Beth Brown, LICSW, PMH-C

I’ve been working with new and pregnant moms since 2005, working as a birth doula, lactation counselor, prenatal yoga teacher and finally as a psychotherapist. I co-founded and coordinate the Pentucket Perinatal Mental Health Coalition, whose mission is to improve maternal emotional health in the Newburyport through Haverhill area through education, collaboration, support and advocacy. I am certified in perinatal mental health by Postpartum Support International, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) by the EMDR Institute and in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy by the Institute for Integrative Psychiatry. I have my 200-and 300-hour teacher certifications from YogaLife NH in Exeter, NH and my 85-hour prenatal yoga certification from Pranakriya Yoga at Kripalu. I am an EMDR consultant-in-training providing case consultation to other EMDR therapists and have taken all 3 levels of training in Deep Brain Reorienting. I engage in ongoing training and professional consultation and am an active member in the perinatal mental health community both locally and nationally. I am a married mother to two grown sons and the very best Golden Retriever named Maggie. I love to hike, snorkel, scuba dive, ski and snowshoe and be at the beach, in the ocean, and in the woods. I am passionate about supporting women at their most vulnerable and empowering them to the feel like strong and competent mothers. I am rather nerdy about neuroscience and am endlessly fascinated by the body’s capacity to heal. I also really, really like babies. And humor. I love to laugh.
