Therapy for Moms in Menlo Park: Finding Relief from the Quiet Pressure

Hi, I’m Alexa — a licensed therapist, mom of two, and founder of Therapy For California Moms. I work with overwhelmed, high-achieving moms all across California. My practice focuses on maternal mental health — especially for women who feel like they’re “supposed to” be okay, but inside, it’s a different story. If you’re a mom in Menlo Park feeling burned out, anxious, or like you’re on the edge of losing yourself completely… you’re not alone. And you don’t have to keep pushing through.

Why So Many Moms in Menlo Park Feel Burned Out

From the outside, Menlo Park is beautiful: tree-lined streets, great schools, a supportive community. But behind the scenes? It can feel like a pressure cooker — especially for moms.

Whether you’re working in tech, managing a household, or both, the expectations are sky-high. You're constantly giving, managing logistics, and absorbing everyone else’s emotions… while quietly wondering:

“Why do I feel so resentful all the time?”
“Is it normal to feel this disconnected from my partner?”
“Why am I crying in the pantry again?”

The truth is, most moms in Menlo Park aren’t “fine” — they’re just really good at looking like they are.

Common Struggles for Menlo Park Moms

🌿 You feel isolated even though you’re surrounded by people.
🌿 Your nervous system is in overdrive, and even small things set you off.
🌿 Your partner doesn’t understand how much you’re carrying.
🌿 You miss the version of you that felt light, playful, and grounded.
🌿 You love your kids — but you’re exhausted, touched out, and secretly fantasizing about a solo vacation.

If you’re also navigating postpartum depression or postpartum anxiety, it can feel even more confusing. You may not even recognize yourself anymore — and the cultural messages to “enjoy every moment” just make you feel more broken.

Let me say this clearly:
You’re not broken. And you’re not alone.

How Therapy Helps Moms in Menlo Park

Therapy is a place where you can stop pretending.

It’s not about fixing you — it’s about finally giving you space. A place to breathe. A place to say, “I can’t keep going like this,” and not be judged for it.

In therapy, you’ll:

• Understand why you feel so overwhelmed, even when things “look good”

• Learn nervous system tools that help you regulate and feel more in control

• Unpack the resentment, rage, and grief that’s been quietly building

• Work through postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety in a way that feels personalized and grounded

• Improve your communication with your partner and build better boundaries

• Reconnect with the part of you that feels like you

If you’re a mom in Menlo Park navigating postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, or the crushing mental load of motherhood, I’d love to support you.

Therapy is a safe space to breathe, release the pressure, and feel like yourself again.

Why My Practice Works for Busy Bay Area Moms

I specialize in working with high-functioning, emotionally intelligent moms who are quietly struggling. Many of my clients are navigating motherhood while also:

• Managing a demanding career

• Feeling unsupported in their partnership

• Dealing with judgment or pressure from in-laws or extended family

• Wondering if they’re “doing something wrong” because this all feels so hard

Sessions are virtual, which means you can show up from your car, home office, or even your parked minivan outside preschool pickup. No commute. No childcare scramble. Just you, supported.

What My Clients Say (Without Saying It)

Here’s what I often hear from the moms I work with — after a few sessions:

“I don’t feel as reactive anymore.”
“I’m not yelling all the time.”
“My partner and I are finally having real conversations.”
“I’m starting to feel like myself again.”

This isn’t magic. It’s the result of having one hour a week that’s entirely yours — no pressure, no expectations, no multitasking. Just a space where your needs are the priority.

You Deserve Support That Actually Supports You

If you’re a mom in Menlo Park and you’re ready to:

• Feel more in control

• Reconnect with yourself

• Get real support that understands the demands of motherhood in this area…
