At Zephyr Behavioral Health & Wellness, maternal mental health is important to us. Throughout May, we’re sharing personal stories from our team to show why it matters not just clinically, but personally.

This is Sam’s Story:

“If I could go back in time, I would tell myself that PCOS is a very valid, real experience. It's not just painful periods, uncontrollable acne breakouts, or weight gain. It's endless nights of crying, emotional mood swings, and low self-esteem because you're frustrated with your body.

And it looks like pausing on a dream that you've always had: being a mom.

Getting a diagnosis to explain all your pain will throw you off track, but it doesn't define you as less of a badass woman.

Being infertile doesn't mean you don't belong in the role of a mother, and it doesn't mean that your dream to have kids is over.

There are treatments that will help you, but only when you're ready, on your own timeline. Until then, take advantage of the adventures: the concerts, the vacations, the times of rest, and the moments you have.

PCOS and infertility don't define my womanhood, my worth, or my strength.”

Infertility and reproductive health conditions like PCOS (also referred to as PMOS) can have a major impact on mental health, identity, relationships, and self-esteem.

Stories like Sam’s are a reminder that maternal mental health also includes people who are trying to become parents, grieving what they expected their journey to look like, or still figuring out what comes next.

Meet Danae, one of the first people you’ll chat with at Zephyr. She helps manage scheduling, supports our therapists and medical providers, and keeps daily operations running smoothly.

Danae has degrees in psychology and sociology and brings two years of experience in mental health and case management, working directly with LGBTQ+, unhoused, and undocumented communities. They are a first-generation college graduate and have lived experience with mental health challenges, substance misuse, and homelessness. She says, “I appreciate all my experiences. They have shaped me into the professional I am now.”

Danae brings a trauma-informed, whole-person approach to her work and helps create a space where clients feel safe and comfortable.

They are from Northwest Georgia and love spending time with their family and friends. Danae also loves concerts, binge-watching Gossip Girl, crocheting, and photography.

You know you love her. XOXO, Gossip Girl 😉

At Zephyr Behavioral Health & Wellness, maternal mental health is important to us. Throughout May, we’re sharing personal stories from our team to show why it matters not just clinically, but personally.

This is Emily’s Story:

As a mom who recently graduated from the “2 under 2” phase of parenting, Emily has had two very different postpartum experiences.

After her first birth, she felt joyful and connected. It was everything she had hoped postpartum would be. But after the birth of her second child, following an unplanned C-section, things were different. She struggled with feeling disconnected and uncertain, and had difficulty processing her experience.

Looking back, Emily says one of her biggest turning points was letting go of the pressure she felt around breastfeeding.

“I felt so much better when I embraced my own maternal intuitions and released external pressures,” she says.

Her experience changed the way she thinks about postpartum, especially when it doesn’t look or feel the way a new parent expected it would.

Maternal mental health struggles can look like self-doubt or feeling disconnected from yourself.

There is no “perfect” way to move through postpartum, and no one should feel like they have to navigate it alone.

Every new mom is different. Some want company right away, and others need time and space. Check in, follow their lead, and be ready to help when needed.

But in general, “Let me know if you need anything” puts the mental load back on the new mom. Instead, choose something concrete and just do it.

Bring lunch. Wash the bottles. Walk the dog. Leave coffee on the doorstep. Research a pelvic floor therapist or mental health provider if they ask for help finding one.

And remember to ask the mom how she’s doing, too. 🤍

What’s one thing someone did for you postpartum that you still remember?

At Zephyr Behavioral Health & Wellness, maternal mental health is important to us. Throughout May, we’re sharing personal stories from our team to show why it matters not just clinically, but personally.

This is Katie’s Story:

After the birth of her first child in 2008, Katie returned to work wearing a smile, but privately, she was struggling with Postpartum Anxiety and Postpartum Depression.

At the time, few people were openly discussing Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs), and support was hard to find. Katie turned to online communities on Facebook, seeking support from other moms as she worked toward healing.

Her experience eventually led her into maternal mental health advocacy, where she connected with Postpartum Progress, which later became part of Postpartum Support International. That work inspired her to pursue social work so other moms would feel less alone.

