Postpartum Therapy
With Natalie Saada, LMHC,
and Cushion Mental Health
I’m a therapist and a mom myself, so I know that having a baby can bring incredible love, joy, and meaning while also asking more of you than you ever imagined.
Do you find yourself wondering why this feels so much harder than you expected?
Do you spend so much time worrying about your baby that it feels impossible to fully relax?
Do you wish you could enjoy this season more but instead feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally exhausted?
The postpartum period can be beautiful, but it can also feel relentless. Between the sleepless nights, the endless decisions, the pressure to do everything "right," and the changes in your identity and relationships, it’s easy to wonder why this feels so much harder than you expected.
The postpartum period can be incredibly meaningful, but it can also be incredibly hard. My therapy gets you calmer, clearer, and more connected to yourself again.
Moms Come To Me When They’re:
Feeling overwhelmed
Emotionally exhausted
Constantly anxious
Overthinking everything
Snapping at loved ones
Missing the joy they expected to feel
Feeling unlike themselves
“You do not have to choose between caring for your baby and caring for yourself. Both matter.”
How Our Postpartum Therapy Works
My approach to therapy is collaborative, insightful, practical, and person-centered. I want therapy to feel like you can finally exhale. Some days you may need tools and structure. Other days you may need space to vent without judgment.
Clients call me “warm, thoughtful, and collaborative.”
I pay attention to the small details because those details often reveal the patterns you have been too overwhelmed to notice on your own. Together, we’ll look at what’s keeping you stuck, help you respond differently, and change what’s not working.
Modalities I Use
-
Helps identify anxious thoughts, self-criticism, and perfectionism so you can respond with more balance and less spiraling.
-
Helps you make room for hard emotions without letting them control your day or your relationships.
-
Helps process painful experiences and emotional triggers that keep your nervous system stuck in survival mode.
-
Helps you focus on clear, realistic changes that improve day-to-day life.
-
Gives structure, accountability, and direction when life feels chaotic or overwhelming.
“You do not have to hold it all together here.”

About Me
👋🏼 Hi, I’m Natalie.
My therapy is designed for women navigating anxiety, overwhelm, identity shifts, and emotional pressure during pregnancy and early motherhood. I combine evidence-based therapy with genuine understanding of how intense this season of life can feel.
I understand both high-pressure work environments and the emotional transition into motherhood.
Before becoming a therapist, I earned a Master’s degree in Organizational Psychology from Columbia University and worked in Human Resources, experiences that continue shaping how I support women today.
I understand the pressure women feel to keep performing, keep managing, and keep holding everything together, especially during the transition into motherhood.
Outside of therapy, you can find me at a concert with my husband, spending time in the park with my little one, or planning my next beach trip.
Availability: I provide therapy via telehealth throughout New York and New Jersey.
