Accepting Perinatal Mental Health Referrals in Los Angeles & Across California

Ana Velouise (she), LMFT, PMH-C

Thank you for your interest in referring to Well Parent Therapy! My practice is dedicated exclusively to reproductive, perinatal, and parental mental health.

I work with people navigating the emotional challenges that can arise during trying to conceive and fertility treatments, pregnancy loss, birth trauma, postpartum adjustment, and parenting. My practice focuses on helping clients process complex reproductive and parental experiences and develop practical tools for coping during this season of life.

My services include:

Areas of Specialization & Common Referral Reasons

As a Perinatal Mental Health Certified clinician (PMH-C), my work focuses specifically on the psychological impact of reproductive and perinatal experiences.

My approach integrates trauma-informed therapy with practical coping strategies to help clients stabilize emotionally while processing difficult experiences and developing a positive relationship with self. I have additional training in EMDR therapy for trauma and fertility counseling for those growing their family through assisted reproductive technologies.

  • Patients may benefit from perinatal mental health support when they are experiencing:

    • persistent anxiety during TTC, pregnancy, after loss

    • emotional distress following pregnancy loss

    • difficulty coping with infertility or fertility treatment

    • emotional overwhelm after a complicated delivery or NICU stay

    • postpartum anxiety, depression, or difficulty adjusting to parenthood

    Early intervention can often prevent symptoms from becoming more severe and help patients feel more supported during this transition.

    Referrals are welcome even when patients are not experiencing severe symptoms but may benefit from additional emotional support during the perinatal period.

  • I frequently receive referrals from fertility clinics and reproductive endocrinologists for patients navigating the emotional impact of fertility treatment. Therapy can support individuals and couples coping with IVF cycles, difficult medical decisions, treatment setbacks, and the uncertainty that often accompanies infertility. I also offer intended parent consultations for third-party reproduction.

    If you regularly work with patients navigating infertility or fertility treatment, I welcome the opportunity to serve as a mental health referral resource for your practice.

    If you’d like to refer a patient for their intended/recipient parent consultation, you can do so here.


  • I value collaborative care to improve treatment outcomes and welcome communication with referring providers when appropriate and with client consent. I welcome ongoing referral relationships with perinatal care providers who are looking for a trusted mental health resource for their patients.

    With a signed ROI, I am happy to:

    • communicate about treatment progress

    • collaborate with prescribers regarding medication support

    • provide recommendations for additional perinatal resources
