Online therapy · California, Colorado & Florida
Online Postpartum &
Perinatal Therapy
You can love your baby
and still need care yourself.
Maybe your mind won’t settle, your emotions feel unfamiliar, or you miss feeling like you. You’re caring for everyone else while quietly wondering who’s taking care of you.
I offer online postpartum and perinatal therapy in California, Colorado, and Florida. There’s room here for the parts of pregnancy and motherhood that are hard to say out loud.

Care for you, too
When it feels hard to explain
You haven’t felt
like yourself.
You don’t need to identify exactly what’s happening before reaching out. We can make sense of it together.
- Checking, researching, or asking for reassurance—and still feeling worried.
- Troubled by unwanted thoughts you’re afraid to share.
- Feeling tearful, disconnected, irritable, or easily overstimulated.
- Struggling to rest, even when you have the chance.
- Missing your independence or feeling unsure of who you are now.
- Feeling guilty for needing space, help, or something of your own.
Pregnancy & the transition ahead
Support can begin
before your baby arrives.
Pregnancy can bring its own uncertainty: appointments, changing relationships, worries about birth, and questions about how life will change.
After infertility or loss, hope may sit alongside fear. Even in a wanted pregnancy, you may feel anxious, disconnected, or overwhelmed.
You deserve space to talk about your experience as it is.
Our work together
A place to understand
what you’re carrying.
Together, we’ll explore what feels hardest and what support could look like in your daily life.
We’ll set goals together and move at a pace that respects your circumstances and capacity.
- Understanding anxiety and how you respond to unwanted thoughts.
- Making room for grief, disappointment, or a difficult birth experience.
- Working through guilt, perfectionism, and pressure to get everything right.
- Navigating resentment, relationship changes, and asking for help.
- Reconnecting with your needs, confidence, and identity.
Susan Hea Jin Ko, LMFT · Therapist & mom
Why this work
matters to me.
I’m Susan, a licensed marriage and family therapist, a mom, and someone who has experienced my own postpartum mental health challenges.
That experience informs the care I bring, while leaving room for your story to be different from mine. You don’t have to make motherhood sound easier—or harder—than it feels.
Advanced perinatal mental health training through Postpartum Support International. Currently pursuing Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C).

Questions about postpartum therapy
A little clarity before you reach out.
Do you offer online postpartum anxiety therapy?
Yes. I work with adults navigating postpartum anxiety, persistent worry, unwanted thoughts, guilt, and the emotional adjustment to parenting. We can talk about what you are experiencing and whether my approach is a good fit. You do not need a diagnosis before scheduling a consultation.
Can I start during pregnancy, or after the newborn stage?
You can reach out during pregnancy or later in motherhood. The transition to parenthood does not follow one timeline. Returning to work, changes in relationships, and feeling disconnected from yourself can also be reasons to seek support.
Where can I attend sessions?
Sessions are online for adults physically located in California, Colorado, or Florida at the time of the appointment. I am licensed in California (132261) and Colorado (MFT.0002980), and registered as an out-of-state telehealth provider in Florida (TPMF1569). Please tell me about travel or a move so we can check whether ongoing sessions are possible.
What are the fees and insurance options?
Individual therapy is $180 for a 50-minute session. New private-pay clients are welcome. Insurance billing is handled through Headway. I accept Aetna, United Healthcare/Optum/Oscar, and Providence Health Plan in California, Colorado, and Florida, plus Carelon Behavioral Health in Florida. Anthem is California only and currently waitlisted. See insurance plans by state and confirm benefits for your specific plan before your first appointment. See fees, reduced-fee options, and superbills.
What happens during the free consultation?
We will spend about 15 minutes by phone talking about what brings you here, what you want from therapy, and practical questions about availability and payment. You can ask questions and decide whether you would like to take the next step.
