Anew Therapy, PLLC
Angela Jensen-Ramirez, LCSW
Postpartum & Perinatal
You Are Not Alone
The birth of a child is a life-altering experience—beautiful, exhausting, and often overwhelming. Many couples find themselves feeling emotionally distant or disconnected from each other in the weeks and months that follow.
Changes in routine, identity, sleep, and roles can strain even the strongest relationships, and intimacy often takes a back seat. As a couples therapist, I’m here to help you and your partner find your way back to each other.
Through compassionate, attachment-focused therapy, I support couples in exploring these shifts, rebuilding emotional closeness, and gently reawakening intimacy at a pace that feels right for you both. You don’t have to navigate this chapter alone—healing and connection are possible.

Angela has been working extensively with a focus in perinatal and postpartum relational health for over a decade and can help you to strengthen the bond of your relationship and find each other anew.

What To Expect with Individual Therapy
Postpartum and perinatal therapy is often short term (average 6 months) or until your symptoms feel like they are more in your control. Together, we will focus first on a wellness plan to assist you in structuring essential foundational needs such as sleep, exercise, nutrition, and support systems. Postpartum therapy can be supplemented by, or in addition to, medication. Anew therapy is skilled at assisting you to explore your treatment options and choose the right course for you. Through the clinical interventions of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Skills, together we will change negative thoughts, spirals, and eruptions into a more healthy balance of calmness and clarity. You deserve the experience of loving your baby and every moment of her coo's, cuddles, and cries.
