Hello world! Welcome to the first few weeks after America elected Donald J. Trump to be the 45th President of the United States. Are you still stressed/confused/planning to move/scheduling an appointment to get an IUD before it’s too late? Me too!

The American Psychological Association estimates that 9-16 percent of new moms will experience postpartum depression (PPD). That makes it a fairly strong possibility that someone in your life is struggling or will struggle with the condition.

Nowadays, about half of Americans seek treatment from a therapist to help them with a variety of issues in their lives. Anyone who tells you that you don’t need a therapist, or that you should just work it out on your own, is wrong. Maybe you’ve had a traumatic break up, or are struggling with mental health issues — a therapist can help with both of those things.
