About Beth P. Siller, LMFT

Therapy for family building, postpartum adjustment, parenting stress, and relationship strain, serving clients in Florida, Tennessee, and California via virtual sessions.

Therapy with Me

My therapy style is integrative, collaborative, and practical. You don’t have to perform, explain everything perfectly, or hold it together in session. We work on understanding what is actually happening when emotions surge. All of the racing thoughts, intrusive worries, relationship tension, grief, or the constant mental “what ifs” will be processed together in session.

The goal is not just insight, but relief you can use outside of therapy:

  • during waiting periods

  • difficult conversations

  • middle-of-the-night anxiety

  • the everyday stress of parenting

I offer clear feedback with empathy, concrete tools, and help navigating real decisions. Sessions can be a space where you can talk through experiences that feel heavy or isolating without any type of judgement or a “fix it” mentality. Many clients begin to notice more patience, fewer escalations, clearer communication, and greater confidence in their relationships and parenting.

I work with individuals, couples, and single parents by choice, and I affirm all paths to building a family, including adoption, donor conception, and gestational carriers.

Why This Work And Why It Matters to Me

My path into perinatal therapy didn’t begin in a classroom. It began with my own fertility journey. What I discovered along the way was how unprepared I was. This wasn’t because I hadn’t done my research, but because the myths I had been told for years turned out to be false. More often than not, the medical care I received was clinical when I needed it to be human.

Family, friends, employers, and colleagues didn’t know what to say. There were times when the wrong things were said or they said nothing at all. I knew something had to change. When I began sharing my own experience publicly, I was overwhelmed by how many people came forward who carrying fertility challenges, pregnancy loss, postpartum struggles, and parenting burnout entirely in silence, convinced they were the only ones. They weren’t. If you’re here, you’re not either. That is what I am here for.

The Problems Beneath the Surface

Experiences like infertility, postpartum adjustment, parenting burnout, and family stress affect more than mood. They affect communication, confidence, decision-making, and relationships.

Clients often come in feeling:

  • emotionally exhausted

  • disconnected from their partner

  • unsure of parenting decisions

  • alone in their experience

In many cases, these reactions are often perceived as personal failings, but in reality, they are predictable responses to chronic emotional pressure, grief, uncertainty, and mental overload. Therapy helps make sense of these patterns so they can change.

Who I Help

Many people who reach out to me are not just looking for support, they are trying to it hold together during some of the most challenging times of their lives. Often, what brings people to therapy is not a lack of love, effort, or capability. It’s that their reactions no longer match their intentions as a result of stress or trauma.

You may be:

  • trying to become a parent and facing fertility challenges

  • Navigating IVF or donor conception decisions

  • Adjusting after a long-awaited baby

  • Feeling overwhelmed by parenting

  • noticing your relationship change after becoming parents

You may notice yourself becoming:

  • more reactive

  • shutting down in conversations

  • carrying guilt that you should be handling this better

  • comparing yourselves to others and feeling inadequate

My role is to help you understand what is happening underneath those reactions so things stop escalating and life begins to feel manageable again.

How Therapy Can Help

For those searching for specific therapy styles, my work draws from approaches commonly associated with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) principles, and other structured therapies focused on coping and behavioral change. I also use evidence-based therapy approaches tailored uniquely to each person’s needs. These may include cognitive and behavioral strategies, trauma-informed care, and skills for managing anxious thoughts and emotional overwhelm.

You will learn skills and techniques to:

• Reduce emotional reactivity

• Improve communication between partners and family members

• Understand parenting and relationship patterns

• Navigate fertility and family-building decisions

• Restore confidence in parenting

• Rebuild connection and stability at home

• Create boundaries to protect your emotional safety

If you are going through something you expected to feel joyful but instead feels heavy, confusing, or isolating , you are not alone. Therapy is a place to pause, breathe, and understand what is happening in both your body and mind so we can explore what would be the most helpful next step. My practice is affirming of LGBTQIA+ individuals and families, single parents by choice, nontraditional and blended families, and all who find their experience doesn’t fit neatly into dominant narratives.
