We’re thrilled to celebrate Stefanie Cobb, LCSW as she steps into her new role as Educational Coordinator!

Stefanie’s Wildflower journey is such a special one. Since joining our team in 2021 as an Administrative Coordinator, she has continued to grow, learn, and take on new challenges—transitioning from administration to clinical internship, becoming a licensed psychotherapist, and now bringing her clinical expertise and administrative experience together in this exciting new role.

Throughout that journey, Stefanie has also been an important part of our educational work, contributing thoughtful and engaging writing to our webzine and helping shape the way Wildflower shares information with our community.

In her new role, Stefanie will help expand our educational programming and the Wildflower Center for Learning, working alongside our leadership and education teams to create meaningful opportunities for professional development and learning.

We couldn’t be more excited to see where this next chapter takes her. Congratulations, Stefanie! 💛

💛 What do you say to a friend going through infertility?

When someone we love is navigating infertility, it can be hard to know what to say. We may worry about saying the wrong thing, offering unsolicited advice, or accidentally minimizing what they’re experiencing.

Sometimes, the most supportive thing we can offer isn’t an answer—it’s presence, validation, and a willingness to sit with someone in the hard stuff.

Our latest article, “10 Things to Say to a Friend Going Through Infertility,” offers simple, compassionate ways to show up for someone you love.

And because infertility can affect every part of a person’s emotional and relational well-being, we have additional resources available:

🌼 Our free Mental Health Guide to Coping with Infertility — a practical resource for navigating the emotional challenges of infertility.

🌼 Infertility-focused therapists on the Wildflower team — our clinicians have specialized experience supporting individuals and couples through infertility, reproductive loss, treatment, and the many complicated emotions that can come with this journey.

🌼 Fertility consultation letters for third-party donation — for those pursuing donor-assisted family building, our clinicians can provide fertility consultation letters as part of the process.

Whether you’re experiencing infertility yourself or trying to support someone you love, you don’t have to navigate it alone. 💛

Pregnancy and postpartum can be beautiful, complicated, overwhelming, joyful, exhausting—and sometimes all of those things at once.

There’s so much preparation for bringing home a baby, but we don’t always talk enough about preparing for the emotional and mental health changes that can come with pregnancy and new parenthood. 💛

That’s why we created our Pregnancy & Postpartum Mental Health Guide—a free resource to help you better understand what you may be experiencing and when it might be time to reach out for support.

Inside, you’ll find information about:

✨ Common emotional changes during pregnancy and postpartum
✨ Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders
✨ Signs that something may be more than the typical adjustment to parenthood
✨ Ways to support your mental health
✨ How partners and loved ones can help
✨ When and where to seek professional support

Most importantly, you don’t have to wait until things feel unbearable to ask for help. Taking care of your mental health is part of taking care of yourself—and your family.

Whether you’re pregnant, newly postpartum, further into parenthood, or supporting someone who is, we hope this guide helps you feel a little more informed, prepared, and less alone. 🌼

🎃 Just a little Halloween reminder… 🍬

Your child does not need to earn their candy.
They don’t need to feel guilty for enjoying it.
And you don’t need to turn the candy bowl into a battleground.

Halloween candy is just food. And enjoying food is okay. ❤️

Tonight, let’s make room for the costumes, the excitement, the neighborhood walks, the traditions, the sugar rushes, the “can I have one more?” — and yes, the candy.

We can help our kids build a healthy relationship with food without shame, restriction, or fear.

Happy Halloween from Wildflower! 🎃👻🍫

And if you need a little support navigating the candy conversation, check out our guide on talking to kids about Halloween candy through an anti-diet culture, food-neutral lens. Link in bio. 🌼

🌼 Meet Elise Barrington, MA!

As a therapist, Elise creates space for clients to slow down, reconnect, and better understand the deeper needs beneath the patterns that may be keeping them stuck. Her approach is intuitive, direct, creative, and grounded in curiosity, compassion, and trust.

Elise works with individuals, couples, and families, with a particular passion for helping people navigate relationship challenges, attachment wounds, grief and loss, identity transformations, transitions to parenthood, blended families, and breaking intergenerational patterns. She also enjoys working with mixed-neurotype couples and families to build shared language and deeper mutual understanding.

Her clinical approach integrates Emotionally Focused Therapy, the Satir Growth Model, Relational-Cultural Theory, and existentialism, with an emphasis on emotional experience, attachment, meaning, and the larger systems that shape our lives.

One of Elise’s guiding beliefs is:

“Emotions are not problems to solve but experiences to understand.” 💛

And when she’s not in the therapy room? You might find Elise birding, listening closely for the sounds that identify a bird—or taking karaoke very seriously. 🐦🎤

We’re so happy to have Elise as part of the Wildflower team!
