Therapy For Pregnant + Postpartum Women in Irvine, CA

Therapy for Pregnancy, Postpartum, and the Mental Load of Motherhood

Life in Irvine is designed for families — the parks, the top-rated schools, the mom groups. On the outside, everything looks like it’s supposed to. But if you’re pregnant or postpartum and secretly struggling to hold it all together, you are not alone.

Whether you’re drowning in anxiety, feeling disconnected from yourself, or just completely exhausted from constantly being “on,” therapy can help you feel like you again.

Support for Pregnancy, Postpartum, and Motherhood in Irvine

I work with women across Orange County and California who are:

  • Pregnant and overwhelmed with anxiety, fear, or intrusive thoughts

  • Postpartum depression or postpartum anxiety and feeling lost, irritable, or like they’re silently falling apart

  • Navigating mom rage, overstimulation, or resentment in their relationships

  • Struggling with identity loss, perfectionism, or burnout

  • Tired of pretending they’re fine when they’re anything but

Motherhood in a high-functioning community like Irvine often comes with invisible pressure:
Be calm. Be grateful. Be perfect.
But the truth is, no one was meant to do this alone — especially not at the cost of their mental health.

Hi, I’m Alexa — Therapist for Moms in Irvine and Across California

I’m Alexa, an Orange County native, licensed therapist and a mom of two, and I specialize in helping overwhelmed, anxious, high-achieving moms feel more grounded, less reactive, and more like themselves again. Through Therapy for California Moms, I support women in Irvine, CA and beyond who are ready to move out of survival mode and into something more sustainable.

In our work together, there’s no judgment and no pressure to perform. Just a safe space where you can say the hard things, feel your feelings, and finally put yourself back on the list.

Therapy That Fits Into Your Life

Between feeding schedules, preschool drop-offs, and trying to get three minutes alone to pee — I know your time is limited. That’s why I offer convenient, secure online therapy for moms in Irvine. You can meet with me from the car, the couch, or wherever you can find a quiet moment.

There’s no need to battle traffic on the 405 or sit in a waiting room. Therapy should feel like a break — not another item on your to-do list.

What We’ll Work On Together

In our sessions, we can:

  • Process fears about giving birth or going through postpartum again

  • Talk through intrusive thoughts or emotions you’re too scared to say out loud

  • Explore identity shifts and grief that come with motherhood

  • Set boundaries with family, partners, or work

  • Create space for your emotional needs — not just everyone else’s

Motherhood changes everything. But it shouldn’t erase you.
