Postpartum Depression & Anxiety Treatment

Compassionate, specialized care for emotional health after pregnancy.

Becoming a parent can bring joy, love, and meaning — and it can also bring exhaustion, fear, and emotional overwhelm. If sadness, anxiety, or intrusive thoughts are taking over, you are not alone, and effective help is available.

At Scottsdale Counseling & Wellness, we provide therapy and psychiatry designed specifically for women navigating the perinatal and postpartum period. For those needing more support than weekly visits, our Women’s Intensive Outpatient Program may be recommended.

Postpartum mood and anxiety symptoms are common and treatable. Hormonal shifts, sleep disruption, physical recovery, and identity changes can strongly influence mental health.

Many women tell us they feel guilt or shame for struggling. In reality, these experiences are medical and psychological — not personal failures.

Signs It May Be Time for More Support

You might benefit from treatment if you notice:

• persistent sadness or tearfulness

• racing or intrusive thoughts

• difficulty sleeping even when the baby sleeps

• irritability or anger

• feeling detached from yourself

• fear something terrible will happen

• worry you are not a good parent

If symptoms are interfering with daily life, a higher level of care can help stabilize things more quickly.

Our Approach

We integrate:

✔ therapy
✔ coping and nervous system skills
✔ psychiatric evaluation when needed
✔ attention to hormonal and biological factors

Care is individualized, respectful, and collaborative.

When IOP Might Help

If weekly therapy hasn’t been enough, attending treatment several days per week often leads to faster relief and greater confidence.
