Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in Louisville, CO

Are you stressed or unsatisfied and ready to make a change in your life? Are you struggling in your relationships? Perhaps feeling lost and overwhelmed after having a baby? If so, I can help! I specialize in anxiety, depression, perinatal mood/ anxiety disorders, and relational issues. I believe good therapy should be collaborative, and your relationship with your therapist is key. This is YOUR therapy- I hope that you feel empowered to look around and find a therapist who feels like the right fit. Please don't hesitate to reach out- we all need support during this difficult time.

Relationships create the foundation of our lives throughout our entire existence. In fact, our earliest relationships can impact nearly every future interaction we have. If you have questions, concerns, or curiosities about any of your relationships - with your partner, children, extended family, or friends - working with a therapist specially trained in attachment work can change your life. Finding a therapist who really understands you, and what you are going through, is imperative in attachment work. Find someone who will both deeply support you and gently challenge you when you are on the edge of growth.

Parenting, especially in the midst of our ever changing, fast moving culture, comes with many joys and challenges. Our expectations of parenthood often do not match our reality and this can leave caregivers with feelings of anxiety, stress, isolation, inadequacy and loneliness. Having a place to explore those feelings without judgement is what makes therapy so powerful. I am here to help you navigate parenting in a supportive non-judgmental space. Book a free 20 minute phone consultation to learn how we could work together.

Hi, I’m Meredith. I specialize in perinatal mental health and anxiety disorders and have over 18 years of clinical experience as a licensed psychologist. I create a safe space for you to openly discuss your difficulties, while also teaching you concrete, evidence-based tools to help you leave our sessions feeling empowered to start feeling better and to meet your mental health and wellness goals.

I am an Infant, Early Childhood and Perinatal Mental Health Specialist with specialized training and expertise in children birth through 6 years old, and parents during prenatal and postpartum periods. I work with families navigating challenges in mental health, behavior, and development, while promoting emotion regulation, reflection, healing, and strengthening attachment relationships. My approach is tailored to each individual family, stemming from psychodynamic principles and other evidence-based therapies. I offer play therapy and perinatal mental health services, as well as parenting support, coaching and consultation.

Becoming a parent can be both joyful and overwhelming. If you're struggling with feelings of sadness, anxiety, or disconnect after childbirth, know that you're not alone. Postpartum depression and anxiety can make you feel lost and isolated, impacting your ability to bond with your baby and enjoy this special time. It’s okay to seek help, and reaching out is a brave first step towards reclaiming your peace and happiness. I specialize in pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum depression and anxiety, miscarriage, traumatic birth, and transition to parenthood.

A strong, secure relationship can bring enormous joy to your life, and a struggling relationship can bring tremendous pain, fear, and despair. If your current relationship is in trouble because of conflict, lack of connection, or problems you can't fix on your own, I can help. I work deeply with couples so that they understand their own attachment styles and emotional patterns and those of their partner. Couples gain confidence in their connection so that they can leave behind patterns of emotional reactivity and withdrawal/shutdown, and share their needs, fears and feelings with confidence.

There is nothing I enjoy more than helping people improve their lives and relationships; feel less stressed and more content. I take a down-to-earth approach that focuses on your particular needs, desires and goals. Then we come up with a plan for how to enable you to meet your goals. This involves finding out what is blocking you from having the kind of life you want, and taking the steps to overcome those obstacles. Once you understand the source of your difficulties, and have an ally to help you make the necessary changes, anything is possible.

Starting therapy takes courage. It can feel scary, confusing, and messy at times. I am here to make it lighter. To help you find hope and energy to keep going. To hold your pain, to help you find what works in your unique situation, to find direction, and to empower you in being successful with your goals. I specialize in aging and health psychology (including sexual health, postpartum care, chronic diseases, pain, and eating disorders).

My approach integrates DBT, CBT, Gottman Method, Attachment Theory, body-based therapies, humor, and creativity to support clients in understanding unhelpful patterns; setting healthy boundaries and communicate needs to the people they love. My hope is to help clients create agency and purpose in their lives through providing the space necessary for individuals and couples to address a wide range of challenges that arise within significant relationships and impact our overall well-being.

