    "When I had my first child, I was shocked by the challenges that I faced as a new mother.

    I’d like to say that I got help right away, but, like so many women, the shame of postpartum depression and anxiety kept me silent for nearly two years.

    When I sought out further training and began working with postpartum clients myself, I was struck by how many stories were so similar to my own. It also became clear that a therapist who is qualified to treat maternal mental health conditions is so important.

    I founded Phoenix Health to make it easier for new mothers like me to find the right help."

    “I had experienced anxiety on and off throughout my life, but when I got pregnant, it increased tenfold.

    I started seeing a therapist during my second trimester, and she gave me the tools I needed to cope with my anxiety.”

    “My first week of motherhood was the hardest week of my life. I couldn’t stop crying and wondered if I had made a mistake. I had gone through years of infertility treatments and now was regretting it.

    I felt so much guilt and finally told my partner. He found me a therapist who helped me unpack years of trauma that I didn’t even realize was affecting me. I was able to come to peace with what I had been through and now I feel like I am finally bonding with my son.”

    “I had never heard of postpartum rage before having my daughter. The feelings hit me like a ton of bricks.

    I was too ashamed to tell anyone what I was experiencing. Once I found a therapist that I clicked with, I was able to get back control of my emotions.”

    “My intrusive thoughts got really bad the first week after I had my son. I couldn’t take it anymore and finally told my doctor, who said I might be dealing with postpartum OCD and recommended that I see a therapist.

    Getting help changed my life. I’m now pregnant with my second child and therapy is helping me deal with my anxiety and prepare for the changes ahead.”
