Bryden Spevak, LCSW

I specialize in perinatal mental health, supporting individuals with warmth and expertise as they navigate anxiety, trauma, fertility challenges, and the emotional transitions of pregnancy and early parenthood.

I’m a perinatal therapist who is passionate about supporting individuals through the emotional complexity of trying to conceive, pregnancy, postpartum, early parenthood, and experiences of fertility challenges or pregnancy loss. This season of life can bring profound change, vulnerability, and unexpected emotional intensity — even when things look “good” on the outside. Many of the people I work with feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves or their bodies, or unsure how to find steadiness again in an increasingly demanding world.

My work is grounded in warmth, collaboration, and evidence-based care. I integrate approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based practices, narrative therapy, and EMDR to gently process trauma, calm the nervous system, and build practical tools for emotional resilience and self-trust. I tailor therapy to each person’s unique story, values, and nervous system rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

I deeply respect how vulnerable it can feel to reach out for support, especially during tender life transitions. I believe strongly in each person’s innate capacity for healing and growth, and I see therapy as a space to reconnect with the wisdom and strength that already exist within you. My hope is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and supported as you move through this chapter with greater clarity, self-compassion, and ease.
