About Anna Byrd, LMHC
Therapy for Pregnancy, Postpartum, & Motherhood in Massachusetts
​
Welcome! My name is Anna, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. With advanced training from Postpartum Support International, I specialize in working with women who are on the journey of pregnancy, postpartum, and/or motherhood.
​
Therapy for Moms Across Massachusetts
​
I offer psychotherapy sessions to new and experienced moms in Massachusetts tailored to your unique experiences, providing a space to explore whatever is on your mind - past, present, or both. Together, we’ll uncover patterns, deepen your understanding of the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and equip you with tools to navigate them. When beneficial, I can also incorporate movement therapy, using the body as a powerful tool for healing and self-expression.​​
​
​While I work with individuals navigating a variety of concerns, I have additional specialized training in Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (i-CBT), an evidence-based approach for treating OCD and anxiety. This allows me to support clients who may be experiencing intrusive thoughts, compulsive patterns, or persistent worry with targeted, research-backed interventions.
​
I graduated from Lesley University with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a specialty in Dance/Movement Therapy. Therapy is a deeply personal experience, and my priority is creating a space where you feel safe, supported, and empowered. We’ll set goals together, moving at a pace that feels right for you, ensuring that each step aligns with your comfort and needs.
​
If you're looking for therapy for new moms, postpartum therapy, or pregnancy therapy in Massachusetts, I'd love to connect.
