Is therapy for Postpartum only for new moms?

Question 3

Are there therapists with evening or flexible hours for new parents?

Do I need medication for Postpartum Depression, or just therapy?

On Alma, filter clinicians in Santa Clarita who offer medication management or therapists who support Postpartum mental health.
