Therapy For Pregnant + Postpartum Women + Moms in Mill Valley, CA Ready To Feel Better
So Many Moms in Mill Valley Feel Overwhelmed — And How Therapy Can Help
On paper, life in Mill Valley looks idyllic. Beautiful homes tucked into redwood groves, hikes with breathtaking views, top-rated schools, and families that seem to have it all figured out.
But behind closed doors, so many Mill Valley moms are quietly wondering: “Why does this still feel so hard?”
You love your children deeply, but you’re running on empty. You’re touched out, overstimulated, and managing a mental load that never lets you rest. And while everyone around you seems to be thriving, you feel like you’re barely keeping it together.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. And therapy can help. I’m Alexa, founder of Therapy For California Moms, I’d love to support you during this season of Motherhood!
The Hidden Pressure of Motherhood in Mill Valley
Mill Valley is known for its strong community, ambitious families, and picture-perfect lifestyle. But that comes with intense pressure for moms.
You’re the default parent, carrying the logistics of school drop-offs, extracurriculars, and endless household tasks.
You want to keep your relationship strong, but constant tension and miscommunication leave you resentful and lonely.
You feel guilty for not “enjoying every moment,” even though you’re stretched so thin you can barely breathe.
The comparison trap is everywhere — other moms look like they’re thriving, while you’re silently struggling.
That mix of exhaustion, guilt, and pressure is a heavy burden. And for many moms, it can become something more serious.
Postpartum Depression and Postpartum Anxiety in Mill Valley Moms
If you’ve been wondering whether what you’re feeling is “normal,” here’s the truth: postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety are very common.

Irritability or anger that flares easily

Trouble sleeping, even when your baby sleeps
Feeling disconnected from your partner, your baby, or even yourself
Guilt that you’re not enjoying motherhood the way you thought you would
These symptoms don’t mean you’re a bad mom. They mean your mind and body are overwhelmed — and therapy can help you find relief.
