Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in San Mateo, CA

I believe therapy is about empowerment, helping you reconnect with your strengths, build confidence, and create a life that feels authentic and fulfilling. Many of my clients come to me struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or challenges in their relationships. My role is to provide a safe, open, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and supported.

My work is grounded in behavioral therapy, and a firm belief that people can change. I prefer a flexible and collaborative approach that evolves as we work together. Though the foundation of my work is behavioral, I develop integrated treatment plans for each new client, drawing on other evidence-based modalities and new research.

Hello friend! My name is Caitlin and I am so proud of you for taking the first step in your healing journey.

If you’re navigating a difficult season that feels heavy, confusing, or overwhelming, you have found yourself in the right place. I work with individuals navigating grief—whether from the loss of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or a major life transition—women experiencing perinatal mental health challenges, including anxiety, overwhelm, and identity shifts and individuals seeking healing from childhood trauma and attachment wounds.

Greetings! I am a licensed psychotherapist (LMFT and LPCC) with a background in community mental health. I engage my clients in a warm, compassionate, philosophical, and non-judgmental way. Using a collaborative approach and evidence-based modalities to address a range of mental health issues, I help clients reach their therapeutic goals and achieve a greater sense of wholeness, personal agency, and lasting positive change.

Hi there, I'm Chelsy, a Licensed Therapist. In my 8 years as a therapist, I have become passionate about supporting women navigating seasons of life, those who are pregnant, post-partum, coping with loss and beyond. I love providing support during life transitions and helping my clients to be the best possible versions of themselves. Working with me you can expect a warm and judgement free space to have honest and transparent conversations, process experiences, and practice coping tools.

In my therapy practice, I’m here to truly see you and meet you where you are. I offer research-based (read: effective with positive outcomes) therapeutic approaches for individuals, families, and organizations, with a focus on creating a space where you feel understood and supported.
