Lindsay DeGroot, MEd, LCPC, LSC, LPC
Lindsay provides counseling services for parents during pregnancy, postpartum, and prenatal phases of life -- "baby blues," birth trauma, miscarriage, infant loss, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, and fertility issues.  The human brain undergoes major changes in the perinatal period -- it's important to get caring and empathetic support during this critical time. As a new parent, you need help in order to optimize the major architectural changes in the brain, create a meaningful secure attachment with your new baby, manage the transformation of your family, and do it all in a way that isn't leaving you feeling totally run ragged. Lindsay is here to help. Blue Cross Blue Shield, Medicaid

When this happens, we work collaboratively with families to provide a safe and nonjudgmental “heart-space” within which thoughtful and comprehensive treatment plans are designed.  BCBS, Allegiance, Pacific Source, Montana Health Co-Op
