About Blaire Melius, LCSW PMHC
Therapy for Pregnancy, Postpartum, & Motherhood in MA & NJ
Welcome! My name is Blaire, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker certified in Perinatal Mental Health. I specialize in working with moms across Massachusetts and New Jersey who who are navigating anxiety, stress, trauma, and the emotional shifts that often come with pregnancy, postpartum, & motherhood.
I like to consider myself a very down to earth therapist who feels like an actual human. I will give you concrete tools and strategies, utilize terrible metaphors to explain a concept, chat about reality TV here and there, and sit with you to hold space for the hard you're facing.
I practice psychotherapy using a blend of approaches, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (ICBT). Together, we will explore whatever feels most present for you - whether that's current stressors, past experiences, or patterns that feel hard to break. My work focuses on helping you understand the connection between your thoughts, emotions, body responses, and behaviors, while also giving you practical tools to feel more grounded, regulated, and confident in your day-to-day life.
I graduated from Boston College School of Social Work with a Master of Social Work degree. I have spent the past 10 years working with individuals of all different backgrounds, cultures, religions, and life stages. I understand that therapy can feel vulnerable, especially during the perinatal and postpartum seasons. Creating a space where you feel safe, empowered, and genuinely understood is a top priority. We will collaborate on goals and move at a pace that feels supportive and manageable for you.
Fun facts about Blaire: I love spending time with my family, going for walks, drinking a cup of coffee, and am always down for a good Homegoods or Target run.
