Welcome! I’m glad you are here.
Wherever you are in your perinatal journey, you will receive care that goes above and beyond, and truly nurtures you.
Empowering you in this season of life
Hi I’m Brooke Manley, Licensed Professional Counselor and Founder of Perinatal Wellness, LLC. My purpose is to create a nurturing space for individuals who are pregnant, postpartum, or experiencing fertility challenges.
Whether you are experiencing overwhelm, low mood, anxiety, intrusive/negative thoughts- you are not alone. There are an array of thoughts {some intrusive} and feelings {some wildly uncomfortable} that come alongside trying to conceive, experiencing loss, and transitioning to parenthood. I honor that there are complex changes that are happening organically {ahem hormones}, and that often times there are generational cycles ready for change.
My goal is to provide space and grace for whatever the situation is. You will hear frequent reminders that you are the best mom, and are able to do hard things!
Experiencing Motherhood
Navigating the journey from preconception through postpartum, and onward into the ever-evolving landscape of parenting and perimenopause, presents unique challenges in every phase. Remember, seeking support at any stage is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Birth Trauma & Loss
Experiencing birth trauma or loss can leave lasting emotional scars. Perinatal Wellness offers a safe and supportive space to navigate these profound experiences, providing tools for healing and fostering resilience. Reaching out is a courageous step toward finding peace and well-being.
Infertility
Facing infertility can be an emotionally challenging journey filled with uncertainty. You will receive compassionate support to navigate the complexities of infertility, offering coping strategies, and a safe space to process the range of feelings that may arise. Seeking support can empower you on your path forward.
Testimonials
“Every week I walk out of Brooke’s office I leave with another tool in my tool kit. Motherhood is a constantly changing, demanding and multifaceted job. Being able to communicate with someone who helps make sense of one of the most wonderfully challenging life changes and also gives you the tools you need to cope with any unwanted feelings is truly life changing.”
“I’ve been working with Brooke for about 6 months and I can’t express how much I appreciate the space she has created for me to feel seen and heard. She has helped me feel validated with my feelings—especially around parenting, past trauma, and learning to set healthy boundaries. One of the most powerful shifts has been learning that I don’t need to feel guilty for protecting my peace and prioritizing my emotional well-being. Brooke’s guidance has been compassionate, steady, and genuinely empowering. I’m grateful for her support on this journey and it truly has helped change me for the better.”
“After having my first child, I was so excited to find someone who specialized in perinatal/postpartum mental health support. Brooke is extremely knowledgeable and held space for all of my feelings. It was also nice to talk to someone who also has small children and can relate to the wonderfully hard job of being a mom ❤️”

Out of Network
At Perinatal Wellness, we are an out-of-network (OON) provider. While this means payment for the full session rate is due at the time of your visit, we understand that utilizing your insurance benefits may be important to you. Upon request, we will gladly provide you with a Super Bill, which you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.
Cancellation Policy
Your appointment time is reserved just for you. A late cancellation or missed visit leaves a hole in the therapists' day that could have been utilized by another client. As such, we require 48 hours notice for any cancellations or changes to your appointment. With advanced notification of a cancellation, we can fulfill all client scheduling needs and keep the clinic operating at its most efficient level. We will work with you as much as possible to come up with alternatives. These policies are in place to ensure all clients get equal access to treatment and our therapists' time is valued.

Bring your baby! My office is on the second floor, so please be mindful of maneuvering them up a flight of stairs. Once they enter my office, they will be welcomed with open arms and my own kids favorite toys. I will modify my office as needed to fit your needs, no problem. Feeding your baby as you do is totally welcome.
