We Understand What You're Going Through
Many people in Tucson struggle with the same challenges
They said motherhood would be magical. So why do you feel broken?
Everyone expects you to be glowing with joy. Instead, you feel disconnected, overwhelmed, and terrified—and the guilt of not being "happy enough" makes it worse.
Struggling to feel connected to your baby?
You love your baby—you know you do. But the bonding everyone talks about feels forced. The intrusive thoughts are terrifying. You're afraid to tell anyone.
Constant worry about everything that could go wrong?
Is the baby breathing? Did I do something wrong? What if something happens? The anxiety never stops, and sleep feels impossible even when you finally have the chance.
Lost yourself in becoming a mother?
You used to know who you were. Now your entire identity is "mom" and you're mourning the person you used to be while everyone tells you to "enjoy every moment."

Got Questions About Postpartum Depression Therapy?
Everything you need to know about our postpartum depression therapy services in Tucson.
Is what I'm feeling normal for a new mom?
Many new parents struggle with feelings of overwhelm, sadness, anxiety, or disconnection. These feelings are more common than you might think—1 in 5 mothers experience postpartum depression or anxiety. Whatever you're feeling, you're not alone, and struggling doesn't make you a bad parent.
Can I do therapy sessions with my baby present?
Absolutely. We understand that finding childcare as a new parent can be challenging. Your baby is welcome to be present during sessions—they can nurse, nap, or play while we work. Your comfort is what matters most.
How does telehealth therapy work?
You'll connect with your therapist via secure, HIPAA-compliant video from any private location. All you need is a device with a camera and a stable internet connection. Most clients use their phone, tablet, or computer from the comfort of home.
What happens in the first session?
Your first session is about getting to know you. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy, your goals, and what you hope to achieve. There's no pressure—it's a conversation, not an interrogation. You'll also have time to ask questions and see if we're the right fit.
How long does therapy typically take?
It varies by person and concern. Some clients see meaningful progress in 8-12 sessions. Others benefit from longer-term support. We'll regularly check in on your goals and progress so you're always in control of your journey.
Do you accept insurance?
We operate on a self-pay model, which means no insurance hassles, no claims to file, and no surprise bills. Many clients prefer this for privacy (sessions don't go on your medical record) and simplicity. We offer transparent, competitive rates with flexible payment options.
