Are You a New Mother Struggling with Perinatal Mood Changes?

Perinatal mental health counseling in Layton, UT — in-person sessions + telehealth available.

Learn How to Navigate Perinatal Mental Health Challenges WITHOUT Feeling Overwhelmed, WITHOUT Medication, and WITHOUT Losing Yourself in Motherhood!

If you’re experiencing mood swings, feeling unusually anxious, or finding it hard to bond with your baby – it’s easy to dismiss these as “just baby blues” or something that “every mother goes through.”

You might not understand why you feel so disconnected or unable to cope – but the feelings don’t seem to improve!

If that’s happening to you, you’re not alone – we always hear this type of thing. Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders are among the most common mental health challenges that we address at Olympus Counseling Services.

And when it comes to living with these issues, every mother we see wants to know:

“Why Is This Happening To Me?”

~ or ~

“Why Am I Still Struggling With These Feelings Weeks or Months After Giving Birth?”

Many believe their struggles will fade away as they adjust to motherhood. They hope to wake up one morning to find that the anxiety, depression, or irritability has lessened… But then time passes, and they’re still coping with these feelings, often worse than when it started.

Does That Sound Like You?

Another scenario we often encounter is when new mothers turn to their doctors, and they’re advised to “just relax,” “sleep when the baby sleeps,” or “try these medications.” However, this advice rarely provides the long-term support or understanding they need. Weeks later, they still struggle, feeling more isolated and misunderstood.

Has This Type of Thing Happened To You?

Perhaps you’re overwhelmed because you’ve received various suggestions from different sources. You might have been told to “enjoy your baby” or that “this will pass soon.”

The plethora of advice can be confusing, making determining the best course of action challenging. This confusion often leads to procrastination, with many resigning to the idea that struggling during the perinatal period is just a “part of life.”

If You’re Currently Living With Perinatal Mental Health Challenges, Here Are 7 Reasons Why It Could Be Lasting Longer Than It Should:

You hoped the feelings would subside by themselves, but they persisted.
Your healthcare provider advised rest and possibly prescribed medications, but the relief was temporary, and the issues returned.
Someone you know suggested that all new mothers go through this, making you feel your concerns are not legitimate.
You sought help from other healthcare professionals, maybe even another therapist, but didn’t find the right support.
You tried to “stay strong” for your family, which only led to suppressed emotions.
You were advised to avoid discussing your struggles, leading to increased feelings of isolation.
You opted for self-help books or online support groups, which provided insights but not the personalized support you needed.

We invite you to reach out if any of these resonate with you. Speak with one of our perinatal mental health specialists to discover how to find a path to feeling like yourself again. Remember, identifying what doesn’t work brings you one step closer to a solution that does.

Review:
This is a long review, but well worth your read.

If I could give Blake a review of 10 stars, I would without hesitation. Growing up, I had many challenges in my life, and therapy was something I despised. I held a belief that therapists were merely going through the motions, caring only about their paycheck. The thought of seeking therapy again was daunting, but as I've grown older, I realized it was necessary. Blake, however, shattered my preconceived notions and made me feel valued and significant. I cannot emphasize enough how genuinely empowering my experience with him has been.

Blake's unwavering support and dedication have allowed me to regain control over my life. We have been working together for approximately a year, and I wholeheartedly encourage everyone to give him a chance. Our sessions always seem to end too quickly, as time flies by unnoticed. One of the things I appreciate most about Blake is that I never feel judged in his presence. This safe space has given me the confidence to express myself fully and honestly.

As a Latina, feeling heard within my own family has been a rarity. However, through therapy with Blake, I have come to understand that my feelings are valid and worthy of acknowledgment. He has encouraged me to explore different perspectives and challenged me to broaden my worldview. This newfound awareness has been invaluable, and I am eternally grateful for Blake's guidance and support.

In conclusion, Blake is an exceptional therapist who has had a profound impact on my life. His ability to make me feel important and heard is unparalleled. If you're hesitant about therapy like I once was, I implore you to give Blake a chance. He has not only empowered me to stand my ground but has also helped me reclaim control over my life. Thank you, Blake, for your remarkable presence and the positive change you have brought into my life

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t adequately explain how grateful I am for Olympus Counseling Services. Blake has been such a joy to work with, from working hard to make sure we have a time that works for our family, to making it his mission to connect with my son, so he can offer him the best counseling services. My son has said more than once that even when he feels like he no longer needs Blake for counseling, he wants to keep seeing him as more of a life coach. I am one grateful momma! Thank you, Blake!!
