Hi,

I'm Katie Joseph, founder of Thea Postpartum Therapy. Motherhood has a way of asking you to reexamine everything you thought you knew about yourself — but wholeness doesn't leave you, even when it's hard to feel. I believe you already have what you need to find your way back to it.

As a mom and perinatal therapist with six years experience, I’m with you on the path there.

What’s in a name

Every name carries a story, and Thea’s does too.

Thea comes from the Greek word for goddess — a fitting root for a practice built around motherhood, which asks women to hold beauty and struggle at once, often within the same hour of the same day.

The name is also personal. It's drawn from Dorothea, my grandmother, who suffered at times debilitating postpartum anxiety at a time when there was little language for what she was going through, and even less support. She didn't have a Thea. I wanted to build one for the mothers who came after her.

The name holds both truths at once: the universal — motherhood in all its complexity, shared across generations — and the deeply personal, one woman's experience that shaped mine. Whatever you're carrying right now, you're not the first, and you don't have to carry it alone.
