Nesting Space = coaching and distance Reiki for moms who want to move past feeling depleted to create a warm, connected, imperfect home.
Welcome! I'm Emily, a clinical social worker in the Baltimore area. Venturing out for appointments with a newborn or young baby can be intimidating. While it’s important to become comfortable with doing this eventually, I aim to take some of the stress away from new moms by offering services in their homes. My focus is to work with new moms during the first year of their baby’s life, and then to refer them to other providers after that point should continuing services be indicated. I also work with pregnant women, to help them learn to manage challenges with anxiety and depression so they can prepare for baby. It is also important to include the mother's partner as well, for a full-family approach!
I offer the following in Catonsville, Ellicott City, Columbia, Baltimore, and surrounding areas:
* Screening/assessment for postpartum depression and anxiety, as well as other postpartum mood disorders
* Psychotherapy in clients’ homes
* Couples therapy, regarding adjustment to parenting, in clients’ homes
* Communication with midwives, OB/GYNs, and other healthcare providers (with the client’s consent)
* Phone-based psychotherapy for times when we’re not able to meet in person, or if you live outside of my geographical area (but still in Maryland)
* Referrals to community-based providers as indicated once our therapeutic relationship has ended
Please contact me for information about my fees. I have the ability to offer a sliding scale payment.
Self reflection guides for those who have given birth (yes, c-section is always included!) and for midwives, birth doulas, and OBs.
