New parents across Palm Beach County reach Olympic Behavioral Health's postpartum depression counseling center at 3618 Lantana Road in Lantana, Florida, 12 miles south of West Palm Beach.
Postpartum depression is a depressive episode that begins in the year after a birth, not only in the first weeks.
Our DCF-licensed, JCAHO-accredited postpartum depression program treats new parents at PHP, IOP or OP. Nobody stays overnight and nobody is separated from a baby. On-site psychiatry and group work with other parents run on a schedule that assumes a baby is at home.
If you or someone you love is in danger right now, call or text 988. That line answers at any hour.

What Gets Treated
Postpartum depression counseling is outpatient treatment for depression that begins after a birth, run at three levels of care. Olympic Behavioral Health admits at any point in the first year, and treats postpartum depression as depression carrying its own set of pressures.
The postpartum version brings its own weight: no sleep, no time alone, and a strong sense that saying any of it out loud makes you a bad parent. Delayed bonding belongs on that list too.
Outpatient postpartum depression treatment at Olympic Behavioral Health runs at three levels in Lantana, with individual therapy, group work and medication review on site.
Postpartum depression sits inside the wider depression treatment program, and the diagnosis is confirmed before anything is planned.
Everyone is told to expect sadness. Plenty of people get something else entirely and decide that means it is not postpartum depression. Sadness is on this list, and it is not first.
Rage
Detail appears here.
Treatment note appears here.
Nothing here is scored and nothing here is a diagnosis. It names what people describe in a first appointment. If you are having thoughts of harming yourself or your baby, or you feel confused or unlike yourself in a way that frightens the people around you, call or text 988 or go to an emergency room now.
When to Get Help
Olympic Behavioral Health treats rage, numbness and intrusive thoughts as presentations of postpartum depression, not as separate problems for a new parent to solve alone. The Florida Department of Health tells a parent whose symptoms last longer than two weeks to contact a provider. A parent who arrives without tears is not arriving without postpartum depression.
Florida PRAMS, published by the Florida Department of Health for 2022, reports depressive symptoms after giving birth in 11.9 percent of Florida mothers, and counseling for those symptoms reaching only 56.1 percent. Five things bring a parent to the phone. Olympic Behavioral Health takes calls from adults who:
Ask What Postpartum Treatment Looks Like
A phone assessment costs nothing and takes about 30 minutes. You can do it with the baby in the room.
What to Expect
Postpartum depression therapy is scheduled around feeding and sleep. Group runs seven days a week at partial hospitalization, six mornings at intensive outpatient and one morning at outpatient, and every level carries weekly individual therapy of 50 minutes to 1 hour.
The first postpartum sessions work on sleep, on what the day actually contains, and on who else can hold the baby for two hours. Group runs on the mental health track, and hearing another parent describe the same week is the point at which someone stops apologizing for being there.
Levels of Care
Outpatient asks the least of a parent without daytime childcare, at four hours a week. Olympic Behavioral Health does not provide childcare, and each level below is set out against what it asks of a parent with a newborn at home.
| Level of Care | Hours per Week | Schedule | Clinical Content | Realistic With a Newborn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PHP, Partial Hospitalization | 30+ hours | Seven days. Weekdays 9 AM to 3:30 PM, weekends 10 AM to 1 PM | Daily groups, individual sessions, psychiatric review, family therapy | Only with full-time care at home |
| IOP, Intensive Outpatient | 9 to 12 hours | Monday to Saturday, 9 AM to 12 PM | Morning groups, weekly individual therapy, medication management | Workable with a partner or relative on mornings |
| OP, Outpatient Postpartum Counseling | 4 hours | One 3-hour group each week | Group work, coping skills, relapse prevention | A realistic entry point without daytime cover |
Outpatient is where a parent with no daytime cover can realistically start, and that is a clinical answer rather than a consolation. Three hours a week that actually happen beat thirty hours that collapse in the second week. Olympic Behavioral Health raises the level once practical support is in place.
Call While the Baby Is Asleep
Same-day admission at Olympic Behavioral Health is available when admission criteria are met, with next-day admission as the alternative.
Evidence-Based Therapies
Olympic Behavioral Health uses six methods for postpartum depression. These are cognitive behavioral therapy, DBT skills training, group therapy, family therapy, structured work on sleep and routine, and medication management on site, each applied to a year with no spare hours in it.
CBT works on the verdicts a tired parent reaches at 4 AM about the kind of parent they are.
Distress tolerance is the skill that covers the ten minutes when the anger arrives and the baby will not settle.
Group runs daily on the mental health track. Group is the fastest route out of believing you are the only parent this happened to.
Partners do not know what to do. Family sessions run weekly as needed, with a relatives meeting on Monday evenings.
Sleep is treated as clinical material. Protecting sleep is what makes mood, appetite and tolerance for the day move at all.
A certified family nurse practitioner reviews medication on site, with psychiatrist referrals available. Breastfeeding is raised at intake.
Olympic Behavioral Health names no postpartum depression medication on this page, because prescribing follows the psychiatric evaluation.
Conditions Treated
Four postpartum presentations are named separately at intake rather than filed together under low mood. These are postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, postpartum OCD and postpartum rage.
Constant checking, a racing mind and a body that will not stand down. Postpartum anxiety runs alongside postpartum depression and also arrives on its own.
Postpartum OCD brings intrusive thoughts and the rituals built to neutralize them. The thoughts are unwanted, which is precisely what makes them so distressing.
Anger that arrives faster and larger than the moment deserves. Postpartum rage is a recognized presentation of postpartum depression rather than a separate diagnosis.
Where low mood predates the pregnancy, the plan treats the longer history rather than only the last few months.
Olympic Behavioral Health treats adults only and provides no obstetric or pregnancy care. Where alcohol or another substance has become part of the coping, the dual diagnosis track carries both conditions.
Insurance and Cost
What postpartum depression counseling costs depends on the plan, and Olympic Behavioral Health confirms the payable figure before admission rather than after the first month. Postpartum counseling is an outpatient behavioral health benefit, in-network with TRICARE and accepted on out-of-network PPO benefits.
A birth follows a year of medical claims, so the postpartum question is what remains on the deductible rather than the headline rate. Olympic Behavioral Health accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, UMR, GEHA, Humana and Anthem on out-of-network PPO benefits, and verifies postpartum benefits free.
INSURANCES WE ACCEPTTRICARE is the only in-network plan. Every other payer named is accepted on out-of-network PPO benefits. Olympic Behavioral Health does not accept Medicaid or Medicare.
Free and confidential. Olympic Behavioral Health admissions answers Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM.

