Bridgit Serrano
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C
As a Perinatal Mental Health Certified therapist (PMH-C), I specialize in postpartum depression and mood changes that arise before and after childbirth, including symptoms that follow a difficult or traumatic birth experience. Many women I work with feel numb, irritable, disconnected, or unlike themselves — sometimes accompanied by guilt or shame for not feeling the way they envisioned. Using EMDR and attachment-focused therapy, we address both the emotional impact of the birth and the deeper patterns contributing to depression, helping you feel more present, steady, and connected over time.

Soma Aloia, SolDance Therapy & Somatic Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCST, CYT, OrdM
"Adverse imprinting results from any event or events that overwhelms us on a spiritual, psychological, physiological, and/or structural level. Until resolved, adverse imprinting will impact the baby, child, and adult on all levels throughout life" (Myrna Martin, et al). Behaviors arise from adverse imprinting to manage trauma, and do not come from our primary self, our original authenticity. Life becomes more and more difficult, illness arises, "flow" stops. All of our work together addresses this from a foundation of Health, and is a process of building resiliency - the nervous system's ability to handle stressful events that inevitably are part of life. A capacity that comes from our authentic nature, from more joy, heart, and presence, instead of detrimental imprints - imprints that were once necessary and helpful but now may be harmful to your life. Your work with me, or your child's, creates secure attachment and safety regardless of a turbulent world.
I also offer environmental illness/mold recovery consultations and treatment using integrative functional health & nutrition therapies. My specialty here involves Microbiome recovery and resilience.

Allie Michie, MS
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT159347
The postpartum period can bring up so much more than anyone prepares you for. If you're feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or not quite like yourself after having a baby, that's worth paying attention to. This season changes everything, including who you are as an individual and as a partner. I work with both moms and dads navigating the emotional complexity of early parenthood with warmth, patience, and genuine curiosity about your experience.
