Integrative Perspectives Counseling and Consulting PC is a psychotherapy practice specializing in anxiety, obsessive thinking, and reproductive and attachment-related trauma, including infertility, pregnancy loss, and the transition to pregnancy and parenthood. We provide trauma-informed, nervous-system-based care—integrating EMDR, attachment work, parts work, and polyvagal theory—to help clients feel safer in their bodies, steadier in their minds, and more connected in their lives and relationships.

A Warm, Supportive Approach
You’ve already carried so much.
You may be balancing hope, grief, fear, excitement, exhaustion, and maybe even guilt — sometimes all in the same moment.
Here, we slow down enough to let you breathe.
To make sense of complicated emotions.
To nourish your nervous system.
To reconnect with your inner wisdom and resilience.
You don’t need to show up “strong”, just show up.

Your lived experiences and values guide the way .This path can feel heavy, confusing, and isolation and we are here to support you.
Together, we create space for healing, clarity, connection, and hope. Book a consultation for right fit or book a first session.