“I wanted to be an example of someone who got better,” Katie says. “Motherhood is my greatest gift.”

Today, Katie is a therapist at Zephyr, specializing in perinatal mental health. Now a mother of three boys, ages 17, 15, and 11, she hopes sharing her story helps other parents feel less alone.

somewhere between “evidence-based treatment” and “bestie your nervous system is bringing for a nap” 🫶

either way, we’re here 😜

At Zephyr Behavioral Health & Wellness, maternal mental health is important to us. Throughout May, we’re sharing personal stories from our team to show why it matters not just clinically, but personally.

This is Cameron’s Story:

"In September 2017, I was 24 weeks and 1 day pregnant when I was diagnosed with severe preeclampsia. My daughter, Violet, was born two days later at just 1 lb 1 oz.

I was a young, single mom who had just been told, 'We need to take your baby out to protect you.'

Fourteen days later, I was back to work full-time so I could save my leave for when Violet was ready to come home from the NICU months later. She was discharged right around her 40-week mark with minimal complications.

But I was in survival mode for at least a year.

During that time, as isolated as I felt, I wasn’t alone. I had family, nurses, advocates, janitors, and the deli workers… and the deli workers at Rose Medical Center. They kept me going with my turkey, bacon, and ranch wrap dinner and a simple question: “How’s the baby doing?” They don’t even know they gave me more than just dinner.

Around Violet's first birthday, the adrenaline finally wore off, and I was able to feel what we had both been through the last year. I was utterly exhausted and downright angry that this was our experience. I felt both robbed and entirely grateful all at the same time, a feeling I’ve learned that many moms share."

Experiences like this can shape maternal mental health long after the crisis itself has passed. Healing and processing can take far longer than people expect.

For families navigating a premature birth or a NICU stay, March of Dimes offers support and resources.

What if depression and anxiety treatment could happen in just 1–2 days?

ONE-D TMS is a newer accelerated approach that combines multiple TMS sessions with one-time medication support, designed to help the brain respond faster.

TMS uses targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. It’s noninvasive and requires no downtime.

We are currently offering ONE-D TMS at over 30% off our standard self-pay rate for a limited time, and have Saturday appointments available.

Message us to learn more or book a free 15-minute consult with Emily Sisa, MSN, PMHNP-BC, FNP-C.

Happy Mother’s Day 💐

To all the moms, in every form, thank you for all that you do.

And if this holiday is complicated or painful, we see you too. 💛

Today is National Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day 💚

According to the CDC:
• 10% of children ages 3–17 had diagnosed anxiety
• 7% had diagnosed behavior disorders
• 4% had diagnosed depression
(2022)

Girls were more likely to experience anxiety and depression, while boys had higher rates of behavioral disorders.

Mental health challenges in children can stem from many factors, including genetics, trauma, stress, neurodevelopmental differences, chronic illness, and major family changes.

Children are deeply connected to the well-being of the adults caring for them, which is why the well-being of parents and caregivers plays a role too.

During Maternal Mental Health Month, it’s also important to recognize how untreated perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) can affect both parents and children. Caring for maternal mental health helps strengthen families as a whole.

Early support and access to care can make a meaningful difference for both children and families.

At Zephyr Behavioral Health & Wellness, we provide mental health care across the lifespan. We offer psychiatric evaluations for children ages 4 and up, as well as therapy services for older children and teens.

World Maternal Mental Health Day is a reminder that pregnancy and early motherhood aren’t always what people expect.

1 in 5 women experience anxiety, depression, or other mental health challenges during this time, and many go unrecognized or untreated.

If this is part of your experience, you’re not alone and you deserve support.

At Zephyr, we have clinicians with a focus on maternal mental health:
• Annmarie Kropp, DNP, PMHNP-BC, FNP-C, a Certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional (PMH-C) through Postpartum Support International (PSI)
• Katie Weimann, MSW, LSW, specializes in perinatal mental health and has experience in maternal mental health advocacy
• April Pickell, MSN, PMHNP-BC, also a birth and postpartum doula

For many of us, maternal mental health is also personal.

Throughout May, we are sharing stories from the team about why this work is important to us.
