Therapy for Moms in Marin: Support for Postpartum Depression, Anxiety, and the Mental Load
When Motherhood in Marin Feels Overwhelming
On the outside, moms in Marin often look like they have it all together — juggling careers, carpool, birthday parties, and a house that’s always supposed to look presentable. But inside, it’s a different story.
If you’re honest, you might feel like you’re drowning in the never-ending to-do list. You love your family deeply, but you’re exhausted, touched out, and constantly carrying the invisible mental load. Maybe you’ve even caught yourself Googling “therapy for moms in Marin” or searching late at night for help with postpartum depression or postpartum anxiety.
You’re not alone — and you don’t have to keep holding it all together by yourself.
The Struggles Marin Moms Don’t Always Talk About
The crushing mental load. You’re the default parent, the family project manager, and the one who always knows when the next appointment is. Even when you try to rest, your brain keeps spinning.
Strain with your partner. You never thought you’d feel this much resentment. But you do. And then the guilt sets in. The fights get bigger, or the silence gets heavier.
Judgment from parents or in-laws. Comments about how you feed your baby, manage sleep, or balance work and home life leave you questioning yourself when what you really need is support.
Losing yourself. You miss the version of you who had her own identity beyond motherhood — the grounded, confident woman you used to feel like.
These are exactly the struggles therapy can help with.
How Therapy Helps Moms in Marin
Therapy is not about being told what you should do. It’s about creating a space that’s yours — where you can breathe, unload, and be reminded that you matter.
Together we can:
Untangle the overwhelm and constant guilt.
Manage the physical and emotional difficulty of pregnancy.
Explore the roots of postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety.
Learn tools to manage resentment and strengthen communication with your partner.
Set boundaries with parents or in-laws without constant conflict.
Reconnect you with who you are beyond the never-ending demands of motherhood.
When you care for yourself, you show up differently — calmer, more present, and less weighed down by the pressure to do it all.
Meet Alexa 🌿
I’m Alexa, therapist, mom of two and founder of Therapy For California Moms. I founded Therapy for California Moms because I know how hard it is to be everything for everyone while silently falling apart inside. As a therapist and a mom of two, I get it.
I work exclusively with women navigating pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood. My sessions are $275 each and designed for high-achieving moms who are ready for real, lasting change — not quick fixes. Therapy with me is judgment-free, deeply supportive, and practical enough to fit into the chaos of real mom life.
FAQs: Therapy for Moms in Marin
Do I need to have a diagnosis of postpartum depression or postpartum anxiety to start therapy?
Not at all. Many moms I work with don’t fit a clinical label, but they do feel anxious, overwhelmed, or resentful. Therapy is about support, not labels.
How do sessions work if I live in Marin?
All sessions are online, so you can log in from your home, your car, or even while your baby naps. No commute, no extra logistics.
How often do we meet?
Most moms choose weekly 50-minute sessions to build momentum. Each session is $275.
What if I’m worried my partner or in-laws won’t understand?
That’s common. In therapy, we work on finding your voice and building confidence so you can set boundaries without the guilt.
What’s the first step?
You can book a free 15-minute phone consult. It’s simply a chance to talk about what you’ve been carrying and see if this feels like the right fit.
You Deserve More Than Just “Getting By”
Caring for yourself isn’t selfish — it’s essential. When you’re weighed down by postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, resentment, and judgment, it’s impossible to show up the way you want for yourself and your family.
Therapy gives you space to feel like yourself again. To put down the mental load, to reconnect with your partner, and to stop second-guessing every move because of other people’s opinions.
🌿 Book your free 15-minute phone consult today. You don’t have to keep pushing through this alone. I can’t wait to support you during this season of Motherhood.
