Motheroots Transitions

It's a Collaboration

Motheroots Counseling is a collaboration between independent therapists, Gaby Donnell, LCSW and Laurie Cox, LCSW. Over the past 30 years we have been privileged to accompany families on their journey to parenthood, with the challenges of infertility, the traumas of childbirth and the profound grief of infant and child loss. Gratefully over the past decades awareness of the intense challenges of postpartum depression, anxiety, OCD and psychosis has increased. Resources and training in our community and across the globe have arisen to address the issues of perinatal and postpartum needs. While these healthcare needs have become more apparent, the current political climate has rapidly changed policy and funding for reproductive care. Gaby and Laurie continue to advocate for reproductive care and are grateful for the large community of providers in Portland doing the same.

At this time, Gaby and Laurie are reducing their clinical practice and exploring other avenues to support women and families on this journey. Laurie is available on a limited basis to support individuals referred by their healthcare providers for short-term targeted EMDR. Gaby and Laurie are also available to provide consultation and support to healthcare providers. In addition we plan to offer group gatherings to address impacts during these challenging times.
