Cailen Gerner

My communication style

My communication style is candid, authentic, and nonjudgmental. I aim to create a warm, relaxed space where you can feel truly heard and supported—especially during times when you’re stretched thin and everything feels like a bit too much.

My journey to mental healthcare

In addition to my clinical expertise, I have been through postpartum depression myself, and I know the avalanche of emotions that can surprise you during the often chaotic beginning of parenthood. I have been there, felt the sleep deprivation and confusion, and have the milk-stained t-shirt to prove it!

My goals for you

Just like every stage of parenting, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to what each mom needs. Whether your goal is to rediscover your voice, feel more connected to your baby, ease overwhelm, release “mom guilt,” or reclaim parts of yourself that feel lost, our work will evolve and grow alongside you.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll focus on getting to know each other and understanding what brings you to therapy. I'll ask about your current challenges, your goals, and what you hope to gain from our work together. This is a safe space for you to share openly, and we'll begin building a foundation for the journey ahead.
