FAQs
What Is perinatal therapy?
1
Perinatal therapy is a specialized form of counseling designed to support individuals during pregnancy and the postpartum period. It focuses on addressing the unique emotional and mental health challenges that arise during this time, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues. Therapy can help you manage the transition to parenthood, improve your mental well-being, and navigate challenges like birth trauma, sleep deprivation, or adjusting to new roles.
What is a typical therapy session like with you?
2
The first session after our phone consultation is an intake and evaluation. We will meet you, either in the waiting area or via a HIPAA compliant telehealth platform, and introduce you to the therapy space. We will review your intake paperwork and ensure we are a good match to work together - during this time, We encourage you to ask any questions you have to help you get to know us or more about the therapy process in general. These sessions are also longer in length, typically - this allows us plenty of time to connect with one another and assess your goals for therapy. After that, we will meet regularly to work toward your selected goals for therapy.
What are your session fees?

Our session fees range from $95–$275, depending on the length and frequency of sessions. We know finances can be an important part of choosing support, so we are always open to a conversation to help you find what feels workable.
Will my insurance cover my sessions?

We are out-of-network with insurance, so sessions are paid for privately at the time of service. We provide a superbill that you may submit for possible reimbursement, and many clients also choose to use HSA or FSA funds. We also offer a helpful worksheet to guide you through understanding and submitting out-of-network benefits. Our goal is to help make this process as simple and accessible as possible, so it doesn’t become a barrier to getting support.
Do you offer both in person and virtual sessions?
5
Yes. we offer in-person sessions in a comfortable, well-lit office space, as well as virtual therapy throughout the state of Georgia. We also offer walk-and-talk sessions for clients who find it helpful to move and connect in an outdoor setting.
What is the difference between counseling and consulting?
6
The difference between counseling and consulting services lies in the focus and purpose of the support provided. Counseling services are centered around emotional support and mental health, offering therapeutic interventions to help individuals explore their feelings, behaviors, and mental well-being. Led by licensed professionals, counseling aims to address personal struggles, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions, with the goal of healing and personal growth. On the other hand, consulting services provide expert advice and guidance to help clients navigate specific challenges or make informed decisions. Consulting is more focused on practical solutions, offering strategic recommendations for areas such as birth planning, sleep support, or building a network of perinatal professionals. While counseling focuses on emotional and psychological healing, consulting helps clients make informed choices and solve problems with specialized expertise.
How do I know if we’re a good fit? What if we’re not?
7
A good therapeutic fit often comes down to feeling safe, seen, and comfortable enough to show up as yourself over time. We encourage you to pay attention to how you feel reading through our website, and during our first contact or session - your sense of ease and connection matters. Therapy is a very personal relationship, and it’s okay if it takes a little time to figure out whether it feels right. If you decide that we may not be the best fit for your needs, we will do my best to offer appropriate referrals so you can find support that feels more aligned to you and your needs.
