Kate Hestwood

I am a licensed clinical social worker and certified perinatal mental health therapist with specialties in trauma recovery and maternal mental health. By forming an authentic professional relationship while working to alleviate distress, my goal is for therapy to feel safe, effective, and accessible for clients with diverse perspectives and life experiences.

The prenatal, pregnancy, postpartum and adoption experiences are a time of significant transition and uncertainty. Just as in adolescence, the shift to motherhood is greatly influenced by hormonal changes, identity changes, the impact of life experiences and preconceived expectations for the parenting transition.
