So many moms who reach out to us share that they initially had no idea they were experiencing a postpartum mood or anxiety disorder. They had convinced themselves they were just ungrateful, not cut out to be a mom or “failing” at motherhood.

Swipe through this post to learn more about what PMADs can actually look like. If you’re going through this, you are not alone 🤍

Studies show that 1 in 5 women will experience a perinatal mood or anxiety disorder during pregnancy or postpartum, and up to 75% of women experiencing maternal mental health conditions never receive the treatment they need.

Just because something is common doesn’t mean you have to keep living with it.

Our therapists with specialized training in perinatal mental health are here to support you whenever you’re ready. Reach out at clark-counseling.com/contact to get started

✨ Meet Ashley ✨

Ashley is passionate about walking with women through the complexities of pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, and loss. She also supports women navigating major life transitions and the emotional weight that can come with them.

She brings a compassionate, steady presence and creates a space where you can feel seen, supported, and not so alone in what you’re carrying.

We’re so glad she’s part of our team at Clark Counseling!

If you’ve been feeling off in pregnancy or postpartum this is for you.

PMADs (perinatal mood & anxiety disorders) are the #1 complication of childbirth…but so many women suffer quietly. If you think you’re the only one we are here to remind you that you are not alone. Help is available and healing is possible.

You don’t have to wait until things get worse.

Sometimes the hardest question to answer is this one: Am I actually doing okay?

A lot of women we talk with are managing work, family, responsibilities, and relationships… but still wondering why something feels a little heavier than it used to.

One simple way to check in with your mental health is noticing your green flags (signs things are steady) and red flags (signs you may need more support).

You don’t have to wait until things feel overwhelming to pay attention to what’s changing.

In this carousel, we’re sharing what those signs can look like and how to recognize them earlier.

Save this for a future check-in 🤍

Mother’s Day can be a difficult day for a number of reasons. Especially for mothers who are carrying the grief of miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss.

If that is you, we want to share a beautiful local event created just for you. Mother’s Day Celebrating Love, hosted by the Maternal Wellness Program, is an evening of remembrance, connection, and support with other mothers who understand this unique journey.

This gathering honors the enduring bond between mother and child and creates space for reflection, healing, and community. The evening includes meaningful conversation, a welcoming atmosphere with refreshments, and the opportunity to create a keepsake bracelet in memory of your baby.

Friday May 8th from 6-9pm
At The Honeysuckle Co. 3900 Costa Avenue NortheastGrand Rapids, MI
RSVP is required by May 1st

If you’ve gone through the grief of miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss this could be a meaningful space to be seen and supported.

Music Monday 🎧

Sometimes it’s not a breakthrough..it’s a pattern finally recognized. Or the quiet decision to feel something instead of push past it.

Noah Kahan calls it growing sideways. And in therapy, we see it all the time: the most meaningful shifts often happen beneath the surface, long before anything looks different on the outside.

If you’re in that season right now (doing the slow work of healing) know it counts.

✨ We’re hiring! ✨

Clark Counseling is growing, and we’re looking for a perinatal mental health therapist (with the option to also see couples) who’s warm, relational, and committed to providing excellent care to our clients.

If you value authentic connection, collaborative teamwork, and a positive environment that truly practices what it preaches (boundaries, balance, and care), we’d love to hear from you.

This is a virtual position for a LMSW, LLMSW, or LPC licensed in the state of Michigan.

How do you know if you’re actually doing okay mentally?

Maybe you’re functioning, showing up for everyone else, getting through the day but quietly wondering if you should do something about things feeling of being “off.”

In our newest blog post, we share a simple way to check in with yourself using green flags, yellow flags, and red flags for mental health. It’s a helpful way to notice when things are going well and when it might be time for extra support.

For many women, food has become a source of stress, guilt, and confusion. Diet culture tells us to shrink, restrict, and ignore our hunger, but what if we listened to our bodies instead? If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of dieting, emotional eating, or body dissatisfaction, know that there’s another way.

What we’re learning behind the scenes at Clark Counseling

Last week our team spent time with Valerie Babbitt, MA, LLP from learning more about ADHD and neurodiversity.

We talked about:
• how ADHD can show up differently in women
• why many high-functioning adults (especially women) go undiagnosed for years
• ways we can support our clients with executive functioning, task completion, and self-understanding

We’re grateful for opportunities to keep learning so we can support our clients with more clarity and care 🤍 Thank you Valerie for sharing your knowledge and expertise with our team!
