As a mother, LPC-Associate, masters level holistic nutritionist, and yoga teacher I blend time-tested practices with evidence-based approaches to support clients on their path of healing & self-discovery. I view the sensations and feelings our body sends us as messages of what needs some attention. The body is constantly in communication with our mind, and our mind with the body. Healing happens when we are able to tune into the bodies messages and truly listen. Processing difficult emotions isn’t a once in a lifetime experience. Because of this, my hope for each client is that I am able to teach them tools they can use beyond our time together. I am incredibly passionate about helping others feel at ease in their body & mind as they navigate their path of learning to tune-in to their self. https://www.courtneymorriscounseling.com/prenatal-postpartum-support daily 0.75 2021-10-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cb97f8bb9e2415f7583fb0/6da75345-396d-4068-ab9a-ebcdb6609c9f/CMM_Lifestyle_MorganWhitneyPhotography-56.jpg Prenatal + Postpartum Support - Beyond the “Baby Blues” Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders aka Postpartum Depression For new parents, some emotional and mental tension is to be expected while adjusting to the role. Approximately 70 to 80 percent of parents will experience the “baby blues.” The baby blues are a result of hormonal shifts taking place after giving birth, compounded with other stressors such as sleep deprivation, postpartum recovery, and shifts in responsibilities and roles. These symptoms generally fade within the first two to three weeks following birth. Around 15 to 20% of new parents, however, experience more significant symptoms of depression or anxiety called perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) which interfere with their ability to function, parent, and live life fully. Although the term “postpartum depression” is most often used, there are actually several forms of illness that women may experience, including: depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and psychosis — among others. PMADs are the most common complication of pregnancy and childbirth. Women of every culture, age, income level and race can develop perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. Symptoms can appear any time during pregnancy and the first 12 months after childbirth. There are effective and well-researched treatment options to help you recover. The risk factors for PMADs include: Family or personal history of mental health struggles Financial strain Birth trauma Previous perinatal losses Experiences with the NICU Struggles with feeding your baby Lack of social support Trauma histories, including past neglect or violence Please know that with informed care you can prevent a worsening of these symptoms and you can fully recover. There is no reason to continue to suffer. You can book an Individual Session, or a Couples Session if you would like your partner, or support person to join you. If we are meeting in person, children are welcome to join. https://www.courtneymorriscounseling.com/faq-more-info daily 0.75 2024-11-11 https://www.courtneymorriscounseling.com/ketamine-assisted-psychotherapy daily 0.75 2025-06-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cb97f8bb9e2415f7583fb0/cf6bf354-1514-4e90-8d5a-9b777458fcfe/F92D2337-9FEA-4801-9C41-30E4543D325B.png https://www.courtneymorriscounseling.com/emdr daily 0.75 2024-11-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cb97f8bb9e2415f7583fb0/1731336763396-06IGD8EBAYWEPWLAHJ7Z/unsplash-image-IGaGu2vXZhs.jpg https://www.courtneymorriscounseling.com/prenatal-postpartum-support-1 daily 0.75 2024-11-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cb97f8bb9e2415f7583fb0/6da75345-396d-4068-ab9a-ebcdb6609c9f/CMM_Lifestyle_MorganWhitneyPhotography-56.jpg Prenatal + Postpartum Support (Copy) - Beyond the “Baby Blues” Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders aka Postpartum Depression For new parents, some emotional and mental tension is to be expected while adjusting to the role.
