Support for the Mom Behind the Motherhood.
At ReclaimHER Mental Health, I help women navigate the complexities of motherhood, heal from difficult experiences, and reconnect with the parts of themselves that may feel lost along the way. I provide online therapy for moms who are navigating motherhood in California. Specializing in maternal mental health, trauma recovery, and EMDR, I offer compassionate, evidence-based support in a space where you can feel seen, understood, and empowered. My style is warm, direct, and real because you deserve therapy that meets you where you are.
Meet Crystal Purdue, LCSW, PMH-C
Hello, I'm Crystal!
I am a maternal mental health therapist here in California. Since earning my Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California in 2013, I've dedicated my career to supporting women and families through life's challenges and transitions. Over the years, I've developed a special passion for maternal mental health and helping women navigate the emotional complexities of motherhood.
I understand that becoming a mother can bring profound changes to your identity, relationships, and sense of self. While motherhood can be deeply meaningful, it can also feel overwhelming, especially when you're navigating anxiety, difficult birth experiences, past trauma, or the feeling that you've lost touch with the person you once were.
As a mother of three, I recognize how easily your own needs can take a backseat while caring for everyone else. This personal perspective, combined with my professional experience and training in EMDR, informs the compassionate, thoughtful care I provide.
My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, supported, and understood. Together, we can make room for your experiences, work through what you've been carrying, and help you reconnect with yourself beyond your roles and responsibilities.
At ReclaimHER Mental Health, I believe you can love your family, embrace motherhood, and still make space for yourself. You deserve that, too.
Does Any of This Sound Familiar?
Motherhood can bring experiences and emotions you never expected. You may love your child deeply while also struggling with the changes, challenges, and emotions that come with becoming a mom.
Maybe you've found yourself thinking:
“I don't feel like myself anymore.”
“My birth experience wasn't what I expected.”
“I love my baby, but motherhood is harder than I imagined.”
“I feel like I've lost my identity.”
“I thought I'd be happier during this season of life.”
If any of these thoughts feel familiar, you're not alone. You deserve a space where you can talk openly about what you're experiencing, feel understood, and begin reconnecting with yourself.
