Therapy For Postpartum Anxiety For Women in Pasadena, CA

When Postpartum Anxiety Won’t Let You Relax — Therapy for Moms in Pasadena, CA 🌿

You love your baby — but your mind won’t stop racing.
You wake up already tense, your chest tight before your feet hit the floor.
Every cry, every “what if,” every sleepless night leaves you more wired than before.

You tell yourself you should be grateful. You’re supposed to be happy.
But underneath it all, you feel constantly on edge — like your body never got the memo that you’re safe now.

If that sounds familiar, you’re not broken — you’re overwhelmed. And you’re far from alone.

🌸 What Postpartum Anxiety Actually Feels Like

Postpartum anxiety isn’t just “worrying too much.”
It’s your mind running through worst-case scenarios on repeat.
It’s double-checking the baby monitor every five minutes.
It’s lying awake even when the house is quiet, heart pounding, thoughts looping: What if something’s wrong? What if I mess this up?

Many Pasadena moms I work with describe feeling overstimulated, exhausted, and disconnected from who they were before — and that often comes with postpartum depression too. The two can show up together, feeding off each other until you can’t tell where the sadness ends and the anxiety begins.

💛 You’re Not “Just a New Mom Who Worries Too Much.”

Motherhood magnifies everything — your love, your responsibility, your fear.
But it’s not supposed to feel like you’re constantly bracing for impact.

Postpartum anxiety can look like:

• Racing thoughts that won’t shut off

• Tightness in your chest or trouble breathing

• Feeling panicky when you leave the baby or even think about it

• Trouble sleeping even when you’re beyond exhausted

• Guilt that you “should” be enjoying this more

You can love your baby deeply and still need support for yourself.
Therapy is where you finally get to exhale.

💫 Getting Started

You don’t have to have everything figured out to reach out.
You can start with a 30-minute intro session ($99) — a focused space to share what’s been going on and see if therapy feels like the right fit.

Or, if you already know you’re ready for deeper support, you can book a full 50-minute session ($275) and begin right away.

Either way, this first step is about you — not adding one more thing to your to-do list, but finally doing something that brings relief.

🧠 FAQs | Postpartum Therapy in Pasadena, CA

What’s the difference between postpartum anxiety and postpartum depression?
Postpartum depression often shows up as sadness, hopelessness, or feeling disconnected. Postpartum anxiety is more about racing thoughts, irritability, and a constant sense of dread. Many moms experience both — and therapy can help you work through both at once.

How long does postpartum anxiety last?
Without support, symptoms can last months or even years. With therapy, most moms start feeling relief within the first few sessions and continue building lasting tools to stay grounded.

Do I need a diagnosis to start therapy?
Not at all. Many of my Pasadena clients simply know something feels off — they’re tired of being on edge and want help finding balance again.

How do I book a session?
You can schedule a 30-minute intro session ($99) or a full 50-minute session ($275) directly through my website. I offer virtual therapy for moms throughout Pasadena and all of California.
