You’re Not Failing — Motherhood in Southern California Was Never Meant to Be Done Alone

Struggling with overwhelm, anxiety, or burnout as a mom in Los Angeles, Orange County, or San Diego? You’re not alone —therapy for moms in Southern California can help you feel like yourself again.

Motherhood in places like Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego comes with sunshine, strollers, and the illusion that everyone else has it all figured out. But behind the curated photos and coastal calm, so many moms are barely holding it together.

You're not failing — you're just doing the impossible in a culture that tells you to smile through it.

Maybe you’re juggling work and daycare drop-offs. Or you’re pregnant with your second baby and already stretched thin. Or you're months into postpartum and still feel like you’re drowning in a sea of laundry, sleep deprivation, and invisible labor.

You’re not broken.
You’re just carrying more than one person ever should.

The Real Weight of Motherhood

In the high-functioning, high-achieving communities of Southern California, moms are expected to be everything for everyone — while still somehow making it to Pilates and responding to every text with a heart emoji.

If you’ve been feeling:

  • Overwhelmed and reactive with your kids or partner

  • Disconnected from yourself — like you’ve lost who you were before

  • Anxious, burned out, or stuck in survival mode

  • Like you should be grateful but secretly fantasize about running away

You're not alone. And it doesn't have to stay this way.

Therapy for Moms in LA, OC, and San Diego

Hi I’m Alexa. the founder and voice behind Therapy For California Moms. I'm a licensed therapist who works with moms navigating pregnancy, postpartum, and the relentless pressure of modern motherhood. I specialize in supporting women in places like Encinitas, Brentwood, Newport Beach, Irvine, Santa Monica, and beyond — women who are doing it all but feel completely drained inside.

Therapy with me is:

  • Virtual (so you can show up from your car, your couch, or your closet)

  • Centered on you — not just your baby or to-do list

  • A space to feel seen, supported, and finally… lighter

We’ll focus on helping you:

  • Stop living in survival mode

  • Set boundaries without guilt

  • Feel more emotionally available and connected

  • Reclaim your identity and inner calm

  • Navigate motherhood with more ease and less self-doubt

You Weren’t Meant to Do This Alone

Whether you’re in your first trimester, just brought home a newborn, or are years into motherhood and still waiting to feel “normal” again — you deserve support.
