I’m jumping up and down with excitement to share that my expanding my offerings to including group supervision for perinatal mental health clinicians.

I have received so many inquiries from therapists wanting support in working with clients going through reproductive health challenges, pregnancy, postpartum, loss, grief, anxiety, depression and birth trauma and I’m stoked be be offering a space for therapists to gather, connect, learn and grow.

This group is ideal for:
* Therapists providing care to pregnant and postpartum clients
* Clinicians seeking specialized support around perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs), birth trauma, and parental identity shifts
* Providers who value a relational, trauma-informed, and inclusive lens in their work

What to expect:
*Case consultation and clinical discussion *Evidence-based approaches for perinatal mental health
*Ethical considerations and best practices
*Community and professional support

This is a small-group format, ensuring space for meaningful discussion and individualized feedback.

Location: virtual via Google Meet
Schedule: 2nd Friday of each month, 11:30am-1:30pm
Cost: $60/hr
Send me a message if you are interested in joining.

Just a few snap shots and poetry from the third weekend of interpersonal neurobiology, as we leaned into the felt sense of our inner communities. Feeling so deeply grateful for this time and the wonderful, warm humans that are making this experience so rich and healing.

If you know me, you likely are aware that I’m someone who loves to learn and grow…I consider myself a “forever student”.

And I have been learning more about clinical supervision and am thrilled to be expanding my offerings to include group supervision for CSWAs working toward licensure in Oregon.

You can expect a supportive group that will offer you opportunity to learn and develop.
I love to nerd out on embodied healing practices, interpersonal neurobiology, relational and experiential learning, attachment theory and working with people in diverse settings.

One of my biggest fears going into private practice was worrying about feeling isolated. Coming from working in clinic settings, with lots of collaboration, I knew the importance of partnering and learning from those around me.

What I didn’t know about private practice, was that you get to choose your coworkers. 🤩 These fellow therapists have been ridiculously supportive and I benefit so much from their brilliance and passion for perinatal mental health.

Feeling so grateful for the chance to retreat with these amazing humans, learn from each other, consult and enjoy this beautiful scenery together.

Hi! Just popping in here to show my face and say hello!

December 4th is the 3 year anniversary of Root & Bloom Counseling officially being open. Moving from working in agencies and clinics to private practice was a very anxiety provoking time. And I’m so, so glad I made the shift. While it would take another year and a half before I would fully leave the “safety net” of being a clinic social worker, it has been such a wonderful change.

On this anniversary, I’m happy to announce that after over a decade in the field, I’m expanding and adding clinical supervision to my offerings. I have been so fortunate to have many supportive supervisors in my career and I’m excited to be able to offer the same to those seeking supervision.

I’m lucky to be partnering with Ariana Lloyd, LCSW in this process. You can learn more at https://www.arianalloydlcsw.com/margot-strauhull-lcsw.
