Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Springfield, MA

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) of Asian descent with over a decade of experience working with adults, children, families, and couples from a wide range of cultural and personal backgrounds. I'm deeply passionate about the mental health field and committed to providing trauma-informed care that honors each person's unique story and resilience. I believe in the power of connection, presence, and authenticity in the healing process. I also have a deep love for the outdoors and often incorporate nature into my work, as I find it to be a powerful and effective form of experiential therapy. Whether we're exploring your inner world or using elements of the natural world for grounding and reflection, my goal is to create a safe, supportive space for growth and healing.

Is your experience with pregnancy, postpartum, or parenthood not going as you thought it might? Or are you finding the transition to motherhood stressful and life changing? Though it can be joyful, it can also be a vulnerable time filled with overwhelming stress, worry, sadness, or even grief. If this sounds at all like you, please know I am here to help.

I am committed to assisting people in identifying and meeting their personal goals through therapy. I am a masters level clinician with over 20 years of experience. Individual, family and DBT Skills Training groups are my specialties.

As a therapist, my goal is to provide empathy and compassion in an emotionally safe environment. I am passionate about helping people through the most difficult challenges life may have. I work with people to build their self-worth, ease emotional pain, and help regain a sense of enjoyment in their life as they once had. I envision helping people recognize their strengths, then build on their strengths, to help them to become more self-confident, happy and aware.

I work with people from all walks of life who are ready to look inward, explore patterns, and make meaningful change. Together, we’ll address your goals—whether that’s managing symptoms, improving relationships, or finding a greater sense of purpose and peace. I believe therapy works best when it’s grounded in trust, curiosity, and collaboration. Because diagnoses are never one-size-fits-all, I approach mental health as a specific set of experiences in a complex world. I show up as my genuine self to show that therapy can truly be for anyone. I’m ready to work together to make your life feel like a place you want to be.

I am a licensed clinical social worker who has worked in a variety of settings including working in an inpatient medical setting (NICU) and outpatient community mental health. I have a certificate in CBT and have worked extensively with women during the perinatal period. I have worked with a range of diagnoses, but primarily focus on anxiety and depression. I incorporate my knowledge of the nervous system, acceptance work, holistic healing, and the strengths of my clients.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who works with individuals ages 13 and older. With a warm and collaborative approach, Kaity specializes in helping clients navigate and manage stress, anxiety, depression, and significant life transitions. Her goal is to help you feel less "stuck," clarify your goals, and build a more balanced, fulfilling life.

Maybe it showed up when you became a parent, started a new relationship, went no-contact, searched for (or decided not to search for) biological family, changed careers, or hit a milestone age that cracked things open. Whatever triggered it, you’re probably asking questions like: Who am I really? Why does this hit differently for me? Why does everyone else seem fine when I’m not?

I work with adoptees who are navigating identity, belonging, and the emotional fallout that often comes with major life transitions. A lot of my clients are high-functioning, thoughtful, and exhausted from trying to hold it all together while pretending this stuff doesn’t matter.

My style is warm, direct, and very real—I swear sometimes and I don’t shy away from the hard stuff. I help you understand your nervous system and relationships so you’re not just surviving, but actually getting yourself. If you’re an adoptee in a life shift thinking “something’s off,” you’re not broken—and you don’t have to do this alone.

With 165+ reviews and a 4.96 rating on Zocdoc, I have specialized in advanced medication management for complex, treatment-resistant conditions. I utilize a neurobiological approach that focuses on frontal lobe/executive functioning, nervous system dysregulation, and neurotransmitter systems to diagnose and treat various concerns - ADHD/executive dysfunction, OCD, trauma/C-PTSD, high-masking autism, personality profiles, and cases where standard medication treatments have failed. While I specialize in clinical complexity, I bring that same deep, careful attention to treating anxiety, depression, and clients starting medication for the first time.

Something brought you here today. Maybe you're carrying something heavy that's hard to name. Maybe a relationship isn't working the way you hoped. Maybe life shifted in a way you weren't prepared for and you haven't felt like yourself since. Whatever it is — you're in the right place.

I work with individuals and couples navigating reproductive health, life transitions, and relationships. I specialize in infertility, pregnancy loss, and postpartum adjustment, as well as the moments when life leaves you feeling stuck, disconnected, or not quite yourself. With couples, I focus on communication, intimacy, and rebuilding trust and connection after rupture.
