Kellie Wicklund, MA, LPC, PMH-C
Kellie Wicklund is a licensed Psychotherapist with 25 years of experience, and is the Clinical Director of the Maternal Wellness Center. Kellie is certified by Postpartum Support International (PSI) as a Perinatal Mental Health Specialist. She is a member of The American Society of Reproductive Medicine - Mental Health Professional Group (ASRM-MHPG) . Her experience with both private and community clients has nurtured a passion in the area of reproductive health psychology — a specialty that acknowledges the complexity and trials of the developmental process of parenthood. Kellie has extensive and specialized experience with peripartum mood and anxiety disorders, and understands the unique pressures that modern parenthood brings. Kellie is adept at supporting people through their journey into parenthood, whether that be the hardship of infertility, the overwhelm of the peripartum period, the journey through parenthood at all stages, or the grief following a loss, or medical termination. Kellie was a 2008/2009 Clinical Fellow with The Psychoanalytic Center of Philadelphia, with an area of advanced study in postpartum disorders, infant attachment, infant-parent psychotherapy, feminism, and maternal subjectivity. Kellie was an associate with the Center for Postpartum Depression in Philadelphia from 2011 - 2016. Kellie directed the on-site perinatal mood and anxiety services for Jefferson Health at Abington Memorial Hospital from 2012-2016. She has lectured about peripartum mood and anxiety disorders at Abington Hospital - Jefferson Health, and the City of Philadelphia’s Maternal Health Conference. Kellie’s approach is warm and supportive, and is infused with psychodynamic, humanistic, and feminist theory and technique. Throughout her career she has sought supervision, training and therapy from psychoanalysts, and continues to be inspired and influenced by the modern analytic/psychodynamic perspective which values increasing consciousness and deepening understanding of childhood/early attachments - and the implications of those relationships in the present. Kellie has special interest and experience with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, a wide spectrum of perinatal experiences, reproductive decision making, termination for medical reasons, postpartum OCD, fertility and assisted reproduction support, and family of origin work.
