Postpartum anxiety
Anxiety can begin during pregnancy or anytime in the first year.
Therapy for pregnancy and the first year
A private hour for you.
I'm Olivia Lebow, LCSW, a postpartum therapist, mom, and founder of LA New Mamas. I see clients in Los Angeles and virtually across California.
Why I started LA New Mamas
I built what I needed as a new mom.
Before motherhood, I thought I understood it. Then I lived the questions, identity shifts, and loneliness that can happen while you are rarely alone.
I started LA New Mamas to create what I needed: a place to meet other moms, build real friendships, and share useful support.
I was a therapist before I became a mom. Motherhood taught me what no textbook could. Community can hold a lot, but some things need a private room. That is why my practice focuses on pregnancy and the first year after birth.
Why the first year
Support should not end when check-ins fade.
After the fourth trimester, check-ins and help often fade. Anxiety and other perinatal mental-health concerns can still appear during the first year. It is never too late to ask for support.
What I help with
Name what you've been carrying.
You do not need the perfect words.
Intrusive thoughts
Scary, unwanted thoughts that are hard to say aloud.
Postpartum depression
When you feel distant from yourself or your life.
Identity & matrescence
Finding yourself inside a changed identity.
Relationship changes
Breaking patterns and feeling heard again.

Make an emotional plan before birth.
Birth stories & grief
Process what happened when reality felt different.
