Pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood bring big shifts physically, mentally, and emotionally. Let's steady the ground beneath your feet so you can feel more supported, present, and yourself again. Some of what you're carrying may trace back to a difficult delivery, a complicated path to conception, or the quiet disorientation of becoming someone new. We'll work through what's actually there, at a pace that respects where you are right now.
Perinatal Mental Health Therapy
Exhausted from carrying the mental load of a new baby, a body still recovering, and a version of yourself you're not sure how to find again. You're doing everything right and still don't feel like you.
YOU'RE NOT SHOWING UP LIKE YOURSELF
A complication, a moment that went sideways, a plan that fell apart in the room. It's over, but part of it hasn't left you yet.
SOMETHING ABOUT THE BIRTH STILL SITS WRONG
Everyone keeps asking how the baby's sleeping. Almost no one's asked how you're actually doing since the day you delivered.
YOU'RE NOT BOUNCING BACK, AND YOU'RE TIRED OF PRETENDING TO
Does this Sound Familiar?
We'll determine which session length to start with during your complimentary consult.
- 110 minutes of dedicated clinical time
- Room to process a birth experience or a hard season fully, without the clock cutting it short
- The same trauma-informed approach, with more space to work
- Flexible scheduling for the realities of life with a new baby
- Confidential care, in person in Bellingham or by telehealth
110-Minute EXTENDED SESSIONS: $400
- 53 minutes of dedicated clinical time
- EMDR and trauma-informed support for pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, or birth trauma
- A clear plan for what we're working on, and why
- Weekly or biweekly scheduling
- Confidential care, in person in Bellingham or by telehealth
53-Minute INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS: $225
Some of what you're carrying needs a standing weekly hour. Some of it needs more room than a standard session gives you, especially when a birth experience or a hard stretch of postpartum hasn't had anywhere to land yet. Both formats use the same trauma-informed approach, adapted to wherever you are in this season.

I’ve hired other photographers before, but no one’s ever captured my brand this clearly. The planning process was super thoughtful, and the shoot itself was honestly fun? I use these photos everywhere.

Before We Start:
What's Included
No open-ended sessions, no wondering what we're actually working toward. Every appointment follows the same intentional structure, whether it's your first visit or your twentieth.
Here's Exactly What's Included, Session By Session
I'm Vickery Rendall, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker based in Bellingham, Washington. I hold a master's degree from Boston University, over fourteen years of clinical experience, and current licensure in multiple states across the US. I see clients in person and by telehealth.
My training includes specialized work in infertility, pregnancy, and postpartum experience, alongside a decade inside emergency departments and medical crisis settings. But some of what I understand about this season didn't come from a training program. I'm a mother myself, and I know what it's like to carry a hard birth story, a long recovery, or a version of yourself you're still trying to find again.
A Clinician, And A Mother
ABOUT YOUR THERAPIST
No. Many people I work with are navigating something real and difficult that doesn't fit neatly into a diagnosis, whether that's a birth experience that didn't go as planned, ongoing infertility, or simply not feeling like themselves since becoming a parent.
Do I need to have a diagnosed perinatal mood disorder to benefit from this?
Yes. Perinatal support isn't limited to the immediate postpartum window. If a past pregnancy or birth experience is still affecting you, this work can help regardless of how much time has passed.
I have older children. Is this still for me?
Yes. Partners navigating infertility, pregnancy, or the transition into parenthood alongside someone else are welcome here too.
I'm not the one who's pregnant. Can I still come in?
A 53-minute session works well for ongoing, weekly processing. A 110-minute session gives more room when something, like reprocessing a difficult birth experience, needs time to fully unfold without the clock cutting it short mid-process.
