Therapy For Pregnant + Postpartum Women in Los Gatos, CA
On the outside you’re managing it all — but behind closed doors, you’re falling apart in ways you never expected.
It doesn’t need to stay this way. Therapy will help bring you back to yourself.
Therapy for Women + Moms in Los Gatos, CA
Because Motherhood shouldn’t require sacrificing your own wellbeing just to keep everything else afloat.
The charming neighborhoods, the coffee dates after drop-off, the weekend hikes in the redwoods — from the outside, it seems like you should be thriving. But behind closed doors, it feels very different. Maybe the weight of postpartum depression or postpartum anxiety makes even simple tasks feel impossible. Maybe resentment bubbles up toward your partner, or the mental load leaves you exhausted before the day even begins.
You’ve worked hard to build this life — but right now, it feels like you’re just surviving it.
Why Los Gatos Moms Work With Me
I specialize in supporting high-achieving women who are navigating the messy, overwhelming realities of motherhood. Many of the moms I work with in Los Gatos are:
🌿 Pregnant and anxious about how life will change once the baby arrives
🌿 Newly postpartum and shocked that it feels nothing like they expected
🌿 Struggling with postpartum depression or postpartum anxiety and wondering if they’ll ever feel like themselves again
🌿 Exhausted perfectionists trying to “do it all” but secretly burning out
🌿 Moms carrying rage, shame, or guilt they never thought they’d feel
Therapy is where you can stop pretending, put down the pressure to hold it all together, and actually start to heal.
A Little About Me
I’m Alexa — a licensed therapist, UC Santa Cruz grad, mom of two and founder of Therapy For California Moms. I know firsthand how easy it is to lose yourself in motherhood and how hard it can feel to ask for support. My practice is built for moms like you: women who are giving everything to their families but are finally ready to take care of themselves, too.
Clients often tell me that therapy with me feels grounding, compassionate, and real. This isn’t about judgment or quick fixes — it’s about finding your footing again and creating space for you.

FAQ
Q: Do I need to be a new mom to start therapy?
Not at all. I work with women through all stages of motherhood — from pregnancy to postpartum and beyond.
Q: What if I’ve already tried therapy before?
The right fit is everything. I specialize in moms, so our sessions are focused directly on the challenges you’re facing.
Q: Do you take insurance?
I’m an out-of-network provider, meaning I don’t bill insurance directly. Many clients choose private pay for the confidentiality and flexibility it allows. I can provide a superbill for possible reimbursement.
Q: How do I know if this is the right time?
If you’re here, something inside you already knows it’s time for support. You don’t have to wait until things get worse.