Caitlin is a compassionate Licensed Professional Counselor and Art Therapist who holds a Masters in Transpersonal Counseling from Naropa University. Her expertise lies in treating both adults and children with trauma, as well as women along the birth continuum. Before starting her private practice, Caitlin worked in non-profits with children, and in private practice, using holistic methods to support women. Caitlin sees the body as key to healing and offers somatic interventions such as breathwork, meditation, and art making in her sessions. When not helping others, you will find Caitlin on the dance floor or splashing in the creek.

My experience is that many challenges we encounter are based on habits/patterns, which at one point may have felt helpful and necessary. Frequently, these ways of feeling and behaving are automatic, not within conscious awareness and not fully understood. My role is to facilitate curiosity of these repetitive cycles and work through the obstacles that interfere with leading the fullest life one desires. Part of therapy is co creating a narrative and ultimately becoming the author of one’s story. A trusting, collaborative therapeutic relationship is the foundation to begin this exploration. A dose of humor can help in the process.

Reaching out can be insanely difficult and vulnerable at times, I get it. Come in, have some tea, see if the connection feels right for you. I'm here to offer my heart, love, guidance, resources and a safe cozy space for sharing and moving through what may be stuck or needing extra attention. I am here to wade through the gunk with you and also to help you see through and beyond it. At times that means I might direct and re-direct you away from the story, away from the chatter and the thoughts and into your body, connecting with your nervous system, with your sensations, with your authentic self.

We all get scared sometimes - scared things will change, scared things won’t change, scared of who we truly are or who we might become. Life can really throw us for a loop. It takes real bravery to face the things that scare us. And only through that bravery can we actually accept ourselves for who we are, what we truly want and what part we’ve had in creating the thing that scares us. Once we can accept this, we can begin to create a life reflecting truth, authenticity and integrity.

I believe that each of us has the ability to heal from painful past experiences and to mend the wounds that we carry around in our minds and bodies. I have a passion for helping adults process their wounding experiences that may be showing up as symptoms of anxiety and depression, grief and loss, anger and rage, difficulty with trust and navigating relationships, perfectionist tendencies, exhaustion and overwhelm, and emotional dysregulation. I have a special interest in helping parents navigate the overwhelm and their own wounding that may be surfacing while adjusting to parenting and raising children.

Much of the human experience is spent on autopilot, operating from habit. We can feel lost, anxious, and unhappy, disconnected with ourselves, not knowing our values or purpose. Automatic negative thinking, old family patterns and triggers can be on repeat. We often work, love, parent, and engage in relationships from this rather unconscious, unfulfilling place. Happiness can feel allusive here. Together, we can explore the process of waking up, to what's inside and discovering how to ground from a place of purpose. Come get curious! Please NOTE: I am an eco-therapist, I see clients in-person outside, or via tele-therapy.

Everyone has seasons in life where they are struggling and need help. I provide a supportive and nonjudgemental space to receive support and healing for anxiety, depression, life changes (such as divorce, birth, marriage, moving, new jobs), loss, trauma, emotional regulation, relationships problems and even general goal setting. I believe the key to life satisfaction is identifying your core values and then working to align your behaviors and decisions with those values.

Do you find yourself struggling despite working hard to build the life you want? Excel in some areas of your life while you feel lost in others? Feeling stuck or uncertain about which direction to move in? I’m glad you’re here! It can be difficult to talk about our struggles, but often a relief too, because we realize we’re not alone and there is help available to us. I believe therapy can be a productive, yet healing process. If you're tired of repeating the same patterns, feeling lost or uncertain about an aspect of your life, or struggling in your relationships, I'm here to help you uncover your full potential.

When we live our lives on the emotional rollercoaster, it's entirely understandable to feel deep fatigue. Dealing with the uncertainty can be a feat all of its' very own. You see friends, coworkers and neighbors seemingly making lemonade out of lemons, you yearn to do the same...but, something has been nagging at you. Feeling reflective, you know that there is an another path calling you...a path revealing authenticity & joy. You know in your heart its there and possible but, have no idea where to start and/or have had a few false starts. Guess what...you are right! No more wondering starts today - choose YOU!
