Postpartum Depression Counseling in Bozeman, Montana

You Are Not Alone—And You Are Not Failing

Motherhood brings joy—but it can also bring unexpected emotional challenges. Many women experience postpartum depression, anxiety, sadness, disconnection, and at times, rage. These responses are not signs of weakness or failure. They are valid, human reactions to the immense demands of caregiving and the often-invisible cultural pressures placed on mothers.

At Sub Rosa Therapy, we offer compassionate, trauma-informed mental health and postpartum counseling that supports your adjustment to having a new baby and honors your full emotional experience—with care provided by a trained therapist who understands the complexity of this life stage.

What is Postpartum Depression?

Postpartum Depression (PPD) affects 1 in 5 new mothers and may begin during pregnancy or anytime in the first year after birth. Symptoms can include:

  • Sadness, overwhelm, or numbness

  • Anxiety or constant worry

  • Irritability, frustration, or rage

  • Guilt, shame, or difficulty bonding with your baby

  • Intrusive thoughts or fears

  • Sleep disruption and persistent exhaustion

PPD is often misunderstood or goes undiagnosed. Mental health therapy for postpartum depression provides a safe, nonjudgmental space to speak openly and begin to feel like yourself again.

What Postpartum Counseling Offers

We provide a supportive environment to:

  • Talk honestly about what you're feeling—without shame or pressure

  • Learn tools to manage anxiety, reconnect with your body, and find emotional steadiness

  • Support nervous system regulation through somatic therapy

  • Collaborate with medical providers, doulas, pelvic floor therapists, or lactation consultants as needed

We believe your well-being is essential—your needs, your voice, and your healing matter. Our experienced therapists provide care tailored to your mental health needs.

Postpartum Depression Therapy offerings are designed to meet you exactly where you are—with compassion, respect, and practical support rooted in feminist theory and somatic wisdom.

Our Therapeutic Approach

Our counseling draws from feminist, somatic, and trauma-informed frameworks, including:

Somatic Therapy (Somatic Experiencing)

To help your nervous system release the physical effects of stress, trauma, and birth experiences.

Feminist and Narrative Therapy

To explore and challenge internalized cultural messages around motherhood—reclaiming your voice and worth.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

To build inner clarity and compassion for the parts of you that feel conflicted, overwhelmed, or exhausted.

Spravato® Treatment (when appropriate)

For individuals experiencing severe or treatment-resistant postpartum depression, we offer Spravato® (esketamine) in a structured, medically supervised setting.
Note: Spravato is not recommended for clients who are actively breastfeeding.

Therapy That Meets You Where You Are

Whether you're weeks into postpartum or still feeling the effects years later, you deserve care that honors your full emotional reality—including complex feelings.

You are worthy of rest, support, and a renewed sense of self.
