In today's episode, I'm sitting down with the licensed clinical psychologist, who specializes in perinatal mental health, and is a Mom herself.Jessica opens up about what drove her into this line of work, what new Moms should look for when selecting a therapist to work with, and what qualifies as "needing" help - spoiler - you need it if you want it, regardless of what your symptoms say.
