Postpartum Depression Therapist in Auburn, MA

Having a baby is a major life shift, and it doesn’t always feel like the pure joy everyone expects. If you are feeling overwhelmed, persistently anxious, exhausted, or disconnected, you are not alone—and you don’t have to carry this burden by yourself.

At Kimina Counseling, LLC in Auburn, MA, licensed mental health counselors Kimberly Sanchez, LMHC, and Amina Mazzara, LMHC, provide a safe, judgment-free space for you to land. We specialize in helping mothers process complex emotions, manage anxiety, and regain their sense of self.

Whether you visit our Auburn office in person or schedule a baby-friendly telehealth session from your couch, we are here to support you.

Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs) can affect anyone. Unlike the temporary “baby blues,” which typically pass within two weeks, postpartum depression and anxiety last longer and can interfere with daily life.

Kimberly and Amina frequently help clients navigating:

• Persistent feelings of sadness, guilt, or feeling overwhelmed

• Racing thoughts, constant worry, or feeling “on edge” (Postpartum Anxiety)

• Intrusive, scary thoughts that leave you feeling panicked or shame-filled

• Difficulty bonding with your baby or feeling disconnected

• Extreme fatigue, irritability, or changes in appetite and sleep

• Healing from birth trauma or difficult medical experiences

Seeking help is not a sign of failure—it is an empowering first step toward recovery, and we are here to guide you.

Because no two mothers experience the postpartum period exactly the same way, Kimberly Sanchez and Amina Mazzara tailor your treatment plan to your specific needs using evidence-based tools:

Managing the Overwhelm (CBT & DBT): Amina and Kimberly utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help reframe anxious, intrusive thoughts and teach practical emotional regulation skills so you can handle the daily stress of parenting.

Healing Birth Trauma (EMDR): Our team offers EMDR therapy to safely process and heal from traumatic birthing experiences, NICU stays, or complicated pregnancies.

The “baby blues” involve mild mood swings and tearfulness during the first 10–14 days after delivery due to hormonal shifts. Postpartum depression lasts longer, feels more intense, and requires professional support. If you’ve been struggling for more than two weeks, Kimberly and Amina can help.

Yes! We understand the realities of caring for a newborn. In-person sessions with Kimberly and Amina at our Auburn office, as well as our virtual telehealth sessions, are completely flexible and baby-friendly. If you need to feed, soothe, or change your baby during a session, you are always welcome to do so.

Absolutely. Postpartum anxiety and intrusive thoughts are just as common as postpartum depression. Both Kimberly and Amina specialize in helping mothers calm racing thoughts and manage the physical symptoms of panic.

We accept various insurance plans and can verify your benefits before your first visit. Contact our office to confirm your coverage details.
