Melissa Craven, LMFT, PMH-C

Pregnancy and early parenthood are full of wonder and worry.  So many changes in such little time!  You are more vulnerable to overwhelming emotions and self-criticism.  It’s a period in which you’re confronting unhelpful patterns passed down from generations.  Sometimes it feels like too much.  In this time of adjustment, there is also so much possibility.  I’d like to help you see beyond the stressors of this moment. I’d love to help you enjoy it more.  I am the mother of two, I completed the doula training at Natural Resources, and I have fifteen years experience as an expressive arts therapist and MFT at UCSF.  In my private practice I  help people like you build skills to creatively cope with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and psychosis. My specialization includes a certification in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C).  You can learn methods to calm, clarify, and tap into new viewpoints.  You can do this!
