Kathryn Beam Counseling

Pregnancy, Postpartum, and Early Parenthood Therapist in Greensboro & Across North Carolina

Welcome - I’m so glad you’re here.

Whether you’re navigating infertility, pregnancy, or the early days of parenthood, you don’t have to carry this alone.

Your whole life you’ve been told how smart, capable, and put-together you are.

Now, with a new baby in the mix, it feels impossible to keep up with the standards you—and others—have always held. You knew this transition would be a challenge at first, but you didn’t realize the toll it would take on your relationships, your confidence, or your sense of self.

You deserve a space where you can be honest about what you’re feeling, without judgment. Everyone deserves support, understanding, and care as they move through this season of life.

Are you ready to lean into your transition to motherhood with confidence and self compassion?

Hi, I’m Kathryn! I’m so glad you’re here.

You’re burnt out, you’re exhausted, and the weight of your own standards and expectations gets heavier by the minute. You just want to feel normal again, but have no idea what normal even is anymore. You’ve tried to ignore it, you’ve tried to white knuckle through it, but you can’t shake the feeling that something doesn’t feel quite right.

Therapy with me feels like being truly seen. Like you can lay it all out on the line, without judgment.

I strike the balance between compassionate, gentle, and caring while still challenging you on where you need to grow, and the ways you’re showing up that can keep you stuck.

I help high achieving women who find themselves adrift in the postpartum period learn to set boundaries and prioritize their own needs without guilt, and as a mom of three myself, I have lived experience with the emotional rollercoaster of pregnancy and postpartum. I found my true passion in helping others thrive in the postpartum period, and I believe all moms deserve to feel supported and heard. I’m there with you as you dig deep into this new understanding of who you are, where you came from, and who you are becoming.

I am a Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C) therapist through Postpartum Support International (PSI), trained in The Art of Holding Perinatal Women in Distress™ through the Postpartum Stress Center, as well Foundational Perinatal EMDR through the Touchstone Institute.

I specialize in perinatal and postpartum mental health, offering therapy tailored to your unique needs during pregnancy and early motherhood. Through compassionate support and integration of evidence-based techniques, such as CBT, Emotion Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, EMDR, and Interpersonal Psychotherapy, we’ll work on reducing anxiety, recognizing patterns, processing emotions, and building resilience to help you thrive.

I offer a safe, supportive space where you can talk openly about the challenges you’re facing. Together, we’ll address the things that keep you feeling stuck in a loop of frustration, sadness, or worry, and help you navigate this transition with confidence and self-compassion.

You can do this. You are not broken. Reaching out is one step closer to feeling like yourself again.
