I'm a licensed therapist who works with people navigating anxiety, life transitions, and the general chaos that can come with being a human, especially during big seasons of change like parenthood, relationship shifts, graduations, or just feeling like you're not quite where you thought you'd be.

I'm warm, honest, and very much a real person in the room with you. Therapy with me is supportive, but also practical and grounded in real life.

April Clements

April Clements

Therapist

Virtual • Virginia


I'm April — a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has worked alongside people in some of the hardest chapters of their lives: crisis moments in emergency settings, school hallways with overwhelmed teenagers, and outpatient rooms where families were trying to figure out how to be in the same room again. That range of experience has shaped how I work. I know that anxiety looks different in a 15-year-old than it does in a 40-year-old. I know that couples who love each other can still feel like strangers. And I know that healing isn't linear — it takes time, trust, and the right support.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and marital concerns, family conflict, parenting challenges, life transitions, and emotional regulation. I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families. For clients who want it, I also offer faith-integrated counseling that weaves Christian beliefs and values into the therapeutic process — thoughtfully, ethically, and at your pace.

Michelle Bell

Therapist

Virtual • Virginia


I believe therapy works best when clients feel safe, heard, and genuinely supported. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative environment where clients can show up as their authentic selves. My approach is compassionate, direct when needed, and focused on helping clients build practical tools for everyday life while also exploring deeper emotional patterns and experiences.

I enjoy working with individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, stress, identity exploration, and emotional overwhelm. I am passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC clients and creating an affirming therapeutic space where clients feel respected and understood.

I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and my goal is to meet clients where they are while helping them move toward healing, clarity, and meaningful growth.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Maternal Mental Health Therapist in Richmond, VA

Finding postpartum therapists in Richmond starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Postpartum care can address more than postpartum depression, including postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with maternal mental health, perinatal care, postpartum counseling, or work as a therapist for moms. A perinatal mental health certification, often listed as PMH-C, can also signal specialized training.

Richmond offers both local and virtual options, which can help you find care that fits your schedule, location, and preferences. For many new parents, virtual therapy can make appointments easier to attend while managing infant care, physical recovery, and changing routines. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios can help you see how each person describes their approach, specialties, and communication style before you book.

Postpartum counseling in Richmond can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find Richmond therapists who focus on postpartum concerns and offer upfront cost estimates after your coverage is verified. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm what coverage is available for your specific plan and area. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
