Postpartum Therapy for Women in Tulsa
You can breathe again. Without guilt, without panic, without needing to earn that rest.
Your body feels foreign to you. Fluid is everywhere (milk, spit up, water, and the unspoken fluids of birth). You thought bonding with your baby would be instant and natural. You may be wondering, “Is this the rest of my life? Is this how I’m going to feel as a mom?”
Motherhood doesn’t have to feel like you’re always one step away from snapping or shutting down.
You don’t have to struggle through postpartum alone. You’re allowed to ask for help.
Maybe it’s a diagnosis of anxiety or OCD. Maybe it’s hormonal chaos no one warned you about. Either way, something feels off. Now, you’re constantly in your head and worrying about what that means for your baby, your marriage, or even your sense of self.
You snap at your partner and can’t remember why or where the anger came from. You cry in the shower to release the emotional tension of holding it together. You lie awake at night, replaying the day, wondering if this fog will ever lift. Whether this is your first baby or your fourth, this season is stretching you in ways that you never saw coming. And right now, you’re just trying to get through the day without losing your marbles.
It’s possible to feel calm, connected to yourself and your family, and proud of how you’re showing up.
You may be:
Crying more than you’d like, and not even sure why.
Having scary, intrusive thoughts that won’t go away, but you want them to stop.
Grieving the version of yourself before kids. The freedom, spontaneity, confidence, and ease that were so natural (and controllable).
Trying to make sense of what happened during and after birth, whether traumatic or overwhelming.
Feeling alone in this transition to motherhood, and worried about sharing how you really feel.
Therapy can help you…
Get out the door without spiraling about the diaper bag, nap/feed timing, or what could go wrong. No more “what ifs” running on loop while packing wipes and burp cloths.
Respond to intrusive thoughts without avoiding things, panic googling, or internal thought tornadoes. You’ll know it’s simply a thought. Not a sign that something will happen.
Rest during naptime instead of folding laundry or mentally rewriting the to-do list. You get to learn new tools to slow your nervous system down and quiet that inner voice that can be a *you know what.
Talk with your husband about what you need without blowing up or shutting down. We work on communicating effectively before the resentment even shows up.
Feel like you’re not just surviving motherhood but showing up calmly and authentically. You’ll feel more grounded and happy even when the baby cries and the house is a mess.
Postpartum therapy sessions look like:
I follow your lead in what you need each week. We always check in on anything you want to talk about.
You might come in after losing your cool over something small (like the burp cloths being in the dresser instead of on the changing table) and want to understand why everything feels so explosive lately.
You may be a few months into motherhood and already see glimpses of how you were parented showing up in your voice, and it stops you in your tracks.
Or maybe you come in with nothing because you’ve been too maxed out even to think. That’s okay. I always have something in my back pocket that connects with the goals we set in our first few sessions.
In our therapy sessions, you can expect to:
LEARN & PRACTICE NEW SKILLS TO STAY CALM IN THOSE MOMENTS OF ANGER.Figure out ways to communicate with your husband about the mental load.PROCESS WHAT YOU NEED.Work through the idea that you have to be put-together all the time.PRIORITIZE YOURSELF.
This is for you if:
You snap when your husband asks what’s for dinner because you’ve already made 47 decisions before noon, and no one even notices.
You look fine on the outside, but internally, you are tense. You are constantly scanning for what might go wrong next.
You’re tired of being the only one who knows the nap schedule, packs the diaper bag, and intentionally plays with your baby for their development.
You love being able to feed your baby, but you’re so touched out that you might scream. Your husband doesn’t understand that block to being intimate again.
You’ve tried venting to your husband, but it feels easier to keep quiet than deal with the defensiveness.
You love your baby, but you’re grieving the freedom, ease, and energy you once had.
You want to stop overthinking every cry, comment, and decision, but your brain won’t shut off.
You know something needs to change. You’re ready for support to help you feel like you’re thriving in motherhood, not just surviving.
