Katy Liebling, Therapy for Postpartum Anxiety and Depression

Hi, I’m Katy

I’m a therapist who specializes in working with moms during one of the biggest transitions of their lives.

Most of the women who find me are smart, capable, loving moms who never expected motherhood to feel this hard. They come to me because they’re struggling with postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, intrusive thoughts, birth trauma, or the emotional weight of becoming a new version of themselves.

They love their babies.
And they don’t feel like themselves anymore.

I've worked with new moms and parents of medically complex children for over 20 years, and I'm a mom myself. I know firsthand how much the first year can upend everything you thought you knew about yourself.

And yet most moms are expected to quietly figure it all out — running on no sleep, holding everyone else together, pretending they're fine.

I don't think you should have to do that.

I specialize in perinatal mental health and am certified in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C) through Postpartum Support International. I also have advanced training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) — which in practice means we work on the actual thought loops keeping you stuck, not just talking about your feelings in circles.

Therapy with me is a place where you can be honest about how hard this really is - without being told to "just be grateful" or "enjoy every moment."

Outside of my work, I’m a wife and a mom to a teenage son. We love spending time together playing Dungeons & Dragons and re-watching our favorite Middle Earth movies. I’m also a bit of a perfume collector, if you're curious about using scent intentionally to shift your mood or calm your nervous system, that's actually something I love talking about.

If any of this sounds like you, I'd love to connect.
