Postpartum therapy in NYC & Westchester
Supporting Mothers and Families Through the Perinatal Journey
Welcoming a baby is a life-changing experience — joyful and overwhelming. Many new parents find themselves facing unexpected emotional challenges, from mood swings and anxiety to difficulties adjusting to their new roles. At Dr. Inzinna Psychological Services, we provide compassionate, evidence-based postpartum therapy to help you navigate these changes with support and confidence.
Understanding Postpartum Mental Health
It’s normal to experience the “baby blues” in the first days after childbirth. But when feelings of sadness, fear, or exhaustion persist, it may be a sign of a perinatal mood or anxiety disorder (PMAD). These are common, affecting 1 in 7 mothers — and they are treatable.
Common challenges include:
- Postpartum depression (persistent sadness, hopelessness, or guilt)
- Postpartum anxiety (racing thoughts, panic, excessive worry)
- Birth trauma or difficult labor experiences
- Adjustment struggles and identity shifts
- Stress balancing caregiving, relationships, and work
How Postpartum Therapy Can Help
Therapy offers a safe and supportive space to:
- Understand and normalize your experience
- Reduce anxiety, stress, and intrusive thoughts
- Process birth-related trauma
- Strengthen coping skills and resilience
- Improve sleep, mood, and daily functioning
- Support bonding with your baby and connection with your partner
Our Approach to Postpartum Therapy
Our clinicians use evidence-based approaches to combine psychodynamic psychotherapy with trauma-focused therapy and skills-based interventions. This means we don’t just treat symptoms — we also explore the deeper emotional shifts that come with motherhood, helping you build long-term resilience.
You’ll find therapy to be:
- Collaborative — a partnership between you and your therapist
- Compassionate — warm, supportive, and non-judgmental
- Trauma-informed — sensitive to the unique vulnerabilities of the perinatal period
- Flexible — tailored to your needs, whether you’re seeking short-term support or ongoing therapy
