Breanne Headshot

Breanne Bitz, LISW
(She/Her/Hers)

Modalities: ART, Maternal Mental Health, Strengths-Based Care

Perinatal: Certified

I graduated from the University of Iowa with my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in social work. During my master’s program, I worked with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, supporting families across Iowa, and served as a medical social worker on the mother-baby floor and in the NICU. There, I discovered my passion for supporting women and families during the transformative stages of pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood.

Since earning my master’s degree, I’ve provided therapy in school settings, on college campuses, and in private practice, working with kids and adults. These experiences have deepened my understanding of the unique challenges individuals face at different stages of life. I’m currently in the process of pursuing specialized training in maternal mental health, as I’m deeply committed to supporting women through the emotional and psychological challenges of motherhood and beyond. I hold additional training in accelerated resolution therapy (ART).

What My Support Looks Like

My favorite thing about showing up authentically in the world—and in therapy—is showing that therapists are humans, too. I believe in the power of therapy to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your true self and develop a deeper understanding of who you are. My approach is rooted in authenticity, compassion, and collaboration, and I’m dedicated to offering individualized care that honors your unique background and journey.

I have a particular interest in supporting women through life transitions, including the challenges of pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood. Together, we’ll uncover themes and patterns that may be influencing your life, build resilience, and create meaningful change. Using a strengths-based perspective, I’ll help you leverage your unique qualities and resources, empowering you to thrive both inside and outside of therapy.

To me, therapy is not just about alleviating symptoms. It’s a space to grow and thrive. I’ll support you in exploring what living authentically means for you, helping you make choices that align with your values.

In My Free Time You Can Find Me…

When I’m not working, I love spending time with my husband and son, whether we’re camping, traveling to national parks, or going for walks. After moving back to Des Moines from Arizona, I’ve been enjoying re-exploring the city and all it has to offer. These moments of connection and adventure help me recharge and bring a sense of balance to my life.

You Don’t Have To Do This Alone

What do Bloom's perinatal mental health designations mean?

Perinatal mental health is one of Bloom’s core specialties, so we’re intentional about how we describe each provider’s training in this area. You’ll see one of three designations on every counselor’s profile: Certified, Advanced Training, or Growing Interest. Here’s what each one means.

What does "Certified" mean?
Certified indicates a provider is Certified in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C) — the formal, board-recognized specialty certification in perinatal mental health. Earning the PMH-C requires advanced education, supervised clinical training, and meeting professional standards set specifically for supporting individuals and families through the perinatal period.
What does "Advanced Training" mean?
Advanced Training means the provider has completed Bloom’s foundational two-day perinatal mental health training plus additional, advanced perinatal-specific coursework. These providers have pursued real, substantial education in the assessment and treatment of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, even though they haven’t yet completed the PMH-C certification process.
What does "Growing Interest" mean?
Growing Interest means the provider has a genuine clinical interest in supporting individuals through pregnancy, postpartum, and the transition to parenthood, but hasn’t yet completed Bloom’s training threshold for our Advanced Training designation. It’s an honest starting point, not a lesser one — many of our most experienced perinatal providers began here.

Growing Interest means the provider has a genuine clinical interest in supporting individuals through pregnancy, postpartum, and the transition to parenthood, but hasn’t yet completed Bloom’s training threshold for our Advanced Training designation. It’s an honest starting point, not a lesser one — many of our most experienced perinatal providers began here.
Why does Bloom make this distinction?
We believe you deserve to understand the training and experience behind the provider you’re choosing. Rather than using a vague catch-all term, we want our language to be transparent and specific — so you can find a provider whose background genuinely matches what you’re looking for.

What if I'd like to work with a provider at a different level of perinatal training?

That’s completely okay! You can browse our full team on the Meet Our Counselors page, where every provider’s designation is listed alongside their focus areas, so you can find the best match for your needs — whether that’s deep perinatal specialization or simply the right overall fit for you.
