Providence Women’s Therapy is a private psychotherapy practice, specializing in women’s mental health, reproductive mental health and medical providers’ mental health.

Psychotherapist Jane Hesser appreciates the complexity of women's lives, at all stages. She takes an honest, holistic approach to therapy, incorporating social forces that impact the emotional lives of women, as well as deep understanding of general psychology. 

Jane is an expert in prenatal and postpartum depression and anxiety, including OCD as well as adjustment to motherhood. She built her expertise in women's mental health through her extensive work in the Department of Women's Behavioral Health at Women & Infants Hospital. Her style is warm and practical, combining creative approaches to biological regulation such as maternal sleep with deeper psychotherapy work. Jane is a Clinical Assistant Professor, in the Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior, at Alpert Medical School of Brown University, and has spoken and led trainings locally and nationally on the subject of perinatal mental health. Babies are always welcome in session and Jane can help connect clients with specialists in infant sleep and feeding.

Jane also enjoys seeing artists and creative professionals. She holds an MFA in Photography from The Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), maintains her own studio practice and taught art at both RISD and Brown. Her current practice and lived experience has led to up-to date awareness and understanding of the unique pressures and forces at play for artists.