Why Olympic Behavioral Health
Olympic Behavioral Health answers all six on the first call, before a parent commits a morning of childcare to finding out. Each of the six below is part of how a postpartum plan actually runs.
Roughly 80 percent of Olympic Behavioral Health clients are treated for a mental health condition, not a substance use disorder. Postpartum groups run on the mental health track.
Psychiatric medication management is provided in-house, so a postpartum prescription does not wait on an outside referral.
This is outpatient care at every level. Clients go home the same day, which is the first question most callers are afraid to ask.
Postpartum rage and intrusive thoughts are asked about directly at intake, because clients rarely raise either one unprompted.
The primary therapist assigned at intake stays across all three levels, so the history is told once.
Postpartum depression is not restricted to whoever gave birth. Adults of any gender are admitted.
Admissions
Admission runs in four steps and about 30 minutes of phone time, and the call can be interrupted as often as it needs to be. The Olympic Behavioral Health clinical director approves each postpartum admission.
Olympic Behavioral Health admissions staff ask how the postpartum weeks are going. A partner or relative can make the call instead.
A benefit check returns the payable amount at all three levels. The check obligates nobody and takes minutes.
Sleep, mood, postpartum anxiety and who is available to help are recorded by phone by Olympic Behavioral Health. That call settles which level is realistic.
Paperwork first, then evaluation and screening. A case manager and a primary therapist are assigned by Olympic Behavioral Health that day.
Same-day admission available, subject to criteria.
Frequently Asked Questions
Seven questions about postpartum depression counseling at Olympic Behavioral Health, covering childcare, fathers, rage, duration, baby blues, psychosis and where treatment runs.
Yes, for the hours you attend. Olympic Behavioral Health in Lantana does not provide childcare. Outpatient is one three-hour group each week, intensive outpatient runs mornings Monday to Saturday, and the level rises once somebody can reliably cover those mornings.
Yes. Fathers and non-birthing partners develop postpartum depression. Olympic Behavioral Health admits adults of any gender and applies the same postpartum treatment plan to a father as to a mother, at all three outpatient levels.
Anger that arrives fast, out of proportion, and is followed by guilt. Postpartum rage is a presentation of postpartum depression, not a separate diagnosis. DBT distress tolerance training is the part of the postpartum plan built for those minutes.
Duration is the dividing line. The Florida Department of Health reports baby blues as usually mild and resolving within one to two weeks. Postpartum depression lasts longer, begins any time in the first year, and does not resolve on its own.
Average length of stay at partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient runs 30 to 45 days. Postpartum depression does not resolve on its own, and untreated postpartum depression persists well beyond the two-week baby-blues window. No clinic can promise a timeline.
Postpartum psychosis is a medical emergency and is not treated here. Postpartum psychosis is rare, comes on fast, and needs an emergency room or 988 immediately rather than an outpatient referral. Call Olympic Behavioral Health afterwards, once the emergency has been handled.
All three levels run at 3618 Lantana Road, Suite 200, Lantana, FL 33462. Exit 61 on I-95 reaches the building, and downtown West Palm Beach sits 12 miles north of the Olympic Behavioral Health site in Lantana.

Truly changed my life. Came from residential program feeling ready to return home but decided to step to Olympic before I made the journey home. Best decision I ever made. It truly strengthened everything I learned and provides an opportunity to put it into practice. If you come with the right mindset and attitude you will truly be grateful. Love all the staff and alumni the support is truly out of this world. Love you and miss you guys!

Olympic saved my life! When I first got there, I was absolutely against it, but Meg and her crew did some things different for me and made the place to fit me so that I would stay. They made me feel welcome and comfortable Which is hard to do! But it’s been amazing success that we had is truly unprecedented. They’re friendly and they know what they’re doing. God bless them!
