How Therapy Can Help Moms Who Feel Like They're Losing Themselves in Motherhood

You used to know who you were. Now, you’re not so sure.

You’re the go-to for snacks, school drop-offs, middle-of-the-night wakeups, and managing the mental load of literally everything. You’re holding it all together—on the outside—but inside, you feel like you’re disappearing.

And you’re not alone.

So many moms I work with tell me some version of the same thing:
“I don’t recognize myself anymore.”
“I miss the old me.”
“I love my kids, but I feel like I’ve been erased.”

If that’s you, I want you to know this:
It’s not selfish to want support.
It’s not wrong to want to feel like you again.
And no, you don’t have to keep running on empty.

The Invisible Weight of Motherhood

Modern motherhood comes with unrealistic expectations. You’re supposed to be grateful, happy, productive, patient, and somehow manage to keep your relationship, career, and mental health intact—without help.

But the truth? So many moms are silently struggling with:

  • Postpartum anxiety or depression

  • Burnout and overstimulation

  • Mom rage or irritability

  • Grief over how much life has changed

  • The crushing pressure to do it all perfectly

Therapy offers a space where you can be honest about how hard it really is—and get the support you need to breathe again.

What Therapy for Moms Really Looks Like

Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you.
It’s about helping you find your footing again.

In our work together, we unpack the mental load, the guilt, the identity loss, and the overwhelm. We explore what you need—emotionally, mentally, and relationally—and how to start prioritizing your well-being without drowning in mom guilt.

Whether you're dealing with postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, or just feel like you’ve lost yourself in the chaos of motherhood, therapy gives you a place to come back to you.

We might talk about:

  • What boundaries look like when everyone needs something from you

  • How to stop the constant guilt spiral

  • How to manage overstimulation and exhaustion

  • The grief that can come with losing your pre-mom identity

  • How to reconnect with your core values—and your own needs
