Therapist

Virtual • California


Hi, I'm Melissa Morais Parr, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified EMDR Therapist. I specialize in supporting women through postpartum mental health challenges, birth trauma, and the intense transition into early motherhood. My work centers on helping moms feel less alone in this season- whether they're navigating postpartum anxiety or depression, processing a difficult or traumatic birth, or simply trying to find their footing amid the overwhelm of new parenthood. I bring both clinical training and personal experience to this work. I believe therapy for moms should feel like a place to exhale, not another thing to perform in.
