About me

I am Sara Carmona (she/her), a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Perinatal Mental Health Therapist (PMH-C), providing professional social work services in Portland, OR since 2011. Specializing in perinatal and reproductive mental health, I offer support across the reproductive health continuum. "Perinatal Mental Health" refers to mental health concerns related to pregnancy, which includes topics such as fertility, pregnancy and birth concerns, depression and anxiety, postpartum psychosis recovery, abortions, miscarriage, stillbirth and infant loss, and processing your birth experience. I welcome individuals of all genders and provide informed, responsive support to LGBTQI+ individuals from preconception through postpartum.

My therapeutic approach is compassionate, collaborative, and relational. I cultivate a trustworthy space for you to explore challenging issues, strengthen your inner resources, and learn new skills for moving forward. Through our conversations and evidence-based therapy methods, we will work together to understand your emotions, make decisions aligned with your values, and live a more satisfying life. I am open to coordinating care with your medical team, family, or other individuals you'd like to involve in your counseling services.

I value and respect the diversity of individuals, practicing from an anti-oppressive, anti-racist framework. River City Counseling LLC welcomes individuals from all cultures, races, abilities, religions, sexual orientations, and gender identities.
