Meridith Griffin Bertwell Psychotherapy, LLC

I’m a psychotherapist specializing in perinatal and maternal mental health, supporting clients from trying to conceive through pregnancy, postpartum, and the years of parenting that follow. My own life experiences drew me to this work, and after a first career, I consider it my life’s work.

I work with clients navigating:

-Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, including anxiety about becoming a parent

-Infertility and the strain of trying to conceive

-Miscarriage, pregnancy loss, and infant loss

-Birth trauma

-Body distrust or disconnection after fertility treatment, pregnancy, or birth

-Identity shifts, changing roles and relationships, and other major life transitions

My approach is psychodynamic, attachment-based, and somatic, grounded in trauma-informed care. I pay close attention to how early relationships shape the way clients feel, connect, and see themselves now, and I integrate body-based work to help clients rebuild trust in their bodies as a source of strength and recovery. I hold cultural background, identity, and the wider social context as central to understanding mental health, and I work collaboratively at the client’s pace.

I completed my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Regis University, with a perinatal mental health internship, and I’m pursuing my PMH-C through Postpartum Support International.

My private practice opens in Longmont in late 2026, offering in-person and virtual sessions. I accept most insurance and Medicaid, along with private pay and sliding-scale fees.

I welcome referrals from OBs, midwives, doulas, fertility clinics, lactation consultants, and fellow therapists, and I’m always glad to connect with colleagues in the perinatal space.
