“A woman is the full circle. Within her is the power to create, nurture and transform”
Diane Mariechild
Motherhood is certainly not the only space to use for creative, nurturing and transformative energy. And, for those who are mothers, this life role is often the space where our energy is spent, sometimes to depletion. For new and expectant mothers, it can be exceptionally hard to engage in restorative practices to replenish and revive your energy. Expectations both spoken and unspoken from others and from yourself can be overwhelming. It is difficult to sit with the negative emotions of motherhood and even harder to talk about them.
Mama, I see you and I’m here to listen and support.
OUR SERVICES
WOMEN'S THERAPY
At Bates Counseling and Consultation Services LLC, we specialize in creating safe spaces for women to move from healing to healed to whole. Because it’s a journey. And we all need a place for rest and renewal; a place for peace and processing. We provide trauma-informed, culturally sensitive therapy to women of all ages and in all life stages. Whether you are dealing with work stress, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, or any other mental health concern, we are here to support you in your journey to wellness.
SELF-ESTEEM & IDENTITY
Building healthy self-esteem and a positive identity is essential for your mental health and well-being. Our therapists can help you explore your values, beliefs, and strengths, and develop a sense of self-worth and confidence. We offer individual and group therapy sessions for women who are struggling with body image issues, self-doubt, and other challenges related to self-esteem and identity.
COUPLES THERAPY
Our couples therapy sessions aim to help you and your partner build stronger and healthier relationships. We use evidence-based techniques to help you communicate better, resolve conflicts, and deepen your emotional connection. Our therapists are trained to work with couples from all backgrounds and orientations.
LIFE TRANSITIONS & ADJUSTMENTS
Life is full of transitions and adjustments, and sometimes they can be overwhelming. We offer therapy sessions to help you navigate life's changes and challenges, such as career transitions, relationship changes, and aging. Our therapists provide a supportive and non-judgmental space for you to explore your feelings and goals, and develop practical strategies to cope with stress and uncertainty.
MOTHERHOOD & PARENTING
Motherhood and parenting can be challenging, but you don't have to go through it alone. We offer therapy sessions for mothers and parents who are struggling with postpartum depression, anxiety, parenting stress, and other challenges that come with raising children. Our therapists provide a safe and supportive space for you to share your experiences and feelings, and offer practical tools and strategies to help you build a healthier and happier family.

Losing a loved one can be one of the most difficult experiences in life. Our therapists provide a compassionate and supportive space for you to process your grief and loss, and work towards healing and acceptance. We offer individual and group therapy sessions for women who are dealing with the loss of a loved one, a pet, or a life transition.
ANXIETY & DEPRESSION
Anxiety and depression can be debilitating, but they are treatable. Our therapists use evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) to help you manage your symptoms and improve your quality of life. We also offer support groups and workshops to help you learn coping skills and connect with others who are going through similar experiences.
STRESS MANAGEMENT
Stress is a normal part of life, but when it becomes too much to handle, it can affect your mental and physical health. Our therapists offer stress management techniques and coping skills to help you reduce stress and improve your overall well-being. We also offer workshops and groups to help you learn relaxation techniques, mindfulness, and other stress-reducing practices.
TRAUMA & ABUSE RECOVERY
Recovering from trauma and abuse can be a long and difficult journey, but it is possible. Our trauma-informed therapists provide a safe and compassionate space for you to process your experiences and work towards healing and recovery. We use evidence-based therapies such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) to help you overcome the effects of trauma and build resilience.
ANGER MANAGEMENT
Anger is a natural human emotion, but when it becomes uncontrollable, it can lead to negative consequences. Our therapists offer anger management techniques and strategies to help you manage your anger and express it in healthy ways. We use evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to help you develop emotional regulation skills and improve your relationships.
