“I’m pretty easy going and relaxed, I tend to let the client lead the session. I provide some structure to keep sessions therapeutically focused but no topics are off limits. I am starting training to utilize somatic feedback and deeper trauma work, but I am also mindful that trauma work is effortful and not always plausible every session.”

You deserve care that sees the whole picture, not just the surface. We know that factors like race, gender identity, sexuality, socioeconomic status, & disability can shape reproductive experiences in powerful ways. Here you’ll find therapists who recognize those realities & are committed to creating a space where your story is honored without judgment.
At Holding New Therapy, we know reproductive journeys aren’t always what you imagined. Alongside the joy, there can be loss, exhaustion, anxiety, or a sense that everything about your world has shifted overnight.
