I strive to provide a place of safety and security for those seeking emotional and mental wellness by building meaningful relationships with my clients. I enjoy working with trauma survivors while they find a new way of living with their past. I like to look at a person from a system perspective. What system (family or otherwise) did you grow up with? What does that look like now? What changes can you make in your system to create healthier boundaries and more meaningful relationships?

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.
