Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in Baltimore, MD

***Telehealth Services for Residents of MD, NJ, PA*** Pregnancy can be an incredible journey. But for some women, it's not. That's why we're here. Matriarch Mental Health serves the perinatal population with psychotherapy and consulting services that are Specialized, Individualized, Comprehensive, and Convenient. If you're having trouble keeping up or feeling "not like myself," then self-compassion and professional support can help be the difference between you burning out or regaining your strength.

“I've been anxious for a long time. I used to be able to manage, but I feel like I've lost control. I worry that I'm going crazy, or that something inside of me is broken. I just want all of this to stop. I want to feel calmer and more confident. I want to look to the future with interest and optimism, rather than with fear and hopelessness. I've tried everything, including medicine, but nothing has worked in a lasting way. I fear I’m running out of options, and that scares me."

***Telehealth Services for the Residents of MD, NJ, PA*** Want to live a more meaningful, productive, and healthy life? My specialty is helping individuals and couples adjust to life transitions, especially maternal mental health related to pregnancy , postpartum , infertility, and child loss. Let's face it— transitions bring high stakes and a narrow margin for error. But these moments are also valuable opportunities to heal, grow, see a brighter future, and actualize your potential.

Are you stuck on autopilot, going through the motions, struggling with burnout and finding ways to get your needs met, while focusing on big life transitions and caring for everyone else? I have a passion for helping caregivers and “people pleasers” whose "spirit animal" might be the chameleon. That is, they blend in with what others need but may feel increasing resentment, lack of direction, and burnout as a result. Imagine what it would feel like to prioritize yourself again. You deserve to honor your needs while engaging in meaningful, balanced relationships and living a more fulfilling life in line with your own values.

Hello! My name is Taylor Liggins, LCPC and provide therapy in Maryland. I studied Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Johns Hopkins University for my Master's Degree and Psychology at American University for my Bachelor's Degree. I have worked with clients helping them navigate their issues associated with pregnancy & postpartum , life stressors, anxiety, stress, depression, mood swings, trauma, relationship difficulties, etc. My treatment approach includes cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational therapy, solution based therapy, and person centered therapy.

I believe that a compassionate and safe therapeutic space should be available and accessible to all parents and parents-to-be. While the family-building journey can be full of joy, it also includes losses big and small. Whether you're navigating pregnancy loss or infertility, healing from a traumatic pregnancy or birth, making sense of perinatal anxiety, experiencing identity changes, or working to be a more present and gentle parent, my goal is to help you follow your intuition to feel confident and connected to yourself and your family.

Please note that I have limited availability for new telehealth clients. My work with individuals addresses emotional regulation, relational difficulties, anxiety management, life transitions, and self-esteem. Additionally, I have received specialized training to work with individuals who are planning a pregnancy , have experienced a miscarriage , are currently pregnant, or are in their postpartum period. My work with parents of young children aims to address stress management, respond to specific behavioral concerns, increase effective communication, and improve the parent-child dynamic.

I believe in the healing power of a therapeutic relationship where you can be the real you. No judgment or criticism here. Maybe you want to break free from unhealthy patterns, work through issues that have been swept under the rug, or find wholeness. Perhaps life isn't going quite the way you'd hoped or expected. Maybe you long to be secure in who you are and embrace all parts of yourself, to move away from self-criticism and toward self-compassion.

Therapy is a challenging and yet exciting process. We strive to provide a safe, supportive and healing space for each of our clients. We are licensed counselors helping adults with varying issues including: relationship issues, neurodivergent individuals, trauma, grief/loss, Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders, Reproductive Concerns, Maternal Mental Health, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem. We also enjoy working with those wanting to explore and understand identity issues, change harmful and unhelpful relationship patterns and those who are looking to increase general self awareness and gain insight.

I am a psychotherapist working in Baltimore County, MD. My specialties are maternal mental health, relationship issues, depression and anxiety disorders. I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a Masters of Social Work in 1999. I am a member of Postpartum Support International and the National Association of Social Workers.

When meeting new clients, I am excited to hear their stories and join them on their journey. I love to support individuals and families who are growing and changing and adjusting, as this is a significant and intense time. Transition in any form is something that I love to focus on, because with transition, comes growth.

I'm here to walk with you on your journey of discovering the more fulfilled life you desire. I specialize in helping parents who are struggling with life changes, anxiety, depression, and balance of responsibilities. Being a mom, dad, or caregiver comes with unique joys and challenges. Maybe you are worrying excessively about your baby, grappling with expectations of parenthood that differ from your reality, having difficulty bonding with your newborn, feeling frustrated by your kids, grieving your loss of independence, coping with a difficult pregnancy or birth experience, or feeling irritable towards your partner.

Welcome! Having practiced social work for over twenty years in a medical setting that focused on both mental and physical health, a holistic and positive approach to treatment is essential. I stress the mind and body connection while taking into account community and environmental factors. Loss comes in many forms and affects all a person’s systems.
