I worked in OB/GYN for 14 years as a Certified Nurse Midwife before becoming a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have cared for couples with infertility, adoption, termination, pregnancy complications and perinatal mood disorders. Midwives are known for empathy and listening skills, which perfectly pairs for those persons going through any one of these conditions. A safe place with non-judgmental care will be offered here.

Across Counseling llc
Counselor/Therapist, MSW, LCSW, CSAC, LPC
Often, adopted children have thoughts, fears, confusion and questions over their life span. Many of these children have also suffered from early abuse and or neglect as well. When attachment to a primary caregiver does not develop, or is interrupted, there are actual changes in the brain. A competent therapist must be able to build emotionally connected relationships, have and be able to teach about the brain connection, and apply good interventions specific to each child’s history. Parents must be fully involved with treatment and are a life-long leading treatment team member for their child. Kathianne Smith, adoption specialist at Across Counseling, is an Adoption-Competent Therapist and also a TAC graduate. TAC is the prestigious Training for Adoption Competency program that trains mental health therapists nationwide. This certifies that Kathianne has the specialized skills to address the unique needs of adoptive, kinship and foster families. Over the last 30 years Kathianne has had extensive experience working with children and families. She is also trained in formal Attachment Assessments & Theraplay interventions and is a Certified Competent Trauma Professional. Kathianne Says, “Having worked with children and their families for over thirty years I have and continue to obtain cutting edge training for the best outcomes for my Clients. I would be happy to work with you to come up with loving interventions for your child and family.”

Dr. Jadah Petty
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Clinical Psychologist
For many adoptees, they have not had the opportunity to explore their adoptive identity and understand how their adoption has shaped the ways they see themselves and others. Understanding the myths around adoption and exploring it means to be adopted is something I can offer in therapy.

Dr. Abrielle Conway, Rooted in Grace Psychological Services
Psychologist, Psy.D., Licensed Psychologist
You're tired of waiting. Everyone else seems to keep on moving, but you're stuck. With every menstrual cycle, you feel the sting of yet another month of not being pregnant. You often question if you will ever be able to have children. The tests and the procedures are taking a toll on your body and your sanity. You don't know how much more you can take. Others around you don't seem to understand that this is more than an impersonal medical procedure. Experiencing infertility and undergoing various medical interventions can create a host of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, and even post-traumatic symptoms. I've taken several trainings on Infertility and Pregnancy Loss through Postpartum Support International, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and the Centre of Perinatal Excellence. I've also worked with individuals traveling this socially isolating journey. Please know that you are not alone. No matter the outcome, you can get through this moment. I would be honored to walk alongside you.
