Hi there, my name is Gina and I specialize in helping those who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, or major life transitions to find balance, clarity, and hope.

My approach is compassionate and collaborative. I draw from Brief Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Strengths-Based Therapy to help you build on your natural resilience, develop healthy coping skills, and move toward meaningful change. I believe that healing begins when you feel seen, heard, and supported. Together, we’ll focus on helping you rediscover your strengths.

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 Therapist in Tacoma

Finding a postpartum therapist in Tacoma starts with identifying the type of support that fits your situation. Postpartum depression, anxiety, OCD, and adjustment difficulties are among the most common concerns that bring new parents to therapy. A licensed provider with experience in perinatal mental health — such as a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC), licensed clinical social worker (LICSW), psychologist, or psychiatrist — can offer specialized care during this time. Some providers also hold a Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C), which signals additional training in this area.

With hundreds of providers practicing across Tacoma, Lakewood, University Place, and surrounding Pierce County communities, narrowing your options can feel like a lot — especially when you're already managing the demands of a new baby. Consider what matters most to you, whether that's a provider who offers virtual sessions, specializes in a specific postpartum condition, or practices a particular therapy approach like CBT or interpersonal therapy. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their style and decide if they're a good match before booking.

Therapy in Tacoma can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs for postpartum care. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a postpartum therapist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
