Since the season’s changing, people have been asking:

“What do you do with nature therapy in the winter?!” ❄️

We do it “choose your adventure” style! 👇

1. If this is your vibe: 💻☕️🕯️, we can meet online.

2. If you’re up for a brisk stroll: 🌲❄️🧣, we’ll layer up & go outside.

3. Best of both worlds? We mix and match! (Some 💻☕️, some 🌲🧣)

✨Intrigued?✨

Reach out for a complimentary consultation call and we’ll design therapy for this season of your life. 👌

Stop the scroll, let’s take a stroll…

🍂💛🍁

If you’re a mom or mom-to-be who could use a breath of fresh air in this season, come join us. We’ll gather here one more time to close out our fall series of Flourish in Motherhood. Babies in wearable carriers or strollers are welcome to join, or come solo or with a friend!

We’ll focus on mindfulness, self-compassion, connection, & stress and anxiety relief. This is workshop style & experiential. That means it isn’t therapy, though the benefits are definitely therapeutic. (For therapy, ask me how I combine this with evidenced-based mental health care in one on one sessions, in nature or virtually!)

🗓️: Friday, Nov 7th

⌚️: 10-11:15am

See you there! 💜

This morning I had the privilege of meeting with a colleague and her adorable baby for maternity leave breakfast. 🍳 Yes, Maternity Leave Breakfast is a thing!

Our conversation + the heart shape on my Vanilla Lavender Oatmilk Latte reminded me why supporting women in their journey of matrescence is so rooted in my heart & soul. 💜

It’s such a special, powerful, and vital transitional time. We all need and deserve support.

I’m not just a perinatal therapist who supports this transition. I’m also a friend, a colleague, a neighbor, & a fellow mom who truly gets it and has your back. 💖

If you’re a fellow mama or soon-to-be mama who would benefit from support, please know that’s why people like me are here. Reach out! ☀️

P.S.- That latte was amazing. Highly recommend! ☕️

POV:

You’re a mom who’s feeling stretched thin, worn out, and overwhelmed by keeping up with everything. Each day blends into the other and you’re longing for some sense of novelty, joy, and a few moments of peace in the middle of the chaos.

You’re finding it hard to keep up with your relationships, or, you’re experiencing more conflict lately and it feels suffocating. You can feel your stress levels in the tightness of your chest, the tension in your shoulders, and the shortness of your breath.

You feel lost, but deep down you know she’s still in there. That woman who longs to be seen, cared for, and understood. She just needs a helping hand to get back in touch with who she is, to breathe easier, to find joy again, and to reconnect with the people who mean the most.

You discover that actually, parenting does come with a guide. Her name is nature. She’s in you, around you, and waiting to reconnect. She’ll hold you like you hold your children, and I’ll be right beside you.✨🍂

💜🌿💜

Good morning from Baltimore. Remember to look up today. 🌅

Feeling overwhelmed during pregnancy or postpartum? You’re not alone.

Did you know 1 in 5 mothers experience a perinatal mood or anxiety disorder (PMAD)? Anxiety, sadness, and overwhelm are common—and with specialized support, you can feel more grounded, confident, and connected to yourself and your baby.

I’m Lauren Bathgate, LCSW-C, PMH-C, and I help parents navigate pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood with evidence-based care and nature-informed strategies. I’ve contributed to Postpartum Support International and presented at the PSI Annual Conference on “Bringing Mothers Back to Nature.”

In therapy with me, you’ll learn tools to manage stress and emotions, reconnect with your body, and feel more like yourself again—sometimes even outdoors in nature.

You don’t have to do this alone.
