Postpartum Therapy in California: What to Expect
Hey, Shameless Mamas - Let’s Talk about Maternal Mental Health
Motherhood changes everything—and sometimes, it changes you in ways you didn’t expect. Whether you’re navigating birth trauma, postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, or simply the emotional whiplash of becoming a parent, postpartum therapy can be a life-giving resource.
If you’re a high-achieving, resourceful woman used to managing it all, asking for help may feel unnatural. But therapy isn’t about weakness—it’s about sustainability. It’s about reclaiming your bandwidth, your identity, and your peace.
Here’s what you can expect from postpartum therapy in California—whether you’re in Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Francisco, or logging on from the comfort of your Marin home office.
1. Expert, Personalized Support
Postpartum therapy isn’t generic talk therapy. You deserve more than “How does that make you feel?”
At Shameless Mama Wellness, you’ll work with a specialist in maternal mental health and trauma. I’m trained in perinatal mood disorders, birth trauma, and EMDR—so whether you’re unraveling a complicated birth story or just feeling unrecognizable in your new role, you’ll be met with compassion and clinical expertise.
Expect:
Judgment-free space to say the hard things
Tools tailored to your personality and lifestyle
Support that acknowledges the complexity of your identity (mother, partner, professional, woman)
2. Telehealth That Meets You Where You Are
No commute. No logistics. No rushing through traffic with a diaper bag in the back seat.
All therapy sessions are offered via secure, high-quality telehealth. That means:
Flexible scheduling that respects your baby's nap times
Private, discreet sessions you can take from your home or office
A seamless experience that feels professional, not clinical
Whether you're in Silicon Valley or Santa Barbara, you can access expert virtual postpartum therapy across California—from wherever you feel safe and grounded.
3. A Space for Your Whole Self
You’re more than a mom. And in our work together, you get to be all of you. The woman with ambitions. The partner trying to reconnect. The daughter with a complicated family history. The human learning how to mother without losing herself.
Postpartum therapy is where we:
Deconstruct the shame around “not loving every moment”
Process trauma—birth-related or otherwise
Build boundaries that protect your time and energy
Restore your sense of self in a life that suddenly feels unrecognizable
4. High-Touch, High-Quality Care
This isn’t a volume-based practice. You won’t get shuffled through a waitlist or handed off to a generic provider.
When you reach out to Shameless Mama Wellness, you’re connecting directly with me. I keep a limited caseload so that every client receives:
Attuned, personalized support
Custom treatment planning
A therapeutic relationship built on trust, expertise, and real connection
You’re investing in a boutique experience—because your healing deserves that level of care.
Final Thoughts: Therapy Isn’t a Luxury. It’s a Lifeline.
Postpartum therapy isn’t about fixing you. You’re not broken. It’s about offering you the kind of support that matches the depth of what you’re carrying.
If you’re a new mom in California looking for a space to unravel, to heal, to reconnect with yourself—this is it. Therapy is available. It’s personalized. And yes, it fits your life.
