Getting to know Jane Townsend

I specialize in supporting birthing parents and couples who are trying to conceive, navigating pregnancy, adjusting to postpartum life, and moving through the early stages of parenting. This season can bring excitement and hope, but it can also surface anxiety, identity shifts, relationship changes, grief, and overwhelm. You do not have to move through it alone. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. I meet clients where they are, honoring each individual’s unique story, cultural context, and values. Together, we identify practical tools and meaningful strategies that build resilience, reduce distress, and strengthen communication and connection. My goal is to help you feel empowered, validated, and confident in your journey — whether you are preparing to grow your family, coping with fertility challenges, adjusting to new parenthood, or strengthening your partnership along the way. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can show up fully, gain clarity, and move forward with greater self-trust and emotional balance.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Clients often tell me they appreciate that I am both compassionate and practical. When you work with me, you can expect a space that feels supportive, nonjudgmental, and collaborative. I believe therapy works best when you feel safe to be honest about your fears, frustrations, hopes, and uncertainties. I will meet you where you are — whether you are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, uncertain, or simply wanting additional support during a major life transition. My role is not to judge or tell you what to do, but to help you clarify what matters most to you, strengthen your confidence, and develop skills that feel aligned with your values and your family’s needs. Above all, you should know that you do not have to have it all figured out to begin. We will take it one step at a time, together.
