At the heart of my work is a simple belief: we all have a fundamental desire to be seen and to connect. While life inevitably brings us through seasons of loss and uncertainty, I believe these moments are where our deepest growth happens. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for that connection to take place. Together, we can explore your unique journey, creating room for the self-discovery and healing that comes when we feel truly heard.
I am Carrie Moore a licensed therapist with 10 years of experience. I have a passion for helping clients to find positive solutions to lead their best lives. I have extensive experience in dealing with addictions, anxiety, and depression.
I’m Dr. Heather Cromwell, a Licensed Professional Counselor providing telehealth therapy to adults in Alaska and Oregon. I have over 10 years of experience working in behavioral health across outpatient, inpatient, and community mental health settings, including extensive work with individuals experiencing serious and persistent mental illness, anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, burnout, and emotional overwhelm.
My background includes a Ph.D. and Master’s degree in Industrial-Organizational Psychology, along with years of leadership and program development experience in behavioral healthcare. I bring both clinical expertise and a practical, person-centered approach to therapy.
I believe therapy works best when clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and emotionally safe. My style is warm, collaborative, direct when helpful, and grounded in authenticity. I work to create a space where clients can better understand themselves, strengthen coping skills, improve relationships, process difficult experiences, and move toward meaningful change at a pace that feels manageable and supportive.
I understand that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and I strive to make the process feel approachable and comfortable from the very beginning.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Portland
Finding postpartum therapists in Portland starts with knowing which kind of support matches your needs. Postpartum concerns can include more than depression, such as postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. Some people also search for a therapist for postpartum depression, a postpartum depression counselor, or a prenatal depression therapist. As you compare options, look for therapists who list perinatal mental health, postpartum support, or the Perinatal Mental Health Certification, known as PMH-C, in their profile.
Portland has many therapists across neighborhoods like Northeast Portland, Southeast Portland, and downtown, which can make the search feel broad at first. For new parents, practical fit matters too. An unpredictable schedule, infant care, physical recovery, and commute time can shape whether in-person or virtual therapy works better. Review each therapist’s bio for details on appointment availability, therapy style, experience with therapy for new moms, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before you book.
Therapy in Portland can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before starting care. Headway helps you find postpartum therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, verify your insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront, so you can compare fit, coverage, and availability in one place.
