Emotional Health & Wellness Tips From The Therapy Couch And Other Places
Kimberly Seelbrede, LCSW, is a New York State licensed psychotherapist and women’s emotional health expert whose work weaves together the science of the mind, the biology of the brain, and the art of holistic integrative wellness. With nearly two decades of clinical experience, she helps women in midlife navigate the profound emotional, hormonal, and identity transitions that often surface during perimenopause and menopause. In addition, she works with couples to improve communication, strengthen emotional intimacy, and navigate changes in sexual health, relationship dynamics, and shared life stressors. She works with men who are experiencing personal and professional crises, life transitions, stress, mood changes, or relationship challenges. Her approach blends evidence-based psychotherapy with holistic mind-body interventions, including EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing® techniques, mindfulness, and lifestyle medicine — to address the full spectrum of emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing.

Postpartum Depression Therapy in NYC: Holistic Support for New Mothers in Manhattan
Becoming a mother in New York City is often idealized as a joyful milestone—but for many high-achieving women, the postpartum experience is layered with exhaustion, emotional overwhelm, and a deep sense of disorientation. You may look like you’re managing on the outside, but inside you’re navigating mood swings, persistent sadness, irritability, and a loss of connection to yourself. Insomnia, intrusive thoughts, and the pressure to “bounce back” can make even the simplest moments feel unmanageable. Postpartum depression is not a personal failure—it’s a physiological and emotional response that deserves expert, compassionate care.
At Holistic Therapy & Wellness New York, my boutique psychotherapy practice in Manhattan, I work closely with women facing postpartum depression, perinatal anxiety, and other hormone-related mental health challenges. Using a trauma-informed blend of EMDR, somatic therapy, and mind-body psychotherapy, I help you process the emotional toll of new motherhood, regulate your nervous system, and gently reconnect with a sense of stability, clarity, and self-worth. For many clients, therapy becomes a vital sanctuary—a place to speak honestly, feel supported, and heal without judgment.
In addition to emotional support, I provide holistic care integration, including referrals for functional medicine, hormonal assessments, and wellness practitioners when needed. Whether you're a new mother battling insomnia and emotional fatigue, or a professional woman experiencing the destabilizing effects of hormonal shifts, you don’t have to figure this out alone. With the right therapeutic support, healing is possible—and you can begin to feel like yourself again.
