The Sad Moms Club
A podcast to connect Utah women--especially those who are infertile, pregnant, or postpartum--to the local maternal mental health resources available. I interview providers around Utah to help bring therapy tips and coping skills conveniently to your ear-holes.

6. Baby Blues, Postpartum Depression, and Postpartum Anxiety Diagnoses with Ashley Henderson, LCSW
I talk with Ashley Henderson who is an ownership partner and clinician with Reach Counseling in South Jordan and Salt Lake City, UT (though they, like most places now, offer virtual therapy). We discuss the difference between baby blues and postpartum depression as well as what you might be experiencing if you have postpartum anxiety.
