Selene Altamirano-Farrell

I am a licensed therapist specializing in trauma and perinatal mental health. I am certified in perinatal mental health (PMH-C) and have advanced training in EMDR and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). I often work with adults experiencing anxiety, OCD, trauma, relationship issues, grief, parenting stress, and life transitions, including pregnancy and postpartum adjustment.

Sessions with me are collaborative, grounded, and real. We slow things down, get curious about what’s happening underneath symptoms, and build tools that actually work in your daily life. And yes—we will likely laugh, cry, and sometimes do both in the same session!

At the center of my work is the belief that people are not broken—they’re doing their best with the experiences they’ve had. Therapy with me is about helping you reconnect with your internal steadiness, even when things feel anything but steady.

My approach is trauma informed and integrates EMDR, Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP), Internal Family Systems (IFS), DBT, mindfulness and CBT methods. I tailor care to each person, combining practical tools with deeper emotional work to support meaningful, sustainable change.

As a certified perinatal mental health specialist (PMH-C) and parent, I understand just how world-rocking parenthood can be. I am honored to support individuals navigating the complex experiences surrounding pregnancy, birth, and parenting.

You can expect me to be warm, humorous, validating, and curious. My goal is to make first sessions as comfortable as possible. I will always go at your pace and welcome any questions you may have.
