Perinatal Therapy + Doula Care

Bethany LeBlanc, LCSW, PMH-C

Supporting reproductive mental health in New Orleans and across Louisiana

You deserve nothing less than nonjudgmental support.

Whether you’re facing pregnancy, postpartum, early parenthood, miscarriage, or infertility, you deserve care that meets you where you’re at- period. Without any bias, unsolicited advice, or statements starting with “at least…” or “you should try”.

If you’re looking for empowered, judgment-free reproductive support, you’re in the right place.

Hi there, I’m Bethany.

I’m a perinatal therapist and full spectrum doula serving New Orleans and South Louisiana. I support folks through pregnancy, postpartum, fertility, loss, trauma, and transitions.

My passion lies in working with people left out of traditional perinatal spaces: LGBTQIA+ families, BIPOC parents, people with disabilities, neurodivergent folks, and bodies of all shapes and sizes. My clients are the ones who don’t fit in to their local “mom” groups. The ones walking into rooms where no one looks or thinks like them. The ones asking why childcare still isn’t universal, why people are still debating breast versus bottle, and why Black women are still more likely to die from preventable complications during birth (even in 2026).

I created Full Spectrum Nola to hold space for all identities and reproductive experiences. All paths to parenthood, all pregnancy outcomes, all choices, and all bodies are welcome here.

Why Full Spectrum?

Doulas of all kinds have existed for as long as people have been giving birth, but the term full spectrum doula started to be recognized in the mid-2000’s. Grassroots organizations like The Doula Project in New York began offering support for all pregnancy outcomes, including loss and abortion.

Today, full spectrum means inclusive care across the full range of reproductive experiences: fertility, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, miscarriage, abortion, adoption, surrogacy, parenting, and everything in between.

This approach is the foundation of how I show up as both a therapist and a doula.
