Becoming a parent can shift everything-your identity, your relationships, your nervous system.

And for a lot of women, it’s not talked about honestly.

Anxiety. Disconnection. Rage. Guilt.
Feeling like you “should” be happier than you are.

If that’s been your experience, you’re not doing it wrong.
You’re human, and you deserve support through it.

That’s why having a clinician specifically trained in perinatal mental health matters.

Caitlin is a licensed therapist and certified in treating:
• Postpartum depression & anxiety
• Birth trauma
• Identity and relationship shifts
• Emotional overwhelm in pregnancy & postpartum

You don’t have to figure this out alone.

Not all therapy is trained for pregnancy + postpartum.

That’s why this matters 👇

Our very own Caitlin Lachney just earned her Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C)- a huge milestone that means specialized support for women navigating:
postpartum depression, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, identity shifts, and the emotional weight no one really prepares you for.

If this season has felt heavier than expected, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to push through it by yourself.

So proud of you, Caitlin! This is big for so many women. 🤍

Many people come to therapy after realizing the same struggles or relationship patterns keep repeating.

Emily Starr, M.S., LPC-TAC, founded Aligned Living Counseling and serves as its clinical director. She maintains a limited caseload while also working closely with new inquiries to help connect clients with the therapist on the Aligned Living team who best fits their needs.

She works with college students and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment wounds, self-worth struggles, and relationship concerns. Her approach blends Internal Family Systems, cognitive and experiential work, and attachment-based therapy to help clients understand how past experiences shape present patterns.

Her work also takes a whole-person approach to mental health—recognizing that emotional wellbeing is influenced not only by our experiences and relationships, but also by factors like sleep, movement, nutrition, and connection.

Sessions are compassionate, direct, and holistic, integrating traditional therapy, nature-based outdoor therapy sessions on local trails, and animal-assisted support with her registered therapy dog, Ellie.

Aligned Living Counseling is located in Fayetteville, Arkansas, with limited availability in Fort Smith. In-person and virtual sessions are available to support clients throughout the region.

The practice accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield, QualChoice, Ambetter, and Municipal insurances, with out-of-network billing support and self-pay options available.

If you’re ready to build stronger self-trust and begin shifting unhealthy patterns, this could be a supportive place to start.

Sometimes healing begins with feeling safe.

Ellie is a 3-year-old Goldendoodle who is Canine Good Citizen certified through the American Kennel Club and a registered therapy dog with the Alliance of Therapy Dogs. She is trained to provide comfort, reduce stress, and help create a welcoming therapy environment.

She accompanies clients during in-office sessions and outdoor therapy experiences, offering a steady, grounding presence on the trail and in the therapy room.

She specializes in snuggles, gentle greetings, and sitting quietly beside someone during difficult conversations. Whether easing first-session nerves, walking alongside a client outdoors, or simply being present, Ellie helps make the work feel more approachable.

Her favorite things include hiking, stuffed animals, belly rubs, and making new friends.

Ellie is available during in-person sessions in Fayetteville.

If a calm, comforting presence — indoors or outdoors — would help you feel more at ease, this could be a supportive place to begin.

What you feed grows.
What you starve fades.

Fear erodes trust.
Stress clouds gratitude.
Rushing steals presence.
Doubt delays movement.
Ego distances love.

But shift the direction and everything changes.

Trust quiets fear.
Gratitude softens stress.
Presence slows the rush.
Action dissolves doubt.
Love humbles ego.

Your internal world shapes your relationships.
Choose intentionally. 🌿
