Therapists shouldn’t have to choose between caring for others or caring for themselves.

We’re a good fit if you’re a licensed therapist with a growth-mindset, looking to join a practice committed to providing compassionate, inclusive, affirming, trauma-informed, and research-backed therapy, while ALSO collaborating with others passionate about transparency, work-life balance, and well-paid therapists. This is a remote (set your own schedule), w2 position with competitive benefits (70/30 split, PTO, CE stipend). Email to find out more: anne@ampersandtherapyco.com

You’ve heard about postpartum depression. But postpartum anxiety?

It flies under the radar—especially when the world expects you to be "grateful," "soaking up every moment," and "loving every second."

But if your mind won’t slow down, if you’re stuck in hyper-alert mode, or if sleep feels impossible even when baby’s down… this might be more than just new mom worries.

Swipe through for 5 common signs of postpartum anxiety—and know this:

You're not too sensitive. You're not alone. You're not a bad mom.

You're a real mom, going through something real.

I’m here to help you work through it with evidence-based tools, deep compassion, and no judgment.

You are so good at taking care of your baby. How are you doing taking care of yourself? (That’s what I thought) 😅

Sometimes it’s hard to take care of yourself. “Self-care” seems more like a joke than a reality. But here’s the thing: When your mental health suffers, your ability to show up in the best way for the people you care about also suffers. (You’ve heard the saying “you can’t pour from an empty cup, right?. . .) ☕️

I’d also like to point out that there is a HUGE difference between basic needs (food & water, moments of quiet, sleep, etc.) and filling your cup types of self-care (girls nights, bubble baths, massages). We can all aspire to a solid amount of category 2, but meeting basic needs is non-negotiable. If you’re not meeting your own basic needs you’re headed for burnout.

So, while you’re taking care of your sweet baby, check in on yourself too: Do you need water? Food? A moment of quiet? Are you overstimulated? Do you need to head home now before you become overstimulated? Do it.

You are SO GOOD at what you do. So why does life feel so chaotic? You’ve worked hard to get to this point in your life, and you’re proud of yourself. You just didn’t expect it to feel like this...

➡️Do you feel like this new phase of life has become all-consuming and you no longer feel like yourself?
➡️Are you interested in finding better ways to cope?
➡️Do you really want more control over your reactions and ability to handle situations?

Look, I understand that you CAN handle your sh*t. And you DO actually love your partner/kids. I also understand that two things can be true at once. And just because you’re holding it together, doesn’t mean we can’t make it easier on you.

Hi, I’m Anne. I’m a therapist dedicated to working with overwhelmed and anxious moms in the family building years. Whether you’re TTC, somewhere in the process, or are surviving the day-to-day with a young family, I’ve been there. I understand that this time in your life is important to you. . . and it can also be a total head-trip.

As a therapist I use modern, RESEARCH backed methods for helping you reclaim the life you had planned on living. I’m currently accepting new clients and would love to work with you. Schedule an intro call using the link in my bio if you live in FL, IA, ID, SC or IN. I look forward to speaking with you!

It’s actually EVERYONE’S first rodeo.

We’re all new here and learning as we go. Somewhere on social media is a mom that serves dinner right after school, because it works best for her kids 🤩 (help me out if someone can credit the right person, I’ve long forgotten). This year, in 2025, give yourself to live a life that works FOR YOU.

A common topic in therapy is examining the expectations we put on ourselves, and where those come from. Are they worth holding on to? Why are they hard to let go of?

Interested in giving yourself permission to live more authentically?

Self-care, what’s that? 🧐

It can feel like a dirty word, or another unmet expectation, especially if you’re drowning.

✨It often takes the shape of journaling, exercising, meal-planning, date-nights, girls-nights, etc. (All, great goals!) ⭐️

✨ But sometimes the time, money, or capacity just doesn’t exist for these types of self-care. 💕

✨Sometimes caring for yourself simply means treating yourself with kindness and knowing that it’s okay to find pleasure and joy in life, especially when you’re struggling. 🫶☕️

Interested in learning how to extend grace and kindness to yourself?

I have currently have room for 2-3 new clients.

As a client you get 1 on 1 support tailored to YOU. We will explore your specific parenting experiences and how you have (or have not) been coping. You will gain new understanding and skills that will enable you to manage stress, stop anxiety, and advocate for yourself and your time.

Are you ready to:

❄️Care for yourself like you care for others?
❄️Manage your anxiety?
❄️Maintain your boundaries?

Then use the link in my bio to schedule a session or a 15-minute consultation call.
