Clinical Social Work Practice – Kayti McDaniel, LCSW, PMH-C
California-based Licensed Clinical Social Worker Kayti McDaniel holds a Perinatal Mental Health certification (PMH-C) and operates a private practice dedicated exclusively to perinatal mental health support. The practice focuses on the full arc of reproductive and perinatal transitions, with stated areas of focus that include considering parenthood, attempting to conceive, pregnancy and family expansion, postpartum adjustment, and reconnecting with personal identity and individual values outside of the parenting role. This scope across the entire reproductive lifespan, rather than a single perinatal phase, distinguishes the practice’s orientation from more narrowly focused postpartum-only services.
Two primary service formats are offered. The Perinatal Roadmap Session is a 75-minute strengths-based assessment and care planning appointment described on the site as designed to help clients clarify where they stand and map out meaningful next steps. Perinatal Therapy Intensives are structured three-hour sessions aimed at addressing specific stuck points as needed, providing a concentrated format suited to clients with defined areas of difficulty who want to make targeted progress in a single longer appointment. Both service types reflect a purposeful and structured clinical model rather than ongoing open-ended weekly therapy sessions.
The practice communicates a validation-centered perspective, acknowledging the complexity and difficulty of perinatal experiences through language that affirms the client’s reality without attributing fault or blame. The site states: “It’s not your imagination, it’s not your fault, and it’s not just you.” Client intake and services are accessed through an online client portal at kayti-mcdaniel.clientsecure.me, where prospective clients can submit a Get Started request. A general contact option for questions and inquiries is also available through the practice website.
