Hi! I’m Vanessa! I’m a wife, Mom and entrepreneur. I’m also a psychiatric nurse practitioner specializing in integrative psychiatry and women’s mental health. I run a niche mental health clinic called Kavah Wellness Psychiatry. I hold a bachelors degree, two masters degree and a doctor of nursing practice degree. I have almost a decade of experience in the mental health sector. I love everything mental health!
As a triple board-certified nurse practitioner ( nurse midwife, family practitioner, and mental health), I believe that caring for your mind is just as important as caring for your body.

I currently care for clients aged 10-65 for many conditions, including depression, anxiety, mood/bipolar, PTSD, and perinatal disorders, among others.

Hello! I am Arwen, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, committed to helping clients begin to live their best lives. Making the decision to seek help is a big step and is the beginning to changing the issues that are interfering with your daily life. I use a safe, holistic, compassionate, judgement free approach, knowing you are the expert of you. We all have past scars, but they do not need to dictate our future. Please note that I only work with individuals 18 and older. I do not do family or couple's therapy.
You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck or just plain tired of trying to figure everything out on your own. Maybe anxiety keeps you up at night, or depression makes it hard to find the motivation to get through your day. Perhaps ADHD has you juggling a million things at once, but nothing feels like it's getting done. Maybe you're in the midst of a big change; a new role, shifting family dynamics, or health challenges and you're not sure how to navigate it all. I want you to know that you don't have to do it alone. Life doesn't always go as planned, and sometimes it can feel overwhelming to carry. We can find a way forward together.

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.
