Infertility & Postpartum Therapy For Women

Chicago and Westmont

Supporting Mothers Through Postpartum Challenges

No one prepares you for how complicated this part can feel. You expected joy – and instead, maybe you’re wrestling with sadness, anger, or a constant undercurrent of anxiety. Maybe you’re grieving a loss or navigating a new identity that doesn’t quite feel like yours yet.

At Elevate Counseling, we support women through the full emotional scope of the postpartum experience – from infertility and miscarriage to the mental health challenges that can follow birth. Postpartum depression, anxiety, and birth trauma are more common than most people realize, and they’re nothing to be ashamed of.

You might feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure how to name what you’re going through. For some, postpartum depression symptoms show up as guilt, irritability, or detachment. For others, the experience deepens into a postpartum mood disorder or – in rare cases – postpartum psychosis. No matter where you fall on the spectrum, therapy can help you feel less alone.

Healing starts with being heard – and we’re here to listen.

Postpartum Therapy That Centers Your Needs

Our team offers specialized support for maternal mental health and perinatal mental health. Our postpartum therapists in Chicago and at our Westmont counseling location are trained to support women navigating perinatal depression, postpartum anxiety, and postpartum mood disorders with compassion and skill.

We work with you to explore issues like intrusive thoughts, perinatal mood shifts, self-worth, and partner communication. We also offer couples therapy to address the stress that can impact relationships during this transitional time. Using techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy, we provide concrete tools alongside space for healing and reflection.

Whether you’re in the city or the western suburbs, our women’s health clinics in Chicago and our team of BIPOC & Black Therapists in Chicago are committed to culturally aware and affirming care.

You deserve a therapist who understands both your identity and your experience as a new mom.

Flexible Therapy for Every Postpartum Journey

We know that finding time for yourself during postpartum recovery can feel impossible. That’s why we offer flexible options including online therapy services and in-person sessions. We tailor your care around your schedule, energy level, and caregiving demands. Your healing doesn’t have to wait for the “perfect” time.

Our team is here to meet you where you are – with zero pressure or judgment. From postpartum support to new mom counseling in Chicago, our services are designed to walk beside you during each chapter of your postpartum journey.
