Therapy for LGBTQ+ Parenthood
in New Orleans + virtual across LA
Bethany LeBlanc, LCSW, PMH-C
Affirming support for queer and trans people navigating pregnancy, family-building, and parenthood.
Queer and trans folks often have to navigate reproductive spaces that weren’t built for them- and you deserve to feel like more than just an afterthought. My goal is to provide a space where your experiences are understood, your family is affirmed, and you can focus on thriving rather than educating your therapist.
You might be here because you’re:
Exploring your family building options
Pursuing donor conception, IUI, IVF, adoption, or other “nontraditional” paths to parenthood
Trying to survive trans or nonbinary pregnancy
Dealing with gender dysphoria from pregnancy or fertility treatments
Fighting to have your family legally recognized
Mourning the fact that you or your partner won’t share a genetic connection with your child
Experiencing the isolation of queer loss or infertility
Therapy can help support you with:
LGBTQ+ affirming pregnancy and postpartum support
Family-building decisions and the emotional impact of fertility journeys
Navigating healthcare experiences and advocating for your needs
Identity exploration during major life transitions
Parenting stress, relationship changes, and building support systems
Processing minority stress, discrimination, or past experiences of rejection
Creating a parenting path that feels authentic and aligned with your values
My approach:
Your identity, relationships, and reproductive experiences do not exist separately. I believe mental health is shaped by the systems around us, including healthcare, culture, family, and access to support.
Therapy with me is a space where queer and trans parents and parents-to-be can show up fully. Together, we’ll explore your experiences with curiosity, compassion, and respect while building tools to support the life and family you’re creating.
