Perinatal & Postpartum Mental Health
in Morgantown, WV & Telehealth across WV & VA
The transition to motherhood is one of the most profound emotional and physical changes a person can experience. While this season can hold deep love and connection, it can also bring vulnerability, overwhelm, and emotional challenges that many parents are not prepared for.
​
Postpartum mental health concerns are common and treatable. They are not a reflection of your ability as a parent, but a sign that your nervous system, hormones, identity, and life demands are adjusting to significant change.
​
At In Tune Counseling, our clinicians are specially trained through Postpartum Support International (PSI) to provide evidence-based, compassionate care for individuals during pregnancy, postpartum, and the perinatal period.
How Postpartum Mental Health Can Impact Daily Life
Perinatal and postpartum concerns may include:
-
Anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and constant worry
-
Depression, sadness, or emotional numbness
-
Irritability and emotional overwhelm
-
Sleep disruption and exhaustion
-
Identity changes and loss of self
-
Difficulty bonding or feeling connected
-
Guilt, shame, or fear of "not doing enough"
​
These experiences are more common than many realize, and support can make a meaningful difference.
