“Guest Interview – Mallika Bush on birth trauma and postpartum depression” 
In this episode of The Modern Mamas Podcast we are talking to Mallika Bush all about birth trauma and postpartum depression. While this is a bit of a heavier topic, it’s one that is so important and so often overlooked. This episode is not to be missed!
Mallika is passionate about supporting women who are struggling with fertility, pregnancy and postpartum. She is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California, as well as a trained RIE Intern and a member of Postpartum Support International. Mallika has a private psychotherapy practice in Berkeley and San Francisco specializing in Maternal Mental Health and perinatal mood disorders. She sees individuals and couples in her therapy practice, as well as facilitates mothers support groups, parenting discussions and parent-infant classes called Mindful Babies. In her life journey to becoming a therapist, Mallika has studied theater, performing arts, religion, yoga, meditation, and nutrition! She is also a mom of two young ones and has been with her partner for over 13 years. She likes to say that her work is just about learning to be a human in the presence of another human.
