Nellie McCarty

I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Washington and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California, offering virtual therapy for adults navigating pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, pregnancy or infant loss, and the transition to parenthood. My practice is dedicated exclusively to perinatal mental health, helping individuals manage anxiety, depression, overwhelming stress, relationship changes, and the many emotional challenges that can accompany this stage of life. I hold a Master of Social Work degree and have completed advanced training through Postpartum Support International, earning my PMH-C certification in perinatal mental health.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and relationship-focused, creating a space where clients feel supported as they navigate challenges and work toward meaningful change. As a mother of three, I bring both professional expertise and a deep appreciation for the complexities of balancing personal well-being, relationships, and family life.

In our first session, we'll spend time getting to know each other and discussing what brings you to therapy. Together, we'll explore your current concerns, identify your goals, and begin developing a treatment plan tailored to your needs. My approach is collaborative and client-centered, meaning we'll work as a team to determine what support and strategies will be most helpful for you. You'll also have an opportunity to ask questions and make sure therapy feels like a good fit.
