THERAPY
Navigating the mental health system can be overwhelming. Finding a therapist trained in the reproductive period that takes your insurance, is affordable, accessible, and available is next to impossible. PS-WA is dedicated to reducing barriers people face in accessing high-quality mental health care. Our therapy program is designed to provide the care you need. We are only offering online services at the moment, and look forward to being able to expand our services in time. Our highly skilled therapists and interns have both lived and professional experience serving childbearing families.
Unfortunately, we are not taking new clients at this time as our waitlist is full. We expect that we will reopen our waitlist in September of 2026. We know how frustrating and challenging the process of connecting with mental health supports can be right now, and so we want to offer a few other resources for you to explore. If you are in need of immediate support, please contact the Perinatal Support Washington Warm Line at 888-404-7763. You can also search our provider directory to find a provider that meets your needs.

Crystal Kombol, M.Ed., LMHC, CMHS, PMH-C
Clinical Therapist
Crystal Kombol (she/her), Therapist, M.Ed., LMHC, CMHS, PMH-C
Crystal joined PS-WA in 2023 as a parent support specialist in our Parent Resilience Program and later transitioned into our Clinical Therapy Program. She believes therapy can be a place to pause, untangle, affirm what is already working, and curiously explore wellness, while making room for the parts of parenthood that feel complicated, unexpected, and difficult. Crystal is a Licensed Mental Health Therapist (LMHC) with 15 years of experience providing trauma-informed, behavioral health services across community, educational, and perinatal settings. Crystal became certified in perinatal mental health (PMH-C) in 2026.
Crystal’s approach is rooted in strengths-based counseling with mindfulness and creative art practices woven throughout. Crystal is trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. With lived experience traveling the highs and lows of fertility treatment, a medically complicated pregnancy, traumatic birth, and NICU parenting, Crystal understands that the journey through parenthood at times can be unexpectedly non-linear. Her own journey through the perinatal period deepened her commitment to supporting equitable perinatal behavioral health access and to walk alongside individuals on their unfolding journey of becoming a parent.
