Perinatal & Postpartum Mental Health · Oregon & Washington
You don’t have to carry this journey alone.
Nobody tells you how much the journey to parenthood can ask of you.
The sleepless nights of trying to conceive. The appointments, the waiting, the hoping. The pregnancy that brought more anxiety than joy. The birth that didn't go the way you planned. The postpartum days that felt nothing like the pictures. The grief that showed up when you least expected it — and stayed longer than anyone said it would.
Whatever part of this journey you're in right now — you deserve support that actually understands it.
Nearly 1 in 8 people face fertility struggles or pregnancy loss (PSI), and nearly 12% of couples experience infertility (ACOG). You are not the exception. You are not alone. And what you're feeling makes complete sense given everything you're carrying.
At L.C.N. Wellness, we specialize in perinatal and postpartum mental health — and we approach it the way it deserves to be approached. With warmth. With cultural responsiveness. With clinical tools that actually work. Our integrative perinatal care combines trauma-informed therapy, perinatal coaching, Reiki healing, and mind-body wellness and nourishment support to meet you where you are — mind, body, and spirit.
We follow Postpartum Support International (PSI) best practices because your care should be rooted in both research and real human experience. There's no perfect guidebook for this. But you don't have to figure it out alone.

NOW FORMING · POSTPARTUM SUPPORT GROUP
Mood Swings & Milk Stains
A Postpartum Support Group Where Real Talk Is Welcome
Postpartum is messy, beautiful, exhausting, and overwhelming — often all in the same hour. Mood Swings & Milk Stains™ is a virtual postpartum support group for new parents who are done pretending it’s all going smoothly.
This is a space to exhale. To say the things you’re afraid to say out loud. To be witnessed by people who actually get it — facilitated by Lenora Johnson, LCSW-S, a licensed clinical social worker who has been supporting perinatal mental health for over a decade.
No performance required. No perfect parenting stories. Just honest conversation, real coping tools, and a community that reminds you — you are doing better than you think.
The postpartum period can feel isolating. Community interrupts that. This group was built to remind you that you are not the only one feeling this way.
GROUP DETAILS
• Format: Virtual | Secure Telehealth
• Available: Oregon, Washington, and Nationwide
• Facilitated by: Lenora Johnson, LCSW-S
• Who it’s for: New parents navigating the postpartum experience
• Approach: Trauma-informed, culturally responsive, affirming
Maternal Health Advocacy · L.C.N. Wellness
Your Life Matters. Your Safety Matters. We Advocate for Both.
Black women in the United States are nearly three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications than white women. Indigenous women face similarly devastating rates. These disparities persist across income levels, education levels, and access to care, which means this is not a poverty issue or an access issue alone. It is a systemic issue. And it demands a clinical response.
At L.C.N. Wellness, we believe that perinatal mental health care is inseparable from maternal safety advocacy. We show up for our clients not just as therapists, but as advocates who understand the specific risks and systemic failures that people of color face throughout the perinatal journey.
We help you prepare to advocate for yourself in medical settings. We validate your instincts when something feels wrong. We help you find language for the moments when you are dismissed, minimized, or overlooked by providers who should be listening. And we stand with you in the spaces where the system has historically failed people who look like you.
Lenora Johnson, LCSW-S serves as a March for Babies Team Captain in Oregon and as an Alliance Representative for an Oregon perinatal support chapter — because changing maternal mortality rates requires showing up beyond the therapy room. L.C.N. Wellness follows Postpartum Support International (PSI) best practices and brings over a decade of perinatal mental health experience to every client relationship.
