You're Not Alone in This
Yet finding a therapist who truly understands these specialized experiences feels impossible.
You've been:
- •Googling symptoms at 2am, wondering if what you're feeling is "normal"
- •Putting on a brave face while privately struggling with anxiety or grief
- •Feeling disconnected from friends who don't understand your journey
- •Waiting weeks for appointments with therapists who don't specialize in your needs
There's a better way forward.
Expert Care for Women's Unique Mental Health Needs
Infertility Counseling
Navigate the emotional rollercoaster of fertility treatments, IVF, loss, and family-building decisions with someone who understands the unique grief and hope of this journey.
Perinatal Mental Health
From pregnancy anxiety to postpartum depression, get specialized support during the massive transition to motherhood—because "just wait it out" isn't a treatment plan.

Common Questions
"How do I know if I need therapy?"
If you're asking this question, it's worth a conversation. Common signs include persistent anxiety, difficulty coping with life changes, relationship struggles, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you.
"What's the difference between your therapists?"
Katherine specializes in infertility, perinatal mental health, and EMDR therapy. Olivia focuses on general women's mental health, anxiety, and life transitions. We'll help match you during your consultation.
"Do you prescribe medication?"
As counselors, we don't prescribe medication but can coordinate with your psychiatrist or physician and provide referrals when needed.
