Postpartum Anxiety Therapy in Denver, CO | Sitting in Sisterhood

Postpartum anxiety can feel like a constant hum of worry, a racing mind that never shuts off, or a sense that something bad is always about to happen—even when everything looks “fine” on the outside. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

In case you’re new here, I’m Stephanie from Sitting in Sisterhood, a trauma-informed space for women navigating emotional transitions.

I offer postpartum therapy in Denver to help you calm your nervous system, process what’s beneath the anxiety, and feel like yourself again. Let’s explore how this support can help you move from survival to steady ground.

Postpartum anxiety therapy supports women who feel overwhelmed, panicked, or hypervigilant after giving birth. While postpartum depression often gets more attention, postpartum anxiety is just as common—and just as real.

It might show up as racing thoughts, irrational fears, or the inability to rest, even when the baby is sleeping. Therapy offers you space to unpack those emotions without judgment.I don’t treat you like a diagnosis— I meet you as a whole woman who’s carrying a lot. I’ll support you in calming your nervous system, releasing internalized pressure, and restoring balance.

• Constant worry or fear, often about the baby’s health or safety
• Racing thoughts or a sense of dread
• Physical symptoms like a tight chest, nausea, or shakiness
• Difficulty sleeping, even when exhausted
• Irritability or feeling “on edge” most of the time
• Avoiding people, places, or situations out of fear
• Intrusive thoughts that feel scary or shameful

You are not a bad mother for feeling this way. You are a human navigating a massive life shift—and you deserve support.

• Do I feel consumed by fear or what-ifs, even when things seem fine?
• Do I avoid leaving the house or letting others help with the baby?
• Am I constantly scanning for danger or catastrophizing?
• Do I feel disconnected from myself or unable to relax at all?
• Have others told me to “just enjoy this time” but I feel frozen or panicked?

If any of these resonate, postpartum anxiety therapy might be the grounding space you’ve been needing.

At Sitting in Sisterhood, my therapy approach is not about “fixing” you. It’s about gently helping your body and nervous system shift out of survival mode—so you can access calm again.

I use:

• Somatic tools for grounding and emotion regulation
• Nervous system education to help you understand what’s happening inside
• Space to process intrusive thoughts without shame
• Reconnection with your body, identity, and intuition
• Support to explore the expectations and pressures you’re carrying

This is a space where you can exhale. You don’t need to be “strong” or “grateful.” You just get to be real.

• Coping with panic, fear, or chronic overstimulation
• Processing birth experiences and expectations vs. reality
• Navigating identity shifts and “mom guilt”
• Exploring boundaries, support systems, and needs
• Releasing shame around intrusive or scary thoughts
• Grounding practices for daily regulation

• Try a 5-4-3-2-1 grounding practice when overwhelmed
• Eat and hydrate regularly, even if your appetite is low
• Use simple mantras like “I am safe in this moment”
• Ask for help even if it feels uncomfortable—you don’t have to prove anything
• Talk to a therapist trained in perinatal mental health (hi 👋)
