Ashley Sabido Magee, LPC, PMH-C
Owner/Founder/Counselor
Ashley is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana and Ohio with a perinatal mental health certification through PSI. She is trained and licensed to diagnose and treat perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, and she especially enjoys working with clients navigating infertility, loss, and traumatic birth. She is passionate about helping birthing people through pregnancy and the postpartum period, and advocates in the perinatal community for earlier screenings, better education, and more accessible resources.
With personal experiences with miscarriage and fertility issues, Ashley understands how isolating it. She takes a holistic, client-centered approach, helping women feel empowered in their reproductive and mental health choices — offering a safe space built on humor, validation, education, and unconditional positive regard.

Franki Batten, PLPC
Counselor
Franki is a PLPC, mom, wife, and former doula, endlessly fascinated by the ways birth and loss tangle together and change each of us uniquely. Shaped by her own experience with postpartum anxiety, she values shared humanity and a steady presence in the counseling room. She works with individuals, couples, and groups navigating the perinatal period — with a particular focus on birth trauma, postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, and the transition to parenthood, especially for NICU families — approaching this season through a family systems lens committed to the flourishing of every family member.
Her approach is calm, intentional, and grounded in warmth, always mindful of her clients' real life, community, and family.
