Working With Us

At Palmetto, our expert therapists provide specialized online therapy for pregnancy and postpartum mental health, offering a safe, supportive space where you can catch your breath, be honest about how you’re really doing, and start to feel like yourself again.

Maybe your mind won’t slow down. You’re constantly overthinking, second-guessing, imagining worst-case scenarios, or noticing scary thoughts that are hard to understand or talk about — common in postpartum anxiety and OCD.

Maybe you feel stretched thin, not quite like yourself, and unsure why this feels so much harder than you expected — something many moms experience with postpartum depression.

Or maybe you’re navigating fertility challenges, grieving a pregnancy loss, processing birth trauma, finding peace with your body image, or navigating relationship stress after having a baby.

Whatever the problem, many of the moms we work with come to us wondering, Is it normal to feel this way?”

If that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place. This is what we help our clients with every day, and many of us have been there ourselves. We really get it.

Our approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your unique experience. We help you make sense of what you’re feeling while giving you practical tools to feel more grounded, more confident, and more supported in this season of life.

We start with a free consultation to understand what you’re going through and thoughtfully match you with a therapist on our team who specializes in your needs.

You don’t have to wait until things feel “bad enough” to get support.
And you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Let’s take the next step together.
