Burnt Out and Overwhelmed by Motherhood? Therapy Can Help You Feel Like You Again

Burnt Out and Overwhelmed by Motherhood? Therapy Can Help You Feel Like You Again

Feeling exhausted, irritable, or lost in motherhood? You’re not alone. Learn how online therapy for moms in California can help you move from surviving to feeling whole again.

Burnt Out and Overwhelmed by Motherhood? Therapy Can Help You Feel Like You Again

Let’s start with the truth no one puts on a baby shower card:
Motherhood is beautiful—but it’s also exhausting, relentless, and incredibly lonely sometimes.

You might be doing everything for your family—packing lunches, wiping tears, answering emails with a baby on your hip—and still ending the day feeling like it’s not enough. You love your kids with every fiber of your being, but you’re also wondering:
When do I get to breathe? When do I get to feel like me again?

If you’re feeling depleted, short-tempered, anxious, or like you're hanging on by a thread, you’re not failing. You’re likely experiencing what so many moms are quietly carrying: burnout, postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, emotional overload, and identity loss.

And therapy can help.

This Isn’t Just “Mom Guilt”—It’s a Sign You Deserve Support

You might be telling yourself things like:

• “Other moms seem to be handling this better.”

• “I chose this, so I shouldn’t complain.”

• “I just need to try harder, get more organized, be more patient…”

But here’s the thing: this is not a personal failing—it’s a systemic one. The mental load of motherhood is crushing, especially in a culture that expects moms to do it all without breaking down. You’re human. Of course you’re tired. Of course you need support.

What Burnout Can Look Like for Moms

Burnout doesn’t always look like collapsing on the bathroom floor (though sometimes, it does). It can show up more subtly:

• You’re constantly overstimulated and snapping at everyone

• You feel irritable, weepy, or disconnected

• You miss the person you used to be before becoming “Mom”

• You find yourself fantasizing about alone time—not in a spa way, but in an “I just want to disappear” way

• Even when things are “fine,” you feel numb or on edge

• You’re doing all the right things—but nothing feels right

Sound familiar? You’re not alone in this. And you don’t have to keep surviving motherhood on empty.

Therapy for Moms That Meets You Where You Are

I provide virtual therapy for overwhelmed moms throughout California—so you can access support without needing to clean your house, find a sitter, or sit in traffic.

In our work together, there’s no judgment. No pressure to have it all figured out. No pretending everything’s fine when it’s clearly not.

Just a space where you get to show up exactly as you are: tired, angry, anxious, grieving, grateful, numb—or all of the above.

We’ll work through things like:

• Postpartum depression and anxiety

• The emotional whiplash of pregnancy and new motherhood

• Mom rage and overstimulation

• The grief of losing yourself (and figuring out who you are now)

• Burnout from trying to do it all

• Resentment toward your partner, your job, your life (yes, this is valid)

• Boundary setting, saying “no,” and letting go of guilt

• Rebuilding your identity and confidence—on your terms

You don’t have to earn rest. You don’t have to keep pouring from an empty cup.
You’re allowed to take up space, get support, and reclaim the parts of yourself that feel lost.

It’s Okay to Want More Than Survival Mode

You were never meant to carry all of this alone.
You’re not weak for needing help—you’re wise for recognizing it’s time for change.

Therapy gives you a place to exhale. To be seen, supported, and held without judgment. To explore who you are beyond the title of “Mom.”

So if you’ve been wondering if you’re the only one struggling, you’re not.
If you’ve been putting off therapy because it feels indulgent, know this: taking care of your mental health isn’t selfish—it’s essential.

You Deserve to Feel Like You Again
