Meet Maya Caldwell Eleazer
MA, LMHC, PMH-C | Perinatal & Maternal Mental Health Specialist
Specialized, Depth-Oriented Care for the Matrescence Journey
Motherhood and caregiving transform your identity, body, and emotional landscape. Navigating these transitions within a culture that often lacks structural support can leave you feeling isolated, overwhelmed, or disconnected from who you once were.
Therapy during this profound life transition should never feel like a generalized, one-size-fits-all service.
With over two decades of dedicated experience supporting birthing parents and families, my practice provides deeply specialized, evidence-based care. Operating as an independent private-pay practice allows me to devote the time, clinical depth, and focused attention your healing requires—unrestricted by third-party insurance mandates.
Broad Field Experience Meets Advanced Clinical Expertise
My work spans the full spectrum of maternal and perinatal mental health. Long before becoming a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I spent over 20 years on the ground supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum adjustment.
Clinical Credentials & Advanced Specializations
Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC): Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute, specializing in Jungian-based, depth-oriented therapy.
Certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional (PMH-C): Specialized credentialing through Postpartum Support International, representing advanced, targeted expertise in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs), reproductive loss, and birth trauma.
Specialized Modalities: Advanced training in Lifespan Integration (LI), Somatic Techniques, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Attachment-based models to treat trauma and regulate the nervous system gently and effectively.
24+ Years of Perinatal Background: Extensive foundation as a birth and postpartum doula and lactation educator, providing a deep, practical understanding of physical recovery, lactation challenges, and early parenting realities.
Why I Choose a Dedicated Private-Pay Practice Model
To offer trauma-informed, attuned therapy that truly honours your story, I operate outside of rigid managed-care insurance contracts. This model directly protects the quality and privacy of your care:
1. Absolute Privacy & Confidentiality
Insurance providers require a formal mental health diagnosis that becomes part of your permanent medical record, accessible to insurers and underwriters. Private pay keeps your health records entirely confidential between you and me.
2. Care Guided by Clinical Expertise—Not Insurance Rules
Insurance companies routinely dictate session frequency, length of treatment, and allowable therapeutic modalities. In our work, your treatment plan is customized exclusively around your unique clinical needs and personal pace.
3. Attuned, Low-Caseload Care
Insurance-contracted practices often require seeing 30–40 clients a week to cover administrative overhead. By remaining out-of-network, I maintain a intentionally smaller caseload, allowing me to bring full presence, ongoing specialized training, and complete emotional availability to every session.
Investment & Reimbursement Options
Individual Psychotherapy Session (50 mins): $225
Individual Parent Coaching Session (50 min.): $225

Using Out-of-Network Benefits & Flexible Accounts
While I do not bill insurance companies directly, you can still leverage your health benefits:
HSA & FSA Cards: You may pay for sessions directly using Health Savings Account or Flexible Spending Account dollars.
Monthly Superbills: I provide detailed monthly superbills (itemized receipts for healthcare services) upon request. Many clients submit these to Premera or other insurance carriers for out-of-network reimbursement depending on their specific plan benefits.
Begin Your Healing Journey
Whether you are navigating postpartum anxiety, healing from birth trauma or reproductive loss, or working through complex parenting transitions, you do not have to carry it alone.
