Brittany is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a master of social work degree from Walden University. With over seven years of experience in the field of social work, she brings a wide-ranging background that includes working with the Children’s Division, in hospital settings, with geriatrics, and school-based social work. This diverse experience has given her a deep understanding of individuals across the lifespan and the unique challenges they face. Helping others through therapy is more than just a career, it’s a calling. Brittany believes deeply in the power of trauma-informed care and support, and the healing that comes from having a safe, judgment-free space to process and grow. She also believes in the importance of identifying the root cause of symptoms, rather than just managing surface-level issues.

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 Kansas City, MO

Finding postpartum therapists in Kansas City starts with looking for care that matches your specific needs after pregnancy or birth. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. You may also see terms like perinatal therapy or maternal mental health therapy, which can include support during pregnancy and after birth. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with postpartum care, counseling for postpartum depression, or a PMH-C credential, which can signal specialized training in perinatal mental health.

In a mid-sized city like Kansas City, your options may include therapists with local offices and therapists who offer virtual sessions across Missouri. Virtual care can be especially practical for new parents who are balancing infant care, changing schedules, and physical recovery. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also help you understand their approach, communication style, and experience with postpartum depression counseling before you book.

Therapy in Kansas City can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find postpartum depression therapists near you, shows estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and lets you filter by specialty, availability, appointment format, and fit. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm coverage for your specific plan and location. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

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