When Amy was enduring postpartum depression (PPD) and postpartum anxiety (PPA), she met with Lyndsey Proctor, LCSW. Lyndsey is a maternal mental health therapist as well as the founder and clinical director of Serenity Recovery and Wellness.
Lyndsey’s clinic is unique in that it offers childcare along with therapy. She understands how hard it is to seek help without burdening others and has worked hard to make it a safe place for women and children.
We discuss the signs and symptoms of PPD and PPA, the top three problems Lyndsey seeks to remedy when starting therapy with a new client, and the toll perinatal mood and anxiety disorders take on the mother’s partner. Lyndsey also addresses each question submitted by our listeners.
Ultimately, her advice?
Mama. If you are questioning whether or not you need to see a therapist, you need to see a therapist.
