Postpartum Support

FOR WOMEN IN KANSAS CITY

Navigating motherhood brings immense joy, and sometimes deep challenges. If you’re a new mom or soon-to-be mother in the Overland Park / Kansas City area experiencing postpartum anxiety or depression, you don’t have to face it alone. The Counseling Collaborative offers specialized individual counseling for women dealing with postpartum mood disorders and maternal mental health.

Postpartum anxiety and depression affect many women, yet they often go unspoken. The mix of hormonal changes, identity shifts, sleep deprivation, relationship stresses, and motherhood expectations can create a heavy burden. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from your baby, experiencing intrusive thoughts, or simply unable to 'snap out of it', therapy can help.

TYPICAL SIGNS YOU MIGHT NEED SUPPORT :

• Persistent sadness, tearfulness, irritability, or anxiety after childbirth

• Difficulty bonding with your baby or feeling detached

• Intrusive thoughts, panic attacks, excessive worry about baby or self

• Insomnia or hypersomnia, changes in appetite, fatigue beyond ‘baby fatigue’

• Feeling like you’re drowning, not connecting with your identity as a mom

HOW THERAPY CAN HELP

We support postpartum mothers in Overland Park understanding the unique stressors of postpartum life: isolation from family, balancing work/family, shifting roles. We’ll integrate your motherhood story into your broader wellness goals, so you emerge as a stronger, more grounded version of you.
