Online Postpartum Therapy in Savannah, GA
Does this sound familiar?
“I love my baby, so why do I feel like this?”
“My mind won’t stop racing, even when the baby is finally asleep.”
“I’m snapping at everyone, and I don’t recognize myself.”
“I keep having scary thoughts I would never act on, and they terrify me.”
“Everyone else seems to have this figured out except me.”
If any of this feels true, you’re not alone, and you’re not failing. Postpartum depression, anxiety, and intrusive thoughts are common and very treatable. You deserve support.
How I can help
I’m a Perinatal Mental Health Certified therapist (PMH-C), which means I have specialized training in the emotional side of pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood. I help with:
Postpartum depression and anxiety
Postpartum OCD and intrusive thoughts
Birth trauma, including EMDR therapy to help difficult birth memories lose their grip
Pregnancy and prenatal anxiety
Infertility and pregnancy loss
The identity shift of becoming a parent, and the strain it can put on relationships
Support for dads and partners, who struggle too
About me
I’m Danielle Van Wagenen, LCSW, PMH-C, and I’m trained in EMDR. I’m also a mom of three and an Army spouse, so I know firsthand how heavy this season can feel, especially when family is far away or a partner is gone.
My approach is warm, practical, and real. We’ll work on easing your symptoms and on building tools you can actually use on four hours of sleep.
Therapy that fits your life
Sessions are held over secure video, so you don’t have to drive anywhere or arrange childcare. Babies are always welcome on screen. I see clients across Georgia, South Carolina, Florida, and Virginia.
Serving clients in: Savannah, Richmond Hill, Pooler, Hinesville and Fort Stewart, Tybee Island, Brunswick, all of Georgia, plus Bluffton, Hilton Head, and Beaufort, South Carolina, Florida, and Virginia.
Frequently asked questions
Is it the “baby blues” or something more?
The baby blues usually fade within about two weeks after birth. If you’re still struggling after that, or your feelings are intense at any point, it’s worth talking to someone.
Do I need a diagnosis to start therapy?
No. You can reach out simply because things feel hard. We’ll figure out together what’s going on and what will help.
Can I bring my baby to sessions?
Yes! Feeding, rocking, and pausing are all welcome.
Does insurance cover postpartum therapy?
In most cases, yes. I’ll check your coverage before we begin.
What if I’m still pregnant?
I work with clients during pregnancy too. Getting support before the baby arrives can make a real difference.
You don’t have to wait until it gets worse.
