Navigating Fertility & Beyond

Specialized therapy for fertility, loss, and reproductive transitions

Hi, I’m Leila Zwelling

LCSW | PMH-C

20+ Years of Clinical Experience

Perinatal Mental Health Certification

With more than two decades of experience and advanced training in reproductive and perinatal mental health, I specialize in supporting clients navigating family building challenges, loss, and reproductive identity transitions.

My approach blends warmth, clinical expertise, and evidence-based support. With experience in both clinical and academic settings at UCSF, I bring a steady, thoughtful presence to the emotional terrain of fertility, loss, and family building.

Whether you are trying, grieving, questioning, or rebuilding, I offer a supportive space that honors the complexity of this season and the possibility of growth.
