Therapy for the season when everything changes - and you need someone in your corner.

Welcome!

I'm Megan Hartley, a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and certified perinatal mental health therapist (PMH-C) based in Long Beach, California.

I work exclusively with women during their reproductive years - whether you're trying to conceive, currently pregnant, or navigating the wild, wonderful, exhausting world of new motherhood. This is a season that deserves real, specialized support, and that's exactly what I'm here to provide.

We're really good as a society at preparing for the baby. The nursery, the stroller research, the 47 tabs open about sleep schedules. But how you're doing? That often gets lost in the shuffle. I want to change that - one conversation at a time.

You deserve a safe space to come and process all that you are experiencing and feeling. You deserve care and support from a trained mental health professional who understands. I know it can feel impossible to make time to care for yourself, but you are important and worthy of good care! Healing is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone.

Issues Treated

  • Pregnancy Anxiety & Depression

  • Birth Trauma

  • Postpartum Depression & Anxiety

  • Intrusive Thoughts (more common than you think — and very treatable!)

In-person and remote options

You don’t have to do this alone. Start your journey towards healing, today.
