Many people seek therapy for support with reproductive mental health, perinatal mental health, and birth trauma. For some, this may be their first experience with counseling. It’s completely normal to wonder what to expect.

​

During the first few sessions, we take time to get to know you, understand your background, and identify your goals for therapy. These goals help guide the approach we use together. While talking about feelings is part of the process, much of our work focuses on building tools and skills to help you manage your mental health and navigate life’s challenges.

​

We also offer trauma-informed, brain–body–based therapies designed to help process and heal from difficult experiences. These approaches can feel intense at times, but they are often highly effective and time-limited, allowing for meaningful change and relief.

You can choose to meet in person at our Spokane office or through secure virtual sessions, depending on what feels most comfortable and convenient for you.

​

For clients located outside of the Spokane area, we offer telehealth sessions using Zoom for Healthcare, a HIPAA-compliant platform designed to protect your privacy. If you’re meeting virtually, please download the Zoom app before your first session and make sure you have a quiet, private space where you can focus and feel at ease.

 

Both in-person and telehealth sessions offer meaningful connection and effective support—you can decide which option best fits your needs.

Yes! We are licensed to provide therapy in both Washington and Idaho.

 

If you live in Idaho, you’re welcome to attend sessions in-person at our Spokane, WA office—just about 30 minutes from Coeur d’Alene, ID. We’re conveniently located right off the freeway, making in-person visits easy to access.

​

We offer telehealth sessions for clients who are physically located in either Washington or Idaho at the time of their appointment.

 

Please note that, due to federal licensing laws, we’re unable to provide telehealth therapy to clients who are physically located outside of Washington or Idaho at the time of their session. 

Each therapy session typically lasts around 53 minutes, giving us time to check in, explore what’s been coming up for you, and work toward your goals in a focused and supportive way.

​

This standard session length allows enough time to make meaningful progress while fitting comfortably into most schedules. Some specialized trauma or intensive sessions may be scheduled for longer, depending on your treatment plan and needs.

Yes, we accept most commercial insurance plans as well as Washington State Medicaid.

​

Because coverage can vary between plans, it’s a good idea to contact your insurance provider directly to confirm your mental health benefits and any copays or deductibles that may apply.

​

If you prefer to pay out of pocket, we can provide a superbill you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

We typically begin by meeting once per week, which helps build consistency and momentum as we get started. Over time, the frequency of sessions may change based on your therapeutic goals, progress, scheduling needs, or financial considerations.

​

The number of sessions varies for each person. Some clients work toward specific goals over a shorter period, while others prefer ongoing support over a longer time. Together, we’ll regularly check in about your progress and decide what pace and duration of therapy feel most helpful for you.

While our primary focus is perinatal, reproductive mental health, and birth trauma, we understand that healing often involves exploring other areas of your life as well. It’s common for related topics—such as family of origin, relationships, identity, past trauma, or life transitions—to come up in therapy, and we welcome those discussions as part of your overall care.

​

If, over time, another concern becomes the main focus of therapy, we’ll talk about whether a referral to a therapist who specializes in that area might better support your ongoing needs. Our goal is always to ensure you receive the most effective and specialized care possible -- sometimes that means we are not the best fit anymore and that's okay.

We do not offer couples therapy, but we do provide intermittent family support sessions. These sessions are designed for partners and/or family members to learn how to support their loved one through perinatal mental health challenges or birth trauma.

​

Our goal is to help families understand the healing process, build supportive strategies, and strengthen connection while keeping the focus on the client’s mental health and well-being.
