Therapy for Pregnant + Postpartum Moms in Newport Beach: When You’re the One Holding It All Together (And Falling Apart Inside)
You love your baby + Modern Motherhood can be incredibly heavy, demanding + a quick recipe for burn out. And not just in a “wow I’m tired” way — but in a “I feel like I’m unraveling and no one sees it + I have no idea how this is going to get better” kind of way.
You wake up already exhausted.
Everyone needs something from you.
You’re touched out, overstimulated, and somehow still expected to be grateful.
Maybe lately it’s been sounding like this in your head:
“Why am I the only one who notices what needs to get done?”
“I miss who I used to be, and I’m not sure she’s coming back.”
“I’m constantly anxious, but I hide it well.”
“I should be happy… but I’m not.”
And while your home may be filled with sunlight, beach toys, and organic snacks, inside your body it feels like a pressure cooker of overwhelm, guilt, and loneliness.
If that’s where you are right now, I want you to know:
You’re not failing. You’re just doing too much, with too little support.
The Invisible Weight Moms in Newport Beach Are Carrying
Being a Mom in Newport Beach brings its own unique kind of pressure.
You’re surrounded by high-achieving families, high standards, and high expectations.
Your kids are enrolled in great schools. Your partner works long hours.
And from the outside, everything looks fine.
But inside? You’re drowning in mental load, sleep deprivation, overstimulation, and the relentless demands of early motherhood.
You may feel like:
You’re constantly “on,” even when your body is begging for rest
You can’t remember the last time you did something just for yourself
You’re quick to anger, then spiral into shame
You feel judged or second-guessed by your parents or in-laws
You’re running on caffeine, screen time, and survival mode
This is what postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety actually look like for so many women.
It’s not always sobbing into your pillow.
Sometimes it’s a smile at school drop-off while your insides feel like static.
Therapy for Moms in Newport Beach — That’s Actually for You
If you’ve tried the yoga, the podcasts, the date nights, the green juices — and still feel like something’s off — therapy may be the piece you’ve been missing.
This isn’t surface-level self-care.
This is deep, compassionate support tailored to you as a whole person — not just as someone’s mom.
In therapy, we focus on:
Understanding what’s actually fueling your anxiety, rage, or shutdowns
Processing intrusive thoughts, grief, identity loss, and burnout
Regulating your nervous system (even with toddlers climbing on you)
Reclaiming the parts of you that have been buried under the “shoulds”
Making space for your needs — unapologetically
Whether you're a new mom or years into motherhood and still not feeling like yourself, support is available.
Hi, I’m Alexa — And I Work With Moms Like You Every Day
I’m a licensed therapist and a mom of two.
I know how it feels to want help but not know where to start — especially when your life looks “good on paper.”
That’s exactly why I created Therapy for California Moms — to offer real, non-judgmental support for women in Newport Beach who are holding so much and wondering when it gets easier.
I work with moms across California, but many of my clients live in communities like Newport Beach — where the pressure to appear polished and put-together is intense, and the expectation to do it all (without help) runs deep.
Here’s what’s different about working with me:
You won’t be met with generic advice
You will be met with honesty, tools, and compassion
You’ll get practical support that fits your real life
You’ll have space to feel everything — even the things you’ve never said out loud
You Don’t Have to Keep Pretending You’re Fine
So many of the moms I work with carry an unbearable weight of guilt and self-doubt.
They ask:
“Is it normal to feel this angry?”
“Shouldn’t I be enjoying this more?”
“What’s wrong with me?”
Nothing. Nothing is wrong with you.
You are not broken. You are burnt out, under-supported, and overextended.
But you don’t have to stay stuck there.
Let’s Get You the Support You Deserve
You can be a good mom and feel totally overwhelmed.
You can love your children and miss your autonomy.
You can live in a beautiful city like Newport Beach and still need therapy.
That doesn’t make you weak. It makes you honest.
If you’re feeling like you’re losing yourself in motherhood — therapy can help you come home to yourself.

FAQ
Q: How do I know if I have postpartum depression or anxiety?
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, irritable, numb, anxious, disconnected, or like you’ve lost yourself — those are all common signs. You don’t need a formal diagnosis to start therapy. You just need to feel ready for support.
Q: What if I’m past the postpartum stage?
Many of the moms I work with are years into motherhood. If you’re still feeling the emotional aftermath, therapy is still absolutely for you.
Q: Do I have to live in Newport Beach to work with you?
No. I offer virtual therapy to clients all across California, but I specialize in supporting moms in high-pressure areas like Newport Beach, where the invisible emotional labor of motherhood is often overlooked.
Q: How soon can I start?
I typically have availability for consult calls each week. If it feels like a good fit, we’ll find a regular session time that works with your schedule.
You’re not selfish for needing help.
You’re not weak for struggling.
You’re just a human being who’s been giving everything to everyone else — and now it’s your turn to feel held.
Therapy can be the space where you start breathing again.
