigate postpartum depression alone. Healing is possible, and support is available.
