About The Owner
Hi, I am Camille Hereth, the owner and Clinical Director of Women and Family Wellness Studio. I have been a counselor for over a decade where my work has been centered around supporting women and families in social services, perinatal mental health, and human sexuality.
I am currently in the process of becoming a certified sex therapist and certified sexual educator through Sexual Health Alliance.
Working with children who are neurodivergent is another area I’m passionate about and have a lot of experience.
I am a contracted provider for the University of Washington School of Social Work, Alliance caRES where I am a Trauma Informed Caregiver Specialist and Trainer. Over the past 20 years I have worked with foster families in some capacity, and the opportunity to support this community is very meaningful to me. You can read more about that role here.
Additionally, I am a published author. Sam’s Tummy Troubles is written with trauma informed language, and interactive approach for children who need to get NG and GI tubes. This book was inspired by personal experience with one of my own children, in hopes of helping other families who face similar challenges.
I am also a certified parent educator through the evidence-based parenting program, The Incredible Years and have been teaching parenting classes for 16 years. Working with parents with newborns is my greatest passion with the parenting classes.
Our Story
Women and Family Wellness Studio is a behavioral health agency that provides services to the general public as well as provides social services.
We opened doors January 2018 and a lot has changed since then. Let’s start at the beginning...
We originally opened under the name Camille Marie Coaching (CMC). At that time, the owner, Camille Hereth was the only person, and the only service offered was parent coaching, hence, the name. The original business model was to provide in home evidence-based parenting classes to the general public, as well as through a contract CMC had with DCYF to families involved with CPS, foster care and post adoptive. Prior to the business opening, Camille had worked in social services as a counselor and teaching parenting classes for over a decade. She wanted to continue that line of work, while also expanding to offer the classes to more people after seeing how well the combination of counseling with parenting classes had worked to support family success.
Over time CMC began adding more parent educators as the parenting program grew. In that process Camille began to see trends of parents taking the baby parenting classes needing more support than what the classes offered. As a counselor who specializes in perinatal mood disorders, she saw this as an opportunity to provide a combination of psycho-education around mental health with hands-on in-home help, combined with the evidence based baby parenting classes. And so, the In-Home Postpartum Support Program was developed to meet the needs of parents with newborns.
Then 2020. The need for mental health counseling in the community increased exponentially, and to help meet that need, counseling was added as a service offered as more staff were hired. By this time, the agency and the mission had grown so far beyond just parenting classes. The business name was changed to better fit what the agency had become; Women and Family Wellness Studio (WFWS). Today, WFWS offers parenting classes, counseling, in home postpartum support, 504 and IEP support, as well as workshops on all things parenting and personal development.
More about what we do; WFWS also provides a lot of social services for the community. We contract with WA State providing counseling and parenting classes to families involved with CPS, foster care, and post adoption. WFWS also providing evidence-based parenting classes and counseling to individuals who were incarcerated and are now home with their children and/or on sentencing alternatives. Camille contracts with the UW The Alliance where she is a Neurodivergent and Trauma Informed Care Specialist. This means that she creates and provides trainings for foster parents in WA state on topics relating to these areas, as well as provide support to foster parents in these areas as needed.
We also contract with a variety of agencies in the community where we offer workshops and support groups for free on parenting and all things mental health and adulting. If you can’t catch the workshops there, we offer them for a low fee on our website here. We are always looking for more opportunities to partner with others in the community who share our mission and goals to support families. If you are interested in partnering with us, please contact Camille.
Staff at WFWS come from a wide range of backgrounds, and together, we make up an incredibly dynamic, caring, compassionate, powerful group of women. We are a trauma informed agency that is an ally of the BIPOC and LBGTQ+ communities. One thing very unique about us, is that the majority of our services are provided in family’s homes, or online. We are always looking for more ways we can work with families to meet their unique needs and goals.
