Hi, I’m Louise Bayly, founder of Balance Bayly Therapy.

I am a Perinatal Therapist specializing in Women’s and Maternal Mental Health. I am licensed in DC, Maryland, Virginia, New York, and Connecticut.

I earned my license in Clinical Social Work from Columbia University and my Post Master’s Degree in Palliative and End-of-Life Care from New York University. I received advanced clinical training in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy at the National Institute of the Psychotherapies in New York City.

My passion has always been working with mothers and individuals throughout the transformative stages of womanhood. My area of focus is in Reproductive Mental Health. I received my Perinatal Mental Health Certification through Postpartum Support International’s advanced-training program and the treatment of Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders, as well as Perinatal Loss and Grief, through Seleni Institute in New York City.

In addition to my clinical practice, I served as an inpatient medical social worker in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Mount Sinai Hospital for several years. I am deeply devoted to supporting mothers and families navigating unanticipated challenges and stressors in the perinatal period.
