You Love Your Kids, But You’re Completely Burned Out: Therapy for Moms in Newport Beach
From the outside, life in Newport Beach can look picture-perfect — the ocean views, the clean parks, the well-dressed families out for brunch. But behind closed doors, many moms feel like they’re barely holding it together.
If you're a mom in Newport Beach who’s constantly “on,” exhausted, and starting to feel resentful even though you love your kids — you are not alone. You might be silently wondering:
“Why does motherhood feel so overwhelming… when I’m supposed to be grateful?”
You're not broken. You're just carrying too much — and it’s time for you to be the one supported.
🌿 The Invisible Load Moms Carry in Newport Beach
Living in a high-achieving, family-focused area like Newport Beach comes with its own unique pressure. You’re expected to be present, patient, successful, and endlessly available — all while maintaining a calm, grateful exterior.
But behind the scenes, you might be…
Snapping at your partner and then immediately feeling guilty
Struggling with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or mental overload
Longing for quiet, alone time — even just to think
Feeling like you’ve lost yourself in motherhood
Managing every detail of your family’s life, with no space left for your own
You’re the one remembering appointments, managing moods, doing the emotional labor of your entire household — and it's exhausting.
🧠 Therapy Isn’t Just for When You’re in Crisis
It’s for when you’re ready to feel like yourself again.
Many of the moms I work with are high-functioning and outwardly successful. But internally, they feel stretched too thin, deeply disconnected, and like they’re always “just getting through the day.”
If this sounds like you, therapy can help you:
Process resentment, mom rage, and emotional fatigue
Navigate changes in your identity and relationship since becoming a parent
Break cycles of perfectionism or people-pleasing
Learn how to create more space for you, without guilt
Reconnect with who you are — outside of being a mom
Therapy gives you permission to stop pushing, and to start healing.

All sessions are virtual, so you don’t have to worry about adding another commute to your day. Whether you’re in Newport Beach, Irvine, Costa Mesa, or anywhere in Orange County, I meet you wherever you are — mentally and physically.
This is therapy that works with your real life — not against it.
👋 Hi, I’m Alexa — Therapist for Moms in Newport Beach + Across California
I’m a licensed therapist, mom of two young kids + founder of Therapy For California Moms. I specialize in helping high-achieving, emotionally overloaded moms untangle what’s really going on underneath the exhaustion.
My clients are often the ones who look like they’re “doing fine” on the outside. But inside, they’re unraveling — and craving a space to just be themselves without caretaking anyone else for once.
Through compassionate, direct, and deeply personalized support, I help moms come back home to themselves.
💬 You’re Not Failing — You’re Carrying Too Much
You might be telling yourself:
“Other moms are doing it — why can’t I?”
“I shouldn’t feel this resentful. I love my kids.”
“It’s not that bad. I just need to push through.”
But here’s the truth:
Pushing through isn’t working anymore.
And you deserve more than survival mode.
Therapy offers a place to slow down, feel seen, and figure out what’s next — with someone who gets what it’s like to be in the thick of it.

❓FAQ: Therapy for Moms in Newport Beach, CA
Q: Do I need to be in crisis to start therapy?
Nope. Most of my clients are outwardly functioning — going to work, managing their households, showing up for their families. But inside, they’re overwhelmed, burnt out, or just not feeling like themselves. Therapy is a space to pause and get support before things hit a breaking point.
Q: How does virtual therapy work?
Sessions take place via secure video chat, so you can join from home, work, your car, or anywhere you feel comfortable. This makes therapy more accessible — especially for moms with packed schedules or limited childcare.
Q: What issues do you specialize in?
I work with moms dealing with postpartum anxiety and depression, relationship struggles after baby, high-functioning anxiety, identity loss, mom rage, and the emotional toll of constantly managing everyone else’s needs.
Final Thoughts
Even in a place like Newport Beach — where everything can look shiny on the surface — the emotional load of motherhood is very real.
You don’t have to keep pretending everything’s fine. You don’t have to do it all alone.
And it’s not too late to feel more like you again.
