What is Postpartum Depression & Maternal Mental Health?
Trauma Recovery is a specialized process designed to help individuals heal from the psychological and emotional wounds caused by traumatic experiences. For the postpartum mother, trauma recovery focuses on how unresolved trauma can impact the onset of maternal mental health diagnoses (such as postpartum depression and anxiety), parenting strategies, thought patterns, and unhealthy behaviors.
Motherhood brings immense joy and fulfillment; however it can also introduce a range of subtle and well-known struggles that can challenge even
the most prepared women. New mothers often grapple with sleep deprivation, the relentless demands of caring for an infant, and the societal
pressures to meet idealized standards of parenting. These challenges can be significantly exacerbated by unresolved trauma from the past. Traumatic experiences can resurface in the postpartum period, manifesting as heightened anxiety, depression, or intrusive thoughts, making it
difficult for a mother to bond with her baby or feel competent in her new role. The constant demands of motherhood can trigger unresolved issues
thus amplifying feelings of vulnerability and inadequacy.
Empress Evolve’s unique model, NeuroEvolving, is designed to help clients reduce stress levels and alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression. Our comprehensive approach equips clients with the skills needed to manage self-image, enhance communication skills, and create a more balanced lifestyle.

Dr. Taylor J. Bryant,

Hello Momma and welcome to my page! My name is Dr. Taylor Bryant, and I am a trauma recovery coach with a passion for healing the Postpartum mother. I am a proud mother of a beautiful son, born in 2022, who is curious, talkative, extroverted, and tenacious. Like many of you, my husband and I meticulously planned for the birth of our son, something we had dreamed of since the beginning of our relationship. However, what I did not anticipate was developing Postpartum Depression (PPD). Despite having all the markers for a healthy postpartum journey, I found myself grappling with resentment, anger, and profound grief over the loss of my previous life. As someone who had always been a positive, glass-half-full person, these feelings were a clear signal that something was wrong.
My own experience with Postpartum Depression and anxiety ignited a deep passion for perinatal mental health and a commitment to healing other mothers from postpartum illnesses. Recognizing the widespread neglect of mothers in this critical period, I dedicated myself to creating a supportive space and services that empower mothers to regain control of their lives and achieve mental clarity. My Educational and Professional Journey My educational journey began in 2009 in the field of forensic psychology, with a focus on the intersections of crime, law, and psychology. I earned my master’s degree from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology and completed my PhD in Forensic Psychology, with a specialization in the impacts of childhood trauma on female sex offenders. Throughout my career, I have treated hundreds of women suffering from PTSD, Postpartum Depression, and various other mental health conditions, helping them break free from the chains of their circumstances. My Mission and Passion My mission is to help women worldwide heal from perinatal mental illnesses and rediscover themselves. Having personally experienced Postpartum Depression, I deeply understand the challenges faced by postpartum mothers and their quest to feel whole again. I am dedicated to spreading awareness about perinatal and postpartum mental health and the significant impact unresolved trauma can have on parenthood. I have shared my insights through appearances on podcasts and at conferences focused on perinatal mental health.

Since I started my session with Taylor, I have made tremendous progress in my ability to deal with my trauma. We have talked and worked on things from my beliefs and my childhood to a serious car accident I was involved with. I'm asked at the beginning of our meeting about the best thing of my week. One of my answers is looking forward to our meeting. I believe Taylor is truly working in her gift. She has been professional a hundred times over and she finds a way to make us laugh and heal. I'm sure the rest of the Empress Evolve team is as excellent as Taylor. The people they touch will have positive changes in their lives. When I'm asked how I deal with things, or who do talk too, I tell them I do the 3T…Talk To Taylor! - Baneo S.
I highly recommend Taylor at Empress Evolve. She has been a great help in assisting me with my healing journey. She has given me tools to effectively help with communication and setting boundaries. Because of her, I am now able to build healthier relationships. - Daisha M.
Taylor was a godsend! I had a lot of difficulties transitioning from a ‘single life’ to now having to care for my daughter. I really struggled with anxiety and honestly thought I was doing everything wrong. Taylor helped me see that I am doing what is best for me and my new family and helped me realize that I deserve to help myself too. I experienced trauma as a kid and didn’t know just how much it was showing up in how I dealt with my daughter and viewed myself. I would recommend Taylor to any mom out there who wants better for herself! - Breonna R.
