my name is carli rossall. i practice psychotherapy in the reproductive and perinatal mental health space, providing supports in the areas of grief, trauma, growth, and transition.

i used to have a fancier website. it had multiple pages and was loaded with stock images of stuff i thought ppl would find soothing. (plants, pottery, large bodies of water, etc., etc..) it was tastefully beige. i got my nails done for my headshots. i was a ***tHeRaPiSt*** in THE space.

doing this work for almost a decade now, i’ve learned that part of what can be so difficult about becoming a parent (and conception, birth, or parenting generally) is coming to terms with the fact that it doesn’t always (or often?) look the way we thought it would. or hoped it would. or were told it would, or should.

let’s stop telling and selling each other harmful stories. stories about ease, and intuitively knowing, and instinctively feeling, and gender roles, and meant-to-be, and happening-for-a-reason, and mind over matter, and perspective(!!!), and villages, and normal, and plants, and pottery, and large bodies of water.

instead, i invite you to join me in bringing truth to this space. come with your love, and fear, and pride, and heartache, and joy, and uncertainty, and anger, and wholeness; your past, and your purpose. your gratitude, as well as your grief. i will show up with a commitment to safety, respect, and compassion; my empathy, and experience. 

i open my doors to those who presently identify as parents, or wish to one day become: mothers, fathers, or caregivers; by birth, surrogacy, marriage, or adoption, as well as couples, and those who are navigating the excruciating reality of life after loss.

we work virtually to ensure that your time is respected, and your access is not limited. we move at your desired pace, and there are no expectations. it’s nothing fancy, and that’s exactly the point.
