Therapy for Anxiety and Depression During Pregnancy and Postpartum
Jordan Olsen LCSW, PMH-C
Individual Therapy with Jordan
I know how much effort it takes just to make it to the point of searching for a therapist.
If you are pregnant or postpartum and feeling alone, anxious, irritable or confused during this phase of life:
You are not alone, and you do not have to suffer through it.
No doubt about it, parenthood is one of -if not the biggest- transitions of your life.
So much can come up while we’re trying to get pregnant and during the postpartum time - whether its about a tough pregnancy, grief and loss, your birth story, relationships, past trauma… the list goes on. Many of us even start to struggle months or YEARS after our babies are born and don’t know why and can’t quite put a finger on it. Its SO HARD to know how to get help and move forward when it feels like you’re just getting through the days.
Thats where I come in.
My office is in a quiet, private environment that is more like your friends living room than a busy clinic.
We’ll start our time together with just getting a sense of how you’ve been feeling, what some of your goals are, and who you are as a person. I’ll ask you a lot of questions at first, but then sessions will be more like a conversation. It’s totally OK to come to therapy and not know what to talk about! Its my job to help us figure that out together :)
Our time together will be 50-55 minutes, whether in person or via telehealth.
We will work together to find ways that help you process and understand your experiences, learn new strategies, and help you find more peace. Working with both cognitive (brain) and somatic (body) techniques will help you make lasting change along the way.
Becoming a mom is complicated and nuanced, so I work from a systems perspective and take all parts of you and your life into account when supporting you.

Let me help you get started.
Welcome New and Been-Around-the-Block Moms!
There is a SERIOUS lack of understanding, support, and access to resources available to support moms’ and non-birthing parents’ mental health.
New moms face challenges that are significant, under-supported, and weirdly not talked about.
That’s why I’ve used my education and expertise in the field to start developing content and resources specifically for moms and birthing parents in the perinatal period, creating tools I wish I had for myself and the people in my community.
