Jenifer LaNore
I am a highly skilled and compassionate professional dedicated to providing exceptional care and support during the transformative journey of pregnancy and postpartum. With a wealth of knowledge and experience, I bring a unique and comprehensive perspective to my work, ensuring that clients receive the utmost care and understanding. As a Certified Clinical Social Worker and a certified full spectrum doula, I possess a deep understanding of the emotional and psychological aspects of pregnancy and childbirth. My expertise extends to addressing various challenges, including postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and pregnancies impacted by fetal anomalies or loss, such as termination for medical reasons or abortion. In my commitment to staying at the forefront of my field, I am a certified provider in Perinatal Mental Health through Postpartum Support International. This certification demonstrates my dedication to providing evidence-based care and staying informed about the latest advancements in maternal mental health.

Treatment methods
EMDR
EMDR is a structured, evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals process and heal from past trauma. Instead of talking through distressing experiences repeatedly, EMDR allows your brain to reprocess traumatic memories so they feel less overwhelming. It helps the brain ‘unstick’ from the trauma and move toward resolution.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based, goal-oriented form of psychotherapy that focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It is based on the idea that negative thought patterns contribute to emotional distress and maladaptive behaviors.
