Anna Bellard

Therapist

Virtual • Oregon


I'm Anna Bellard, LCSW, a trauma therapist with nearly a decade of experience supporting adults through anxiety, PSTD, and the lasting impact of trauma. I specialize in EMDR therapy and somatic-based approaches that help clients heal not just mentally, but through the nervous system as a whole.

I earned my Bachelor's degree in Psychology at the University of Vermont and completed my Master of Social Work at University of Denver in 2020. My clinical background includes inpatient psychiatric care, adult partial hospitalization (PHP), and dual-diagnosis treatment, where I worked with complex trauma, mood disorders, and substance use.

Overtime, my work led me to focus on individual therapy for adults seeking deeper healing, emotional regulation, and reconnection with themselves. My approach is warm, collaborative, and direct.

I specialize in working with individuals across all mental health conditions, with a particular focus on anxiety, depression, anger and irritability, and feelings of frustration or helplessness. My greatest strengths are empathy, strong clinical judgment, and effective communication — qualities that allow me to build genuine therapeutic relationships and develop collaborative treatment plans tailored to each person's unique needs. I am deeply passionate about mental health because I believe every individual deserves the opportunity to improve their quality of life, build resilience, and experience meaningful recovery.

Hi, I’m Dr. Deneice, DNP, MBA, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC. I am a doctoral-prepared, board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and owner of Eden Total Care.

I provide concierge-style virtual psychiatric care for young-feeling adults at any age who are navigating anxiety, depression, insomnia, PTSD, PMDD, ADHD, autism-related concerns, mood symptoms, emotional overwhelm, burnout, and diagnostic uncertainty.

I'm a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience working with adults navigating some of life's hardest seasons — infertility, adoption, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and the kind of grief that doesn't have a clear name yet. I'm faith-integrated in my approach, which means I honor the role spirituality plays in your life without ever making it a requirement. My clients describe me as warm, easy to talk to, and refreshingly direct. I don't do one-size-fits-all therapy — every treatment plan starts with your story.

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 Portland

Finding postpartum therapists in Portland starts with knowing which kind of support matches your needs. Postpartum concerns can include more than depression, such as postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. Some people also search for a therapist for postpartum depression, a postpartum depression counselor, or a prenatal depression therapist. As you compare options, look for therapists who list perinatal mental health, postpartum support, or the Perinatal Mental Health Certification, known as PMH-C, in their profile.

Portland has many therapists across neighborhoods like Northeast Portland, Southeast Portland, and downtown, which can make the search feel broad at first. For new parents, practical fit matters too. An unpredictable schedule, infant care, physical recovery, and commute time can shape whether in-person or virtual therapy works better. Review each therapist’s bio for details on appointment availability, therapy style, experience with therapy for new moms, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before you book.

Therapy in Portland 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 starting care. Headway helps you find postpartum therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, verify your insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront, so you can compare fit, coverage, and availability in one place.

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