Meet the Therapist Behind The Nurtured Mama

At Mother Hen, we believe that real postpartum support means having the right people in your corner. That is why we are proud to be collaborating with Amy Swart, MSW, LICSW, PMH-C — a licensed therapist, certified perinatal mental health professional, and mother of three who has dedicated her career to helping women heal, grow, and thrive.

About Amy

Amy has been providing therapy services since 2011, with a deep specialization in the emotional and psychological experiences of pregnancy, postpartum, and new motherhood. She is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in the state of Minnesota and holds her Perinatal Mental Health Certification through Postpartum Support International — a distinction that places her among a select group of clinicians with advanced, specialized training in maternal mental health.

As a mother herself, Amy knows firsthand the weight of those early postpartum months, including her own experience with postpartum anxiety. That personal understanding shapes the way she works — with warmth, humor when it helps, and zero judgment, always.

Amy brings advanced training in EMDR, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused approaches to every session, meeting each mother exactly where she is and giving her practical tools to carry forward.

She does not just hold space. She shows up — as her full, real self — and invites every mother she works with to do the same.

*We are so excited to bring The Nurtured Mama to life. Stay tuned — start date and program details will be announced here soon.
