Motherhood Wasn't Supposed to Feel Like This
If you're overwhelmed, anxious, or just not feeling like yourself — you're not broken. You're carrying more than anyone should carry alone. Specialized postpartum therapy can help you feel like you again.
This is how it shows up:
You wake up anxious before the baby even cries
You're going through the motions, but you don't feel present
You snap at your partner and then feel guilty about it for hours
You keep thinking 'I should be happier than this'
If this pattern keeps going, nothing changes. But it doesn't have to stay this way.
No prep needed. Just 15 minutes to see if this feels right.
Is This You?
You're not failing. You're navigating one of the biggest transitions of your life. These feelings are real, they're valid, and most importantly — they're treatable.
"I feel anxious all the time, completely unlike myself, and I don't know if I'll ever feel normal again"
"I'm carrying the mental load for everyone — managing everything, remembering everything — and nobody even sees it"
"I feel guilty for not 'loving every moment' like I thought I would, and ashamed that I'm struggling when I should be grateful"
"I have scary thoughts that pop into my head and I don't know if they mean something's wrong with me"
"I don't know if what I'm feeling is just normal new mom stress or if I actually need help"
Motherhood is overwhelming. Our job is to make sure you don't have to carry it alone.
Why Austin Moms Work With Bloom
Perinatal & Postpartum Specialization
This is all we do. We only treat maternal mental health, so you're working with someone who deeply understands pregnancy, postpartum, and the transformation into motherhood — not a generalist who sees you once a month between other patients.
Trauma-Informed, Evidence-Based Care
We use proven therapy approaches like CBT (changing thought patterns), somatic work (calming your nervous system), and trauma-focused techniques — tailored specifically to the unique needs of the postpartum period.
Convenient North Austin Location
Our office is easy to reach near The Domain with flexible scheduling that actually fits into your life. Choose in-person sessions when you need face-to-face support, or virtual sessions when leaving the house feels impossible.
Partner-Inclusive Support
Your partner can join sessions, and we offer couples therapy designed specifically for navigating the relationship shifts that come with a baby. Many clients do a mix of individual and couples work.
Simple, Supportive, Specialized
How Therapy Works
Have a Conversation
A free 15-minute call to talk about what you're going through. No pressure, no prep — just a chance to see if this feels supportive.
Share Your Story
Your first session is 90 minutes of unhurried space to be heard. We'll talk about what brought you here and what would help most — no judgment, just support.
Start Feeling Like You Again
Weekly sessions with tools you can actually use. In-person or virtual, whatever works for your life right now.
We move at your pace — never overwhelming, always supportive.

Specialized Care for Every Stage
Who We Help
Pregnancy & Prenatal Anxiety/Depression
The worry, the fears about something going wrong, the unexpected grief or disconnection you're feeling even before baby arrives. You're not supposed to just "push through" this alone.
Postpartum Depression, Anxiety, OCD, & Rage
The heaviness that won't lift, the constant worry you can't turn off, the repetitive thoughts that won't stop, the anger that scares you. These are treatable conditions, not character flaws.
Birth Trauma, NICU, & Complicated Pregnancies
When birth didn't go the way you hoped, when your baby spent time in the NICU, when medical complications turned everything upside down. Processing these experiences is necessary, not self-indulgent.
Identity Shifts, Relationship Stress, & Intrusive Thoughts
Wondering who you are now that you're a mom, feeling disconnected from your partner, or experiencing scary intrusive thoughts. Making sense of these changes is part of healing, not something you should ignore.
What Austin Moms Are Saying
Real reviews from our Google Business Profile
I just finished the postpartum course, and it was such a valuable resource. As a new mom, I've had so many moments of wondering what's "normal" and feeling like I was the only one struggling. This course helped me understand what's actually common in postpartum, gave language to what I was feeling, and made me feel genuinely seen and supported.

Dr. Rundle has been such a tremendous help to me through pregnancy, postpartum, and now motherhood. She provides a safe, understanding space where I always feel heard, and she offers thoughtful guidance along with practical recommendations that truly make a difference. Her expertise in maternal mental health is clear, but what stands out most is her compassion and ability to connect.

Dr. Rundle is an outstanding clinician- warm, empathic, competent and exceptionally knowledgeable in maternal mental health from both her personal experiences and professional training. She has been instrumental in my peri and postpartum wellbeing and I cannot recommend her services more. If you need support (and let's be real, who doesn't!), don't think twice about scheduling a consultation and prioritizing this time in your life!
