Postpartum Depression Therapy

Postpartum Depression in Boulder, Denver, Fort Collins, Broomfield and Longmont

Do you struggle with postpartum depression?

The birth of a child is often considered one of the most joyous events in a woman’s life, yet for many new mothers, this time can also bring unexpected emotional challenges. Postpartum depression is a serious condition that can develop any time within the first year after childbirth. While the “baby blues” are common and affect approximately 70-80% of new mothers, postpartum depression is more severe and can significantly impact your ability to function and care for your baby.

Postpartum depression can feel confusing and overwhelming, especially when it follows what society tells us should be a joyful experience. Many women feel ashamed of their feelings, leading them to suffer in silence. However, it’s important to know that you are not alone, and there is help available. At Colorado Women’s Center, we understand the complexities of postpartum depression, and our therapists are here to support you through this challenging time.
