Hello, Heather here. LMFT in Florida & California. My mission in therapy is to create a space where you will feel safe enough to just be yourself. I understand how difficult it is to seek counseling, to open up and share your experiences and struggles with another person. Therapy is my passion and I have over 25 years providing positive, successful & attainable results with various clients.
Weather you have been considering therapy, worked with therapy in the past or loved ones are suggesting reaching out-welcome to my practice. I work with individuals, couples and families in the assessment and treatment of anxiety, depression, relationship issues, career issues, job dissatisfaction. My specialty areas included the assessment and treatment of Perinatal and Postpartum Depression/Anxiety and Grief and Loss.
There's a version of getting through life that looks completely fine from the outside and feels exhausting on the inside. I work with teens, young adults, and adults who are carrying more than it shows: anxiety, the aftereffects of trauma, major life transitions, or relationship patterns that keep repeating in ways that are hard to explain. I have a particular focus on trauma and attachment wounds and work with many clients who've spent years managing symptoms without ever addressing what's underneath them. My practice is warm and genuinely collaborative. I'll show up as a real partner in your growth, not a distant presence behind a notepad.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Los Angeles
Searching for postpartum therapists in Los Angeles 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. Some people also look for therapy during pregnancy or after pregnancy loss. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience in perinatal mental health, maternal mental health, or a perinatal mental health certification (PMH-C), which can signal specialized training.
In a city as large as Los Angeles, having many options can make the search take more time. A therapist near your home, workplace, or transit route may matter if you want in-person sessions, while virtual appointments can make care easier to fit around infant care, physical recovery, and changing schedules. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their approach, specialties, and communication style before you book.
Therapy in Los Angeles can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and get clearer pricing before your first appointment. Headway helps you search for postpartum therapists, review estimated costs after you enter your insurance details, confirm coverage for your specific plan and location, and book directly when you’re ready.
