URGENT: Looking for a counselor/therapist who has experience dealing with PPD/PPA- WNC, Upstate...

[Breathless Wonder]

I am looking for a counselor or therapist who has experience dealing with Postpartum Depression and/or Postpartum Anxiety. 

AP/ NFL/ homeschooling friendly individual preferred. 

The person I am asking for has no computer access, and lives in the southwestern corner of NC, not far from the SC border.  She is willing to drive to any of the following towns, or to areas surrounding them: Hickory, Shelby, Charlotte, Gaffney, Spartanburg, Greenville, Hendersonville, Asheville, Morganton. 

If you know of a provider outside of, but near to that radius, please either post or PM me their information.  They might be too far away, but they may know someone who is closer. 

Thanks in advance!
