I am passionate about helping parents find their groove and get evidenced-based information and care about breastfeeding/chestfeeding. My adventure in lactation began after the birth of my daughter in 2015- feeling completely overwhelmed with challenge after challenge. As a volunteer LLL leader and peer counselor both in the hospital and outpatient settings in North Carolina and Alaska respectively, my experience has helped me become a compassionate and supportive IBCLC ready to use my knowledge and skills for you. I am the contracted IBCLC for Healthy Start Coalition in Pinellas County and a member of the Tampa Bay Birth Network. In addition to supporting families in the Tampa Bay area, I am also a provider with Pacify Health which provides 24/7 access to lactation care via Telehealth. I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60083d481ab2dc6f4c37ffae/04c3c64a-5706-47ee-b9d0-ab63a15f90f4/18E9887B-7D07-46F0-BF3F-25139E3DC206.jpg About Ellen Docherty, IBCLC - no matter your goals. I am here to help, encourage, and cheer you on for all your success and be there to support you when you feel discouraged. Breastfeeding can bring out a rainbow of emotions- from elation to disappointment and everything in between from first latch to weaning. Deeply latched is not only a breastfeeding term, but also speaks to our deep connection to our children— to do what is best for them and for us. Breastfeeding is a beautiful experience for parents and babies, but sometimes there are breastfeeding issues that make the experience difficult. Here is a list of the most common problems or situations I can help you with from birth and beyond: Breast Engorgement Poor Breastfeeding Latch/Positioning Tongue Tie Marathon Feeding Sessions Over or Under Milk Supply Latching with Flat or Inverted Nipples Overactive Milk Ejection Reflex Nipple Pain Nipple Confusion/Bottle Preference Clogged Milk Ducts Pain with Pumping or Low Pump Output Help with Exclusive Pumping Breast Refusal Bottle Refusal Mastitis Biting Tandem Nursing Weaning https://www.deeplylatchedlactation.com/howtogetreimbursed daily 0.75 2024-08-02 https://www.deeplylatchedlactation.com/hipaa daily 0.75 2022-01-14 https://www.deeplylatchedlactation.com/insurance daily 0.75 2025-10-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60083d481ab2dc6f4c37ffae/1713886077426-3K7MBD8G5G1LS8D8JJJ0/image-asset.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60083d481ab2dc6f4c37ffae/1651973773623-HC5TQB9TT8XDD0GK6BJZ/unsplash-image-V2Sdh6p8dI0.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60083d481ab2dc6f4c37ffae/1651973871692-2PFRWRNYDM03B1DKXA11/unsplash-image-RcgiSN482VI.jpg Insurance - Self Pay If you don’t have insurance or they will not provide out of network benefits, you can choose to self pay and can even use your HSA or FSA cards! I offer a special discount for WIC and SNAP participants. My follow up visits are intentionally discounted, because I want to make sure that you can get the care you need, sometimes a follow up is necessary. I also offer packages that are discounted even further if you want to combine visits when you first book or as a baby shower gift. Let me know if you might need a payment plan. There are also lots of free resources in the area that I can help connect you with- I would love to talk to you and support you! https://www.deeplylatchedlactation.com/contact-us daily 0.75 2025-07-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60083d481ab2dc6f4c37ffae/891c8f40-9350-4586-ba2c-fdd946998a50/9_8_2022%2C+3_06_14+PM.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60083d481ab2dc6f4c37ffae/e3bde199-cf8a-4150-a68b-1038a6952e0c/IMG_1426.jpeg https://www.deeplylatchedlactation.com/planning-to-breastfeed daily 0.75 2025-07-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60083d481ab2dc6f4c37ffae/1668134381198-131BDTF045C5DACXVW6X/unsplash-image-IE8KfewAp-w.jpg Planning to Breastfeed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60083d481ab2dc6f4c37ffae/1668134650197-D56Y7162I9ICKSAWGV4K/unsplash-image-ZTSiID1W7-o.jpg Planning to Breastfeed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60083d481ab2dc6f4c37ffae/1668135587992-4VTIC8275GOEKYYXUZWM/unsplash-image-hki62Epw53E.jpg Planning to Breastfeed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60083d481ab2dc6f4c37ffae/1623097264759-457Q388N42JDOWBUNEVV/F9E182FB-FF30-48BB-8F69-F40217FFF776.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60083d481ab2dc6f4c37ffae/1672275567092-29Q6C1FE7PVLHCXY5PG3/unsplash-image-2gj-992Xl1g.jpg
