Postpartum Support For Moms Trying To Figure Out Who They Are After Baby

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

Maybe you’re up all night with anxious thoughts.
Maybe you’re snapping at your partner, crying in the bathroom, or feeling totally numb.
Maybe you keep thinking, Why is this so hard?

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

Therapy for Postpartum Anxiety, Depression, and Overwhelm

At Therapy for California Moms, I specialize in helping women in Santa Monica and throughout California navigate the intense emotional changes that can come after birth. Whether you're a first-time mom or adding another baby to the mix, postpartum can hit hard.

Even if you have a supportive partner, even if you “should” feel grateful — you can still be struggling.
This is more than the baby blues. I specialize in working with women during pregnancy, and through postpartum including postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety. And you deserve real support.

You Might Be Dealing with Postpartum Anxiety or Depression If:

  • You feel on edge, panicky, or constantly overstimulated

  • You struggle to relax, even when your baby is sleeping

  • You’re overwhelmed by guilt, resentment, or rage

  • You cry more than you ever thought possible

  • You feel disconnected from your baby, your partner, or yourself

  • You wonder if you’ll ever feel like “you” again

If any of this sounds familiar — therapy can help.
You don’t have to figure this out on your own.

Hi, I’m Alexa — a licensed therapist, a mom, and the founder of Therapy for California Moms. I provide virtual therapy to moms across California, including here in Santa Monica.

I know what it’s like to feel pulled in a million directions. To feel like your needs are invisible.
I help Santa Monica moms slow down, breathe again, and reconnect with the person they were before motherhood — and the version of themselves they’re becoming now.

This is a space where it’s okay to be honest. To say the hard things. To cry, rage, vent, or laugh through the tears. No judgment. Just support.

Postpartum Therapy Can Help You:

  • Feel more like yourself again — calm, grounded, and in control

  • Cope with intrusive thoughts and “worst-case scenario” fears

  • Set boundaries without guilt

  • Manage mom rage, irritability, and overstimulation

  • Heal from a difficult birth or traumatic postpartum experience

  • Rebuild your identity outside of being “mom”

  • Navigate changes in your relationship and family dynamic
