Postpartum in Los Angeles: What No One Tells You About This Season of Motherhood
Because being surrounded by people doesn’t mean you feel supported.
Los Angeles can be full of energy, opportunity, and beauty — but when you’re in the thick of postpartum, it can also feel incredibly isolating.
Maybe your days are a blur of feeding, soothing, pumping, cleaning, and trying to survive.
Maybe you’re surrounded by people, yet feel completely alone.
Maybe you're wondering why no one talks about this part of motherhood.
If you're searching for postpartum support in Los Angeles, I want you to know this:
You’re not the only one feeling this way.
And you don’t have to keep doing this alone.
Hi I’m Alexa, Licensed Therapist, Mom of Two, and the Voice behind Therapy For California Moms. I am so happy you’re here and I can’t wait to support you in your postpartum journey! To learn more about me, click here!
The Truth About Postpartum That Most Moms in LA Aren’t Hearing
Postpartum isn’t just the first six weeks after birth.
It’s not just about healing your body.
And it’s definitely not just about the baby.
It’s about you — the person who just went through a massive life shift.
And in a fast-paced, image-driven city like Los Angeles, it can feel even harder to admit when you’re struggling. There’s pressure to bounce back, to be grateful, to hold it all together. But the truth is...
You can love your baby and still feel completely overwhelmed.
You can be “high functioning” and still need help.
You can look okay on the outside and still feel like you’re falling apart.
Signs You Might Be Struggling in Postpartum (Even If No One Notices)
You feel anxious, overstimulated, or constantly on edge
You lie awake worrying — even when the baby is sleeping
You find yourself crying or zoning out more than usual
You miss your old life and then feel guilty for missing it
You’re smiling at playdates but feel completely disconnected inside
If any of this sounds familiar, know this:
You’re not broken. You’re a mom who deserves support.
Why Therapy Can Help — Especially Now
Postpartum therapy isn’t about talking through milestones or fixing your to-do list.
It’s about making space for you in a season that demands so much from you.
In therapy, we can work together to:
Ease anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and burnout
Process rage, sadness, guilt, and grief (yes, those are normal too)
Rebuild your confidence and reconnect with who you are
Find tools that actually help — not just advice that sounds nice but doesn’t work
