Build Confidence Supporting Perinatal and Fertility Clients
Many therapists find themselves supporting clients through pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, or fertility treatments without much formal training in perinatal mental health.
These experiences can bring complex clinical questions. Therapists often wonder:
Is this postpartum depression or normal adjustment?
How should I respond to intrusive thoughts after birth?
How do I support someone going through IVF?
What is helpful when a client becomes pregnant after infertility or loss?
My consultation groups provide a small, supportive space for therapists to deepen their clinical skills while receiving guidance on real cases.
Small Group Clinical Consultation for Therapists
These consultation groups are designed for therapists who want to feel more confident working with:
pregnancy and postpartum mental health
infertility and fertility treatments
reproductive trauma and loss
anxiety related to pregnancy or parenthood
Each group is limited to 4–6 clinicians to allow time for meaningful case consultation and discussion.
Consultation sessions include:
case consultation
clinical frameworks for reproductive mental health
assessment and screening guidance
strategies for supporting complex cases
Perinatal Mental Health Consultation Group
This group focuses on supporting therapists who work with pregnant and postpartum clients.
Common topics discussed in consultation include:
postpartum depression and anxiety
intrusive thoughts and postpartum OCD
adjustment to parenthood
sleep deprivation and emotional regulation
partner dynamics and support systems
screening and identifying postpartum mood disorders
This group is ideal for therapists who want to strengthen their ability to support clients during pregnancy and the postpartum period.
Fertility and Reproductive Mental Health Consultation Group
Many therapists want to support clients experiencing infertility but feel unsure how to navigate the emotional and medical complexities of fertility treatment.
This consultation group focuses on clinical work with clients experiencing:
infertility and fertility struggles
IVF and other fertility treatments
pregnancy after infertility
reproductive loss and grief
chronic uncertainty during fertility journeys
relationship stress related to infertility
Therapists will gain a deeper understanding of the emotional impact of fertility treatment and practical ways to support clients through this process.
Who These Consultation Groups Are For
These groups are designed for:
therapists new to perinatal mental health
clinicians who occasionally see pregnant or postpartum clients
therapists supporting clients through infertility
clinicians wanting more confidence in reproductive mental health work
Participants may include:
LCSWs
LPCs
LMFTs
psychologists
pre-licensed therapists under supervision
Consultation Group Format
Groups meet online and are structured to provide both clinical learning and case consultation.
Typical session format:
Brief teaching topic related to reproductive mental health
Case consultation from group members
Discussion and clinical questions
Groups meet monthly or every other week and are intentionally kept small to allow every clinician the opportunity to participate.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with more than 16 years of experience supporting women through pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, infertility, and reproductive trauma. I am also the author of ” There’s a Fourth Trimester?! : A step by step guide to getting the postpartum support you need to go from surviving to thriving.”
My goal with these consultation groups is to help therapists feel more confident, informed, and supported when working with clients navigating reproductive mental health challenges.
