Embrace your new role, navigate the changes and challenges, & become the mother you want to be
Are you feeling disconnected from yourself, possibly grieving the loss of independence, freedom, and your former lifestyle? Is your day consumed with anxiety about your baby’s health, safety, or well-being or maybe you find yourself battling intrusive thoughts that feel frightening or shameful? Perhaps you’re also struggling with body image concerns, breastfeeding, or relationship strain.
Whatever the present challenge, Kindra can help new mothers process birth experiences, feel more confident and grounded in motherhood, and develop trust in their instincts and parenting decisions.
You’re not alone…
The journey into motherhood likely overwhelms us all. However, you may also be a part of the 15-20% of mothers who experience symptoms of depression, anxiety, or some other mental health concern at some point from pregnancy to a year following childbirth. You are not alone in your perinatal distress. And more importantly to emphasize, nothing is inherently wrong with you because of your current struggles.
Rather, you are responding to being hormonally compromised, extremely sleep deprived, physically exhausted and uncomfortable, distracted, under a myriad of ever growing demands, and feeling all at the same time as though you have to be some sort of super human and keep it all together.
You want to start therapy, but you feel like you don’t have the time
Carving out time for your own hygiene and sustenance is likely a small victory right now; you might be asking yourself, “How might I also make space for a therapy appointment?!?”. I want you to know that I hear you, as I recall those days so acutely. Yet, I also want to communicate the grave importance of creating space for yourself right now, to nurture your ever fatigued body and mind, to address any potential mental health concerns, and to allow you a place to explore the woman you were before the baby and the woman you are now becoming.

Motherhood is a gift…but it’s also one of life’s most profound transitions
Motherhood is arguably one of the most unique, transformative experiences a woman will ever encounter. Within my therapy office, my desire is to create a safe space where a woman can express/explore all her thoughts, fears, emotions without fear of judgment; empathy and understanding will ideally reduce any feelings of guilt, isolation, loneliness, and make each woman feel unequivocally held and accepted.
Kindra will prioritize your mental health without making you feel flawed in any way. Please, come as you are. I would feel honored to join you in navigating through this very delicate, challenging, and personal road into motherhood.

Meet your Postpartum therapist
I’m Kindra Westercamp a psychologist in Charleston, SC specializing in couples therapy, postpartum therapy, anxiety/trauma therapy, as well as grief work. For over 15 years, I have been providing therapy to adult men and women in a warm, compassionate, non-judgmental space full of plants and messages of hope.
I recall becoming a mother of two girls under 2, and there were many tears shed during the witching hour for all three of us in the first six months. I found that growing my family from one to two children was extremely challenging, and I often felt overstimulated and in-over-my-head. I want to help new mothers, like I had been once, navigate the challenges inherent in motherhood and feel more confident and able.
From pregnancy through postpartum and beyond, you deserve support for whatever challenges you’re facing- not just the milestones you’re celebrating. Whatever brings you to therapy during this season of motherhood, Westercamp Counseling provides a compassionate space to process, heal, and find your footing again.

Do you accept insurance?
I do not accept insurance, but I will be more than happy to offer you an itemized bill that you can use to file for yourself, as you may be able to receive reimbursement for our sessions. I recommend calling your insurance company to inquire about out of network coverage. Here is a short list of pertinent questions to ask when calling:
- Out of Pocket Cost; “What is my out of pocket responsibility?”
- Reimbursement Rate; “What is my reimbursement rate?”
- Forms and Receipts; “Do I need to submit any forms and receipts to receive reimbursement?”
- Submitting Forms; “How do I submit the forms?”
- Reimbursement Deadline; “Is there a deadline for my reimbursement?”
- Prior Authorization; “Do I need a prior authorization to receive reimbursement?”
- Additional Notes; “Is there anything else I need to do/know?”
How long will I be in therapy?
The duration of therapy varies considerably from person to person, so unfortunately there is not a definitive answer to this question. There will be discussions over the course of therapy about your progress, as well as whether or not you are continuing to benefit. Decisions regarding termination will optimally be made by both therapist and client.
