Christina Taillie, LMHC, PMH-C

Hi, I'm Christina and I am so glad you are here. With over 20 years of clinical experience in crisis intervention, trauma-informed care, and grief/loss, my work is rooted in helping individuals find understanding, healing, and a way forward when life feels heavy or stuck.
My own journey to motherhood opened my eyes to the deep need for more support and compassion for women and their partners. It has become my passion to help mothers feel seen, understood, and empowered- to break the stigma that too often stands in the way of getting care. I also offer support to partners, fathers, and family members. With each stage comes challenges and I am here to help find meaningful tools and effective strategies through these changes. 
In addition to being a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I hold a certification in Perinatal Mental Health from PostPartum Support International. 
My heart's work lies in supporting mothers and families as they navigate the profound transitions of pregnancy, birth, and beyond- helping them find steadiness, healing, and hope.
