Laura Navarro Pickens, LCSW

If you’re feeling lost after welcoming a newborn, weighed down by grief after pregnancy or infant loss, exhausted and out of balance, or overwhelmed by anxiety or past trauma, you don’t have to face it alone. You've found a safe place to begin. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of experience supporting individuals and families through postpartum adjustment, grief, infertility, and trauma. My work blends empathy with evidence-based approaches, like EMDR therapy, which can help release the emotional weight of traumas like birth complications, NICU experiences, or sudden loss. My journey into specializing in this area is personal. Having experienced postpartum depression and pregnancy loss, I intimately know the pain, confusion, and loneliness that often come with new parenthood or loss. My lived experiences give me deeper empathy and a strong commitment to helping others find hope. Therapy sessions are available via telehealth or in-person visits available on Mondays. House calls, training, consultation, community education, and group therapy are also available by request.
