PERINATAL AND INFERTILITY MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING
Jessica Katz, LICSW, PMH-C, CCFP
My name is Jessica, and I’m a licensed clinical social worker, certified Perinatal Mental Health Therapist, and certified Compassion Fatigue Professional. Empress Counseling was created to help people find the right balance of intuition, connectedness, and nurture as they grow their family.
I know there are infinite choices to make in conceiving and raising children. Parents-to-be can feel left behind and start to doubt themselves. I will help you navigate even the longest and rockiest roads on your journey to parenthood.
Supporting your journey to parenthood is my top priority
If you feel unseen or overwhelmed by a series of doctors, procedures, or societal messaging around having "the perfect family," I would love to help you.

Why Infertility?
I came to specialize in perinatal mental health and infertility when I learned first-hand how important it is to have therapists trained in these areas
Here’s how I help
-
Infertility Counseling
You deserve support if you are having trouble conceiving a child. People being treated with IUI, IVF, or using egg or sperm donors often don’t know how to talk about this, leading to more stress and isolation
-
Pregnancy and Postpartum Mood Changes
Pregnancy can bring on intense feelings of anxiety, sadness, self-criticism, irritability, and guilt, among others. You are not alone
-
Mindful Parenting
No one knows how to love your child better than you. Get support to overcome parent-shaming, and learn how to trust your parenting intuition
