Navigating Postpartum Mental Health Hurdles with Clinical Psychologist, Dr. Andrea Niles

postpartum depression and anxiety tips

Moms can experience a range of emotions and mental health hurdles, as to be expected with such a big life transition! From postpartum depression and anxiety, to intrusive thoughts, and even postpartum rage.

Even though these things can be common, there tends to be a lot of shame surrounding them and, often, a lack of accessible resources to help.

In this episode, I interview Dr. Andrea Niles, Clinical Psychologist and Co-Founder of Prospera Mental Health and Wellness. She is a clinical psychologist and founder of Prospera Mental Health and Wellness. She has studied anxiety and depression treatments and maternal mental health for 17 years and is passionate about making high quality mental health care widely accessible and affordable to everyone.

Dr. Andrea breaks down the most common mental health disorders in moms, how to know when to seek support, and how you can support your postpartum mental health starting in pregnancy.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

  • The difference between the most common maternal mental health disorders
