POSTPARTUM SUPPORT
You’ve been trying to push through—but something feels off. Some days feel manageable. Others feel overwhelming. And you’re starting to wonder if this is more than just stress.
You Are Not Alone
in This.
Postpartum therapy can help if you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or unlike yourself after having a baby. Many new mothers struggle with postpartum depression symptoms, anxiety symptoms, mood swings, reduced interest in participation, or difficulty adjusting to motherhood.
You may find yourself crying more often, feeling disconnected, or constantly worried about your baby's safety. Some women feel sadder after having a baby — or struggle with not bonding with their baby right away. These emotional changes are more common than many women realize, and you do not have to face them alone.
Postpartum therapy provides a supportive space to talk openly about what you are experiencing, gain coping tools, and begin to feel more stable, confident, and understood during this transition into motherhood.

Talor Hawkins, LCSW
Postpartum & Reproductive Mental Health Therapist
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California, specializing in postpartum mental health, reproductive wellness, and trauma-informed care. I am deeply motivated by lived experience and professional training to create a space where every client feels genuinely heard, understood, and supported.
My approach blends evidence-based practices — including EMDR, trauma-informed therapy, and somatic awareness — with a warm, relational style that honors the whole person. I work with mothers, mothers-to-be, and anyone navigating the emotional complexity of reproductive life.
I believe therapy should feel like a true partnership — a place where you can exhale, be real, and begin to heal.

THERAPY QUESTIONS
Questions You May Have
It's completely normal to have questions before reaching out. Here are honest answers to what clients ask most often.
MOST ASKED FIRST
How do I know if I have postpartum depression — or if what I'm feeling is just normal?
Postpartum depression can look different for every mother. Common signs include persistent sadness, difficulty bonding with your baby, fatigue beyond typical tiredness, withdrawing from loved ones, feeling like a bad mother, or intrusive thoughts. If any of these resonate — even a few weeks after birth — please reach out. You are not alone, and early support makes a real difference.
-
It varies depending on your goals. Some clients find significant relief in 8–12 sessions; others benefit from longer-term support. We regularly check in on your progress and adjust our work based on how you're feeling and what's most helpful.
-
No — I work with women at all stages. Whether you're currently pregnant, newly postpartum, or years out and still carrying unresolved experiences. I also support women navigating fertility journeys, PMDD, PCOS, and surrogacy. Reproductive mental health is broader than just the postpartum window.
-
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain process traumatic memories that feel "stuck." It's especially helpful for birth trauma, childhood trauma, or distressing experiences that continue to affect daily life. We'd discuss whether it's a good fit together during our early sessions.
-
I am in-network with select insurance providers and also offer self-pay rates. I can provide a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement. Visit the Consult & Payment page or reach out directly to discuss your specific coverage and options.
-
Sessions take place over a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform accessible from any device. You'll receive a private link before each 50-minute session and can join from anywhere in California — your home, your car, wherever feels comfortable.
-
The first session is an intake — a time to get to know each other, explore what's bringing you to therapy, and begin outlining your goals. There's no pressure to share everything at once. We move at your pace and the goal is for you to feel safe and heard.
