Melissa Ryan O’Keefe

Are you currently pregnant and anxious about your birth experience? Becoming a mother is a life changing experience. Many moms struggle balancing the demands of motherhood. It is not easy to ask for help. You don’t need to suffer alone. Although mothers are caregivers, they also need to receive care. I am here to listen and to assist in strengthening families. I practice with a person-centered approach and have extensive knowledge about parenting and infant attachment. Babies are always welcome in session. I also enjoy working with individuals on creating meaningful life experiences and in overcoming difficult challenges. I specialize in supporting families and walking with them on their journey through parenthood. I focus on empowering pregnant mothers and helping to process birth experiences. I work with postpartum depression and anxiety as well as everyday motherhood stress. I facilitate a mother’s support group and utilize art to help to understand inner feelings. I am trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy and attachment focused family therapy. I strive to create a secure and compassionate environment in which personal development and self-awareness are at the heart of it. I work with families as well as individuals from every age group.
