Mimi Kent

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 16 mi away • El Segundo, CA


I partner with clients to support healing, growth, and positive transformation. I offer an intimate space that’s grounded in empathy and curiosity. But I'm also real, direct, and sometimes a little playful. Therapy with me isn’t stiff or clinical; it's human, heartfelt, and intuitive. I’ve helped clients reframe and navigate anxiety, chronic illness, trauma, depression, and shame, offering relief from painful symptoms and limiting beliefs. I’m EMDR trained and bring over 25 years of yoga and meditation practice into the room with us.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Long Beach

Searching for postpartum therapists in Long Beach starts with finding someone whose training matches the support you want. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience in perinatal mental health, maternal mental health, or support for new parents. A certification such as PMH-C can also signal specialized training in perinatal mental health care.

In Long Beach, practical fit can matter as much as clinical focus. New parents may need flexible scheduling, virtual appointments, or an office location that works with infant care, physical recovery, and changing routines. Virtual care can expand your options beyond nearby offices while still connecting you with therapists licensed in California. Before booking, read therapist bios for details on postpartum experience, session style, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Therapy in Long Beach can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for postpartum therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed profiles, verify insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can compare fit, schedule, and coverage in one place, then book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
