Becoming a parent is a life-changing experience.  There are so many moments filled with joy, excitement and love.  But many new parents struggle mentally during the perinatal period, which begins during pregnancy and lasts through your first year after having a child.  This can look like postpartum depression or anxiety, experiencing trauma symptoms after a difficult birth, struggling with grief after a miscarriage, or general new-parents anxieties and stress.  Many new parents aren’t aware of the resources available to them, or feel overwhelmed at how to get help.  Putting the work into finding a therapist can be the last thing you want to do when you are inundated with dirty diapers and bottles or wash, or in the throes of sadness and grief.  You are certainly not alone in feeling this way, and many therapists specialize in helping people deal with the emotional challenges that come up during family planning and beyond.  As a postpartum therapist in Denver, I want to share some insights as to how to go about finding the right provider for you. Read on for a step-by-step guide to finding the right postpartum therapist for you.
