Therapy

Becky Gleed, LMFT & PMH-C

High-quality care goes beyond strong clinical skills of clinicians and extends to customer service, updating technologies, and maintenance of health records. Becky hopes to expand to incorporate a team of clinicians dedicated to the perinatal and reproductive community who continue to train in advances in the field, are dedicated to their own self-health, and provide high-quality, evidence-based care in Fall 2024.

Clinical Training & Field Contributions

2007–2010

Originally from the Pacific Northwest, Becky completed her Master of Arts at Syracuse University through an Academic Scholarship. She traveled numerous times to Manhattan, New York where she had the opportunity to study with Salvador Minuchin and train at the Ackerman Institute. She attended the AAMFT Emotionally Focused Therapy track in Sacramento, California with Dr. Sue Johnson which further deepened my passion for working with couples.

2010–2013

She completed her clinical residency in the Commonwealth of Virginia at Prince William Family Counseling and received clinical supervision with Dr. Eliana Gil. She supervised Qualified Mental Health Professionals conducting intensive in-home services.

2013–2018

Upon licensure, she continued practicing privately as well as a Senior Clinician with Fairfax County Government, initially with Youth/Family Services then Emergency Services. The Emergency Services team was awarded the Innovation Award 2017. She became a Commonwealth of Virginia Board Approved Clinical Supervisor and proudly served as the Vice Chair of The Alexandria City Local Human Rights Committee and then became Co-Chair when the committee transitioned to the Northern Virginia Regional Human Rights Committee in 2017.

2018–2020

After becoming the mother of two beautiful girls, she realized the paucity of perinatal resources — in both private practice and emergency psychiatric settings. She embraced literature and clinical training in Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders and became a Certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional.

2020–Present

She created a book series for the perinatal community:

  • A workbook: How to Healthily Transition to Motherhood

  • A gratitude journal: Thankful for Motherhood

  • A book for working moms: Employed Motherhood: Healthily and Holistically Transition Back to Work after Having a Baby

  • A practical journal: A Second Brain for Momnesia

  • Healthily and Holistically Transition to Working Motherhood: A Gentle, Practical Guide to Returning to Work After Having a Baby
