Find a Mental Health Professional Near Me in Norfolk, VA

Hi, I’m LaTory “Ms. Tory” Whitney — founder and creative director of The Maternal Concierge. My work is deeply rooted in helping families feel supported, cared for, and less alone during pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood. After spending over 30 years caring for children and supporting families, I realized that so many parents are trying to navigate one of the biggest transitions of their lives without enough real, connected support. That realization is what inspired me to create The Maternal Concierge — an ecosystem of trusted professionals designed to help families access compassionate care all in one place. I believe families deserve more than quick fixes or surface-level support. They deserve people who can truly see them, guide them, and help bring calm into the chaos of parenting. Through The Maternal Concierge, I help direct and connect families with aligned providers including doulas, newborn care specialists, lactation support, mental health professionals, wellness providers, and postpartum support teams who all believe in caring for the whole family, not just the baby. I’m also the founder of Whispering Lullabies and creator of the Sacred Sleep Method, a gentle, nervous-system-informed approach to sleep and family wellness that focuses on connection, regulation, and emotional safety. Whether I’m supporting families directly or helping build a stronger network of care behind the scenes, my goal is always the same: helping parents feel held, empowered, and supported during one of the most important seasons of their lives.

Hi love, my name is Jessica Hughes and I am a mental health provider who is EMDR trained with a specialty in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders from Postpartum Support International. I have worked with children and mothers for over twenty years. I am an experienced registered Yoga, Meditation and Breath work teacher. In addition to EMDR to help you reprocess old trauma, I use Mindfulness based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support your journey. Your well being is my passion and my life’s work. I have my own two children 7&9 now, but also was challenged with postpartum depression and anxiety. I have created an office and studio space that is cozy and will warm your heart. From 9-3 m-f I offer child care.

Namaste! I’m Tory Whitney; birth and postpartum doula, newborn care specialist, sleep consultant, mindfulness and Hypno Babies, educator, intuitive guide, and author of Sacred Sleep on Amazon. I am the founder of Whispering Lullabies, bringing 7 years of perinatal experience and over 30 years of hands-on childcare experience into the families I serve. I support parents through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and infant sleep with a calm, regulation-first, whole-family approach that honors both science and intuition. As a sleep consultant, my work is guided by a core belief: sleep is not forced or trained through distress—it is conditioned through safety, nervous-system regulation, and connection. I blend evidence-based physiology, nervous-system education, mindfulness, and intuitive attunement to help babies and parents settle into sustainable sleep rhythms—without rigid or one-size-fits-all methods. My birth and postpartum services mirror this belief. I believe parenthood is more than a transition—it is a sacred awakening. My mission is to help families feel seen, supported, and deeply aligned with their instincts as they move through birth, bonding, and beyond. Through in-home and virtual care, I hold space for families to soften, settle, and trust themselves—one breath, one night, one season at a time.

I am Amanda Wheeler, owner and therapist for HealTHY Mind PLLC. A bit about me, I obtained a Bachelors degree in Psychology from Spelman College in 2002 and a Masters in Social Work from Washington University in St. Louis, in 2004. Following my graduate work, I had the opportunity to provide in-home therapy for families who experienced challenges that might eventually lead to out of home placement for their child(ren) and/or adolescent(s). I also worked with families whose children were being reunited with them following temporary residential treatment. As a licensed clinical social worker I partner with individuals to promote overall wellness using a variety of strategies, including cognitive behavioral therapy and solution focused approaches. I have over 15 years experience of working with families with young children. More recently, my work has been primarily with prenatal and postpartum mothers who experience depression, anxiety and social isolation. As key elements of a holistic approach to treatment, I support natural remedies such as optimal nutrition, exercise, building support systems, and meditation in addition to talk therapy and medication management.
