Postpartum Therapy in Los Angeles, CA 🌿
Because Surviving Motherhood Isn’t Enough
You wake up tired no matter how much you sleep.
Your body feels heavy from carrying constant stress and the entire mental load.
Your brain feels foggy from ongoing decision fatigue and the pressure of being the default parent.
You love your family but you’re running on empty and know this is not sustainable.
Motherhood in LA comes with its own pressures. Perfect playdates. Preschool waitlists. Moms who look like they’ve got it all together on Instagram. And meanwhile? You’re just trying to keep your head above water — without snapping at your partner, losing patience with your kids, or crying in the bathroom at the end of the day.
You don’t have to keep surviving like this. Therapy is where you finally get to breathe.
Does This Sound Like You?
🌿 You find yourself snapping at your partner or kids and then drowning in guilt.
🌿 Your relationship feels strained because you’re both running on fumes.
🌿 You’ve stopped enjoying the things you used to love because you just don’t have the energy.
🌿 You keep telling yourself “other moms handle this better,” and then feel ashamed for struggling.
This isn’t just “normal mom tired.” This is your nervous system stuck in survival mode. And it’s not sustainable.
Why Postpartum Therapy Helps
Postpartum therapy is about more than “talking it out.” It’s about helping your mind and body shift out of constant fight-or-flight so you can actually rest, restore, and feel like yourself again.
In therapy, we’ll work together so you can:
✨ Release the guilt and overwhelm that’s been weighing on you
✨ Improve your patience and presence with your kids
✨ Rebuild emotional connection with your partner
✨ Get your energy and clarity back so you’re not running on caffeine and willpower alone
✨ Finally feel like you’re thriving in motherhood — not just surviving it
Because when you take care of your mental health, you’re not just helping yourself. You’re creating a calmer, more connected home for your whole family.
What If Therapy Feels “Selfish”?
You can’t pour from an empty cup, and right now, your cup has been running dry for too long.
Therapy gives you dedicated time that’s yours — so you can come back to your family more present, grounded, and energized.
Your kids don’t need a “perfect mom.” They need a mom who feels well and prioritizing their mental health.

FAQs: Therapy for Moms in Los Angeles
What is postpartum depression?
Postpartum depression is more than baby blues. It can look like sadness, irritability, guilt, or feeling detached from your baby or yourself. It doesn’t just fade away on its own — but with therapy, it’s treatable.
What is postpartum anxiety?
Postpartum anxiety often shows up as racing thoughts, excessive worry, or dread that doesn’t match what’s happening. Many moms with postpartum anxiety can’t sleep, even when their baby is resting. Therapy can help calm the cycle.
Do you only see moms in Los Angeles?
I work with moms across all of California through secure online therapy. Whether you’re in Silver Lake, Santa Monica, Brentwood, or Pasadena, you can access support.
Do I need to hit rock bottom before starting therapy?
Not at all. Many of the moms I work with look like they’re managing just fine on the outside — but inside, they’re struggling. Therapy is here for you at any stage.
How much does therapy cost?
Sessions are $275 for 50 minutes. I don’t offer sliding scale, but many clients use out-of-network insurance benefits for partial reimbursement. Click here to learn more.
How do I know if this is more than “normal mom stress”?
Every mom feels tired sometimes, but if exhaustion is constant, your patience is wearing thin, your relationships are suffering, and you feel like you’re just “getting through the day” instead of enjoying motherhood — that’s a sign it’s more than everyday stress. Therapy helps you break out of survival mode so you can feel more balanced, present, and capable again.
What if I don’t have time for therapy?
I hear this all the time — and I get it. The truth is, therapy actually gives you time back. When you’re less overwhelmed, decisions feel easier, your energy stretches further, and daily life doesn’t feel so draining. And because I offer virtual sessions across Los Angeles, there’s no commute, no parking, no childcare juggling. You can start feeling relief without adding more chaos to your schedule.
Is it selfish to spend money on myself when my family needs things?
Not at all. Investing in your mental health isn’t just about you — it’s about your whole family. When you feel calmer and more grounded, your kids notice. Your partner notices. Your home feels different. You’re not taking away from your family; you’re giving them a healthier, happier version of you. And that’s priceless.
