One of the reasons this work feels so meaningful is because of the seasons it centers around.

Pregnancy, postpartum, and the transition into parenthood are often spoken about as milestones, but not always for the complexity they carry. The shift in identity, the pressure to show up in every role, the quiet expectation to manage it all while continuing to move forward. These are deeply human experiences, yet many individuals and couples move through them without the space or support to fully process what is changing.

Dr. Kristen Ghersi Hering built her work around creating a compassionate space where people can feel heard without judgment.

As a clinical psychologist, a working professional, and a mother, she understands the nuance of these transitions and the expectations that often come with them. Her focus is supporting individuals who are used to functioning at a high level, but who are navigating the internal shifts that can come with parenthood, relationships, and evolving roles.

Her clinical work centers on fertility, perinatal, and postpartum mental health, including postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, life transitions, and the adjustment into new stages of life. She is certified in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C) through Postpartum Support International and has spent nearly a decade working with individuals in both clinical and private practice settings.

While her work is grounded in evidence-based care, it is equally shaped by a belief that therapy should feel thoughtful, steady, and tailored to the person in front of her, not formulaic or one-size-fits-all.

Outside of her work, Dr. Hering enjoys time with her husband and their three daughters, staying active, and finding balance through travel, creativity, and everyday life.
