Hey there!

I’m Kim Burris, Postpartum therapist, Founder of the holistic counseling center and author of ‘The First 90 Days After Birth: A Self-Care Journal for First-Time Moms.’

I’m so glad you’re here!

As a mother of two who has struggled with both postpartum depression and anxiety, I know how hard motherhood can be.

I founded The Holistic Counseling Center because I wanted there to be a safe place for moms to get the support they need.

Every postpartum depression therapist in our practice is also a mother.

We get it. We’ve been there. We can help.

We specialize in supporting mamas from pregnancy through the postpartum period and beyond, and offer evidence-based treatment with a heart-centered approach that honors the mind, body, and spirit connection.

We support moms just like you everyday because you deserve support and guidance on this journey.

Counseling for postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety works. We will help you find balance, navigate the challenges, reconnect to your heart and find more ease and joy in motherhood.

Postpartum Stress, Postpartum Depression and Postpartum Anxiety can look like:

  • You feel numb or disconnected from your baby

  • You're feeling overwhelmed, insecure, in awe, exhausted, anxious...wondering if you're doing this right, wondering when it's going to get easier, wondering when you can just rest

  • You're feeling angry, sad, irritable, overwhelmed, constantly fighting with your partner,  but assume it's all normal and expected in early motherhood so you will just keep taking it one day at a time and hope it gets better

  • You feel like you're losing yourself and need to find some space to stay connected with who you are outside of mothering

  • You've heard about  'postpartum depression' but honestly you feel a bit scared to look into it, because if you have ‘postpartum depression’ you worry that means you're not a good mom

  • The birthing experience was.....magical, traumatic, baffling, terrible, ecstatic, humbling, empowering....and you need a sacred space to integrate and honor the process of bringing life into the world

  • You keep thinking about your parents and how you were raised, the challenges and the blessings, the hurts and the gifts, and you're wondering how it all impacts you now that you're a mom

  • You're feeling overwhelmed with all the parenting blogs, posts, books and advice and want to develop and trust your own mama intuition

  • You are depleted and need a self-care plan

We see you.

You are not alone.

With loving care and support, you can and will feel like yourself again.

We can help.

 

No matter what you’re struggling with on your motherhood journey, you don’t have to face it alone.

Finding support during this oh so tender phase of motherhood is critical.

In our postpartum counseling sessions, you’ll learn to:

Strengthen the mind-body connection

So you can live from a place of deep inner wisdom, rather than just reacting to stress and overwhelm.

Practice self-care that actually works

So you can parent with more ease, joy and love.

Take steps to heal childhood wounds

So you can stop repeating self-sabotaging behaviors and actually enjoy motherhood
