Melissa Harper, LCPC, PMH-C

As a certified Perinatal Mental Health Specialist, I support individuals through the often complex emotional landscape of fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting. These seasons can bring profound changes—and sometimes, unexpected emotional challenges. It’s important to know that perinatal mood and anxiety disorders are common, treatable, and not your fault. You are not alone, and you can feel like yourself again. Together, we’ll explore what’s getting in the way of your peace—whether it’s overwhelming stress, sadness, intrusive thoughts, or the mental load of balancing it all. With evidence-based therapy, compassion, and a collaborative spirit, we’ll build strategies that help you feel more grounded, connected, and confident in this chapter of your life. I use evidence-based treatment modalities, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused interventions, acceptance and commitment techniques, and structural family therapy techniques. I am multiculturally affirming, LGBTQ+ affirming, and neurodiversity-affirming.
