Therapy for LA moms who are burned out, anxious, and tired of pretending they’re okay.

You love your baby — but you don’t feel like yourself anymore.

Maybe your mind won’t shut off.
Maybe you feel invisible.
Maybe you’re snapping at everyone, crying in the shower, and wondering,
“Is it this hard for everyone? Because it seems like everyone else is better at this than I am”

You’re not the only one.
And you’re not failing.
You’re a mom in survival mode — and you don’t have to stay there.

Hi! I’m Alexa the Mom and therapist behind Therapy for California Moms, I provide online postpartum therapy for moms across Los Angeles who are struggling with anxiety, rage, guilt, or just feeling totally disconnected from themselves.

If you're searching for a postpartum therapist in Los Angeles who gets it, you’re in the right place.

Signs You Might Be Struggling with Postpartum Depression or Anxiety

  • You feel anxious, on edge, or constantly overstimulated

  • You experience Mom Rage and feel guilt and shame for how you’re feeling.

  • You’re exhausted but can’t relax, even when you get a break

  • You are in a constant shame spiral where you are feeling guilt and shame for not “loving every moment” and worry about your ability to be the parent you want to be

  • You and your partner are constantly arguing, comparing, and feeling distant, angry, and disconnected. You feel constantly resentful and angry towards them and wonder if you even make sense together anymore.

  • You feel alone — even when you’re surrounded by people

  • You find yourself thinking, “I can’t keep doing this”

You don’t need a diagnosis.
You don’t need the perfect words.
You just need a space where it’s safe to say:
“I’m not okay. And I don’t want to do this alone anymore.”

Let’s talk about what support could look like for you.

Why Postpartum Mental Health Often Gets Overlooked

In the early weeks and months after birth, the focus is almost entirely on the baby — feeding schedules, sleep routines, milestones, pediatric appointments. But very few people are checking in on you.

You might hear:

  • “The baby’s healthy — that’s what matters.”

  • “It’s just a phase. You’ll feel better soon.”

  • “All moms feel this way sometimes.”

But when you're crying in the shower, panicking at 3AM, or counting the hours until bedtime while hating the guilt that comes with it — you need more than a well-meaning reassurance. You need real support.

Being a Mom in LA Can Feel Isolating — Even When You’re Surrounded by People

Los Angeles is full of life, movement, and connection. But it can also feel incredibly lonely — especially in early motherhood.
Maybe you scroll social media and see moms at Runyon Canyon with matching leggings and smiling babies, and you think:

“Why does everyone else seem like they’re doing fine — and I feel like I’m unraveling?”

What you don’t see are the tears, the rage, the invisible mental load, the postpartum anxiety attacks happening behind the scenes. So many moms are quietly struggling, just like you.

You don’t have to fake it anymore.

The Mental Load of Motherhood Is Real — And It’s Heavy

You’re the one keeping track of the feeding schedule, the diaper bag, the pediatrician appointments, the grocery list, the thank-you cards, and whether the car seat straps are too tight.
And that’s just before 10AM.

Add in sleep deprivation, postpartum hormones, and an identity shift you didn’t fully expect, and it’s no wonder so many moms in LA feel like they’re drowning on the inside while doing everything right on the outside.

In therapy, we make space to unpack all of it — the rage, the guilt, the grief, the overstimulation — without you needing to filter yourself or pretend you’re okay.

What Therapy Actually Looks Like

If this is your first time thinking about therapy, or you’ve tried before but didn’t feel seen, here’s what it’s like with me:

  • We’ll move at your pace. You get to decide what feels safe to talk about.

  • I’ll help you understand what’s going on in your brain and body — so things start to make more sense.

  • We’ll explore real-life tools for grounding, boundary-setting, and reclaiming space for you again.

  • There’s zero pressure to be “fixed.” Therapy isn’t about getting it perfect — it’s about feeling less alone in what you’re carrying.

You don’t need a diagnosis to start.
You just need a space that feels supportive, grounded, and human
