Therapy

My work as a full-spectrum doula has shown me just how much our experiences can shape our mental health, relationships, identity, and the way we move through the world.

That's what led me to bring therapy into my practice.

While doula support and therapy are different forms of care, they share a common foundation: creating space for people to feel seen, supported, and empowered. Through therapy, I provide a separate space to explore emotions, patterns, relationships, and experiences that may be impacting your well-being.

While my work is rooted in perinatal mental health, I love working with anyone navigating life's big transitions. Whether you're adjusting to parenthood, processing a loss, exploring your identity, figuring out young adulthood, or rediscovering who you are beyond sports, you don't have to do it alone.

Show up as you are and find support through the seasons that shape you.

I am currently accepting clients in Oregon. Therapy services provided by Kaitlyn LaBonte, CSWA, under the clinical supervision of Christina Tingley, LCSW, at Alignment Collective.

Schedule with me!

Perinatal Mental Health
Support through pregnancy, postpartum, perinatal anxiety, birth experiences, and the emotional transitions that come with becoming a parent.

Reproductive & Life Transitions
Support through fertility, pregnancy loss, reproductive decision-making, sexuality, and the experiences that shape how we understand ourselves.

Identity, Anxiety & Young Adulthood

A space to navigate anxiety, self-discovery, relationships, identity shifts, and the many changes that come with becoming who you are.

Athletes & Identity Beyond Sport

Support for current and former athletes navigating performance pressure, injury, transitions, and life beyond athletics.

Do you work with people who are not pregnant or postpartum?

YES! My work is rooted in supporting people through seasons of change, transition, and growth. While I love working in perinatal mental health, I welcome individuals who are navigating challenges beyond pregnancy and postpartum, including anxiety, life transitions, identity shifts, relationships, grief, trauma, and finding a deeper connection with themselves.

If you’re wondering whether therapy with me may be a good fit, reach out and I'm happy to chat!

What insurances do you accept?

Therapy services are billed through Alignment Collective, where I practice as a Clinical Social Work Associate (CSWA). Coverage depends on your insurance plan, and we currently accept Aetna, Providence, Moda, Optum, UnitedHealthcare, TriWest, Regence BlueCross BlueShield, and Open Card Medicaid (OHP).

How do I schedule an appointment?

It's easiest to reach out directly on the Alignment Collective website. I also welcome you to complete my contact form if you have any questions!

I worked with you as my doula. Can I start therapy with you later?

While doula support and therapy can complement each other, they are two different services with different roles, boundaries, and goals.

Because of the unique nature of the doula relationship, I do not provide therapy to current or former doula clients. This boundary helps protect the integrity of both relationships and ensures you have the space to receive the support that best meets your needs.

If you are interested in both doula support and therapy, I am happy to help you think through which type of support feels like the best fit and connect you with appropriate resources when needed.

How is therapy different from doula support?

Doula support and therapy are both forms of care, but they serve different purposes. Doula support focuses on education, advocacy, preparation, and practical/emotional support throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Therapy is a clinical mental health service focused on exploring patterns, processing experiences, and supporting emotional wellbeing through therapeutic interventions.

While my doula work and therapy work are informed by my experience supporting families through major life transitions, they are separate services with different scopes of practice.
