No pre-determined pattern to follow. This realization can be both liberating and daunting. Let’s work through this together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/634388ae5de72264de908471/4f0f6791-fa73-4e9a-a9dc-5cfebc897097/postpartum-anxiety-therapist-postpartum-counceling-columbus-ohio Services - Therapy with me During our first session, our time is dedicated to diving deep into what you are looking for, what has brought you to therapy with me, and setting goals for our work together. This first session generally feels different than it will moving forward, with more of a focus on information gathering. I want to make sure that I have a good snapshot of your concerns as a starting point for where we will focus our energy in the sessions to come. All sessions with me are 50 minutes in length, and payment is processed at the end of your session through my secure portal (Simple Practice). As a therapist I value collaboration, building an open and trusting relationship, and holding space for whatever it is that you may bring to therapy on any given day. We will set goals and have direction, but I also want you to know that your time with me is yours, and life sure doesn’t happen in a predictable way. Bring on the curveballs. Vent to high heaven if it is what you need. I’m here for you. We all need a space that is safe and accepting to figure things out and I genuinely want to provide that for you. You will learn quickly as you get to know me as your therapist that all emotions, expletives, experiences, and opinions are welcome. There may be (more than likely will be) tears, there is always space for laughter, I will share in your joy, and I will hold space for your pain. You may be coming to me as one of my masters of masquerade (“Everything is great! It’s fine! I’m fine! I love this life! I’ve never been happier!”). Sessions with me are a place to let your guard down, table the mask for a period of time. It will naturally take time to get there and feel comfortable doing so. I am a stranger after all. But I can tell you that I see you, I am here for you, and this is a space that you can trust. https://www.sonder-psych.com/home daily 1.0 2024-11-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/634388ae5de72264de908471/48b2396e-c3a6-4316-9205-0a35554d0ecb/Postpartum+Anxiety+Therapist+%7C+Perinatal+Mental+Health+%7C+Postpartum+Therapy+%7C+Postpartum+Counseling+%7C+43065+%7C+43215+%7C+44107 Home - Hi, I’m Sarah O’Donnell LISW, PMH-C. A therapist, a mom of two, and a book lover to the core I am so happy that you are here, and am proud of you for taking this step in looking for support. Motherhood - and the journey to it - can be an unexpected masterclass in vulnerability and the unknown, but you are not alone.

I brought my son into this world about a month before the pandemic took hold. Both related to and completely separate from this, I have had my own experiences and growth in my relationship to control, uncertainty, fear, and the eternal quest for balance. I work with women and mothers who find themselves navigating experiences and emotions that they did not expect, and reclaiming their power, their center, and their confidence along the way. Throughout my years as a therapist, I have found that I speak the language of anxiety and speak it well, allowing me to meet my clients right where they are and provide quality care that is uniquely tailored to their needs. I am trained and certified by Postpartum Support International as a Certified Perinatal Mental Health Clinician, and am listed in their provider directory of specialists in this area. I am also a member of the Ohio Collaborative for Perinatal Mental Health which works in conjunction with the POEM (Perinatal Outreach and Encouragement for Moms) Program of Mental Health America Ohio. This work is extremely important to me. I want you to feel found and held during a time that can feel so tumultuous. Although I focus my work on perinatal anxiety, other areas of maternal mental health including perinatal depression, grief and loss, and trauma during pregnancy/birth/postpartum are frequent players in my sessions. Take a look at my services page for more examples of what may be addressed in therapy with me. A little about me when I am not wearing my therapist hat…I’m pretty certain that my hands are meant to be holding a worn-in book of fiction that smells like heaven and a moderately hot cup of coffee. This happens about biweekly at this season in my life, and I celebrate it hard when it does. I am a collector of candles with a common theme of patchouli and houseplants labeled as “easy to care for” (I will tell you to lean in to what brings you joy, and these are small ways that I practice that). Music is a life line for me in the forms of musical theatre, classic rock, and anything that YoYo Ma has ever played in his precious life (his masterpieces were blaring during the births of both of my kids). I feel most like myself when wearing a smile (Sarah circa 1998 exclaimed, claimed, and celebrated this through the highly original AIM screenname of smileysarah…yikes) but I have learned over time to not use this as my own mask and armor to hide behind. https://www.sonder-psych.com/legal daily 0.75 2022-12-14 https://www.sonder-psych.com/referrals daily 0.75 2025-07-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/634388ae5de72264de908471/fe483667-c10b-4576-b041-9f46ec70d3f0/pexels-nati-87264186-12420415.jpg Referrals - Referral options Please see below for local (and telehealth) providers that I know, trust, and have specialization in perinatal mental health.
