Reproductive Mental Health and Wellness, which I affectionately refer to as my second child, was born in late 2019 when I could no longer book all of the new client referrals that were being sent my way and couldn’t bear turning them away. My decision to expand my practice to a group was with the vision of providing specialized, quality, accessible mental health services to people struggling with infertility, pregnancy loss, pregnancy stressors, postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, and parenting challenges. I set out to find amazing clinicians and for them to feel supported, empowered, and educated in order to do high quality, fulfilling work. 

The pandemic hit not long after hiring our third therapist and drastically changed how we expected our group to grow and operate; in fact, thanks to telehealth we have been able to grow more quickly and reach more people than I ever imagined. Working remotely has also allowed us to maintain flexible schedules and prioritize work/life balance. 

We are now a group of nearly 20 therapists from multiple, related disciplines who have joined together from all over California to work with a population we are deeply passionate about. Many of the therapists I have carefully selected have also experienced one or more of the challenges that we now have the privilege of supporting our clients through. As one of our incredible therapists says “I am grateful to be the therapist I wish I’d had many years ago.”
