Postpartum Therapy Denver

Compassionate care for the physical, emotional & spiritual shifts of pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond

Finding Your Postpartum Therapist in Denver

Your days feel like a blur—whether you're growing a baby or caring for one, the emotional and physical weight can be overwhelming. Maybe you're navigating waves of nausea and anxiety during pregnancy, unsure how to connect with your changing body or prepare for what’s to come. Or maybe you're deep in the postpartum haze, overstimulated, touched out, and running on empty.

You’re always bracing for the next need, the next meltdown, the next moment that might push you over the edge. The pressure builds until it spills over—you snap, then the shame floods in. No matter how much you do, it never feels like enough.

You’ve tried deep breaths, podcasts, and gratitude lists, but instead of feeling calmer, you just feel more guilty. On the outside, you might look like you’re managing—other moms might even say they don’t know how you do it. But inside, you're unraveling. You wonder if anyone else struggles this much, or if you're somehow failing at something that’s supposed to come naturally.

You love this baby—whether they’re still growing inside you or already in your arms—but you miss you, too. The version of you who wasn’t only a mom. And in those rare quiet moments, when you finally get space to yourself, you don’t even know how to fill it. You scroll your phone, numb out, and still feel empty. You just want to feel like yourself again.

How Postpartum Therapy in Denver Can Support You

Hi, I’m Leanne—a therapist for moms and art therapist in Denver, here to help you reconnect with yourself in the midst of pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. I support overwhelmed, perfectionistic, and people-pleasing moms (and moms-to-be) as they reclaim their sense of self and let go of the pressure to have it all together.

Therapy with me isn’t just another thing to check off your list—it’s a space to breathe, reflect, create, and come home to yourself. Whether you’re preparing for motherhood or deep in the throes of it, we’ll quiet the noise, soften the shame, and begin to rebuild your trust in yourself. Together, we’ll nurture a version of motherhood that feels grounded and true—not one shaped by guilt, fear, or unrealistic expectations.

What You Can Expect From Pregnancy & Postpartum Therapy Denver

For over a decade, I’ve worked with women navigating major life transitions—adolescence, trauma, relationship challenges, and motherhood. My approach is rooted in compassion and practical support, blending art therapy, mindfulness, parts work, and somatic (body-based) healing. I’ll guide you through processing your emotions in a safe, supportive space, while also equipping you with tangible tools to manage stress and find calm, especially outside of our sessions.

When therapy works, it feels like finally being able to exhale, like coming home to yourself. My clients rediscover joy in activities that are just for them, learn to say no to what drains them, and develop the skills to handle tough moments without being overwhelmed by guilt or shame. They find the confidence to parent on their own terms, knowing they don’t have to be perfect to be a good mom.

Why Choose Postpartum Therapy in Denver with Leanne

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or just unsure of how to move forward, postpartum therapy in Denver can help you reconnect with your strength and sense of purpose.
