Mother And Baby

Perinatal & Postpartum Therapy in Orange County & virtually anywhere in CA

You prepared for the sleepless nights and the diaper changes. But nothing could have prepared you for how heavy, lonely, and overwhelming this transition actually feels.

​

You don't have to navigate the postpartum fog alone.

You thought motherhood would feel natural.
Instead, you just feel lost. 

When you look around at other moms in Orange County—or scroll through social media—it seems like everyone else is glowing, bonding effortlessly with their babies, and enjoying every single moment.

​

Meanwhile, you are silently struggling to keep your head above water. You love your baby fiercely, but you might also be grieving the life, the freedom, and the identity you left behind.

Does any of this sound familiar?

You are

"touched out."

 

By the time your partner gets home, the thought of one more person needing you makes you want to crawl out of your skin.

Your mind is constantly racing.

​

You lie awake at night checking the baby monitor, obsessing over feeding schedules, and playing out terrifying worst-case scenarios in your head.

You feel a deep sense of guilt.

​

You feel guilty for being frustrated, guilty for not loving every second, and guilty for missing your old self.

Your birth didn't go

as planned.

​

You are carrying quiet trauma from a difficult pregnancy, a scary delivery, or a stay in the NICU, and everyone keeps telling you, "At least you have a healthy baby!"

Jillian Hynynen, LCSW therapy to heal mothers from postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety

Finding your solid ground again.

At Nourish Mental Health, I specialize in helping mothers heal from Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs), including postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and postpartum OCD.

This is a safe harbor. There is no thought too dark, too scary, or too messy to share here. I understand the profound psychological shift of becoming a mother—a process called matrescence—and I know how to help you through it.​

​

In our sessions, we will work together to:

​

  • Quiet the intrusive thoughts and ease your postpartum anxiety.
     

  • Process any birth trauma or grief in a deeply compassionate space.
     

  • Help you and your partner communicate through the sleep deprivation and reconnect.
     

  • Rebuild your confidence and help you honor the "new" you.
