I'm thrilled to introduce you all to Christy Weber, the founder of Louisville, Kentucky-based Bloom Counseling + Wellness Studio at bloomlouisville.com/and its online motherhood-exclusive division modernmomonline.com/. Christy specializes in pregnancy and postpartum mood disorders including postpartum depression, anxiety, and OCD, as well as helping new moms and dads adjust to parenthood. She also works with clients struggling with relationship conflicts, domestic violence, adoption/fostering issues, and infertility. Christy uses an eclectic approach when working with clients, combining components from client-centered, solution-focused, and cognitive behavioral therapies. She considers the client/therapist relationship as one of the most important elements in therapy and when the client is engaged in therapy with a trusting, compassionate therapist, the opportunity for change and growth is tremendous. A Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, Christy earned her master's degree in Counseling from DePaul University in Chicago. She is doing amazing work and we had a candid and ultra-informative conversation as I opened up about my own personal struggles with breast-feeding, infertility, adoption, and hormonal issues. And to boot, it was so hard for me as a Catholic seeing friends and other family members have multiple children, and felt my precious son was going to be a doomed as an only child (which is SO NOT TRUE). I was devastated at the time - he's now 14 - felt like a failure and to be perfectly honest, I haven’t really spoken much about that, but I wonder sometimes if one of the reasons I have struggled with depression and mental illness is because of pregnancy. So, Christy and I really took our discussion on a next-level basis, and I know whether you're single, partnered, are considering having children or have already, you'll be fascinated by her approach. Look for her and her various specialties on social media at facebook.com/BloomLouisville, facebook.com/modernmomonline, instagram.com/bloom_counseling/ instagram.com/modernmomonline/ and youtube.com/channel/UCeOgdccCiZK1QczmNTxdO_A. Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving!
