Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Specializing in Maternal Mental Health
Postpartum depression (PPD) and postpartum anxiety (PPA) are common but serious mental health conditions that affect many new moms in Austin and across the United States. Unlike the "baby blues," which typically resolve within a couple of weeks, postpartum depression and anxiety persist and can significantly impact your ability to care for yourself and your baby.
Postpartum anxiety often co-occurs with postpartum depression and can manifest as excessive worry, racing thoughts, difficulty sleeping even when the baby is sleeping, physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat or nausea, and intrusive thoughts about something bad happening to your baby. If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, know that you're not alone, and effective treatment is available right here in Austin.
Beyond general postpartum depression and anxiety, we provide specialized treatment for conditions that are often misunderstood or under-discussed:
Graphic, unwanted thoughts about harming your baby? Constant checking and compulsive behaviors? You need specialized ERP therapy.
Learn MoreExplosive anger that scares you? Rage episodes that feel out of control? Learn about evidence-based treatment.
Learn MoreDisturbing thoughts about harming your baby? You're not dangerous—you're experiencing postpartum OCD. Get specialized help.
Learn MoreThese conditions require specialized treatment approaches beyond general therapy. Dr. Rundle is trained in evidence-based interventions specifically designed for these maternal mental health challenges.
We use proven therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), and mindfulness-based interventions specifically adapted for postpartum mental health.
Dr. Rundle understands the unique challenges of motherhood firsthand. Our approach is non-judgmental, supportive, and focused on helping you feel like yourself again while strengthening your bond with your baby.
Every mom's experience is unique. We create individualized treatment plans tailored to your specific symptoms, circumstances, and goals, ensuring you receive the most effective care.
We begin with a comprehensive evaluation to understand your symptoms, medical history, and personal circumstances. This helps us create a personalized treatment plan.
Most moms attend weekly 50-minute sessions, either in our Austin office or virtually from the comfort of home. During sessions, we work together to develop coping strategies and address underlying issues.
We regularly assess your progress and adjust the treatment approach as needed. Many moms see significant improvement within 8-12 weeks, though the exact timeline varies.
Our goal is not just symptom relief, but lasting wellness. We help you develop skills and strategies you can use throughout motherhood and beyond.
Jana Rundle Psychology provides in-person postpartum therapy at our Austin office and virtual therapy throughout Texas. We proudly serve moms in the following Austin-area communities:
Postpartum depression (PPD) is characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, difficulty bonding with your baby, changes in sleep or appetite, and loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed. If these symptoms last more than two weeks and interfere with your daily functioning, it's important to seek professional help. Dr. Rundle can provide a comprehensive assessment and personalized treatment plan.
You should seek postpartum therapy if you're experiencing symptoms of postpartum depression or anxiety that last more than two weeks, have thoughts of harming yourself or your baby, feel disconnected from your baby, or find it difficult to perform daily tasks. The sooner you seek help, the better the outcomes tend to be.
