Therapy For Pregnant + Postpartum Women in Sherman Oaks, CA ✨
Motherhood isn’t supposed to break you — yet between the sleepless nights, the crushing mental load, and the guilt of never feeling ‘enough,’ it can feel like you’re unraveling.
Therapy is where you can finally lay it all down, be seen without judgment, and start putting the pieces back together in a way that actually feels whole.
Therapy for Moms in Sherman Oaks, California ✨
Behind the stroller walks and school drop-offs in Sherman Oaks, so many moms are secretly drowning in postpartum depression, anxiety, and the relentless pressure to hold it all together.
It doesn’t need to stay this way, therapy can help!
From the outside, it may look like you’ve got it all figured out — balancing motherhood, career, and everything in between. But inside, it feels like you’re constantly one step away from breaking. Maybe you cry in the shower before preschool pickup. Maybe your mind races at night and sleep feels impossible. Maybe the guilt of not “enjoying every moment” weighs heavy, even though you’re doing everything you can.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to keep pushing through it by yourself.
Why Sherman Oaks Moms Work With Me
I specialize in working with high-achieving women in Sherman Oaks who are navigating the messy, overwhelming, and often isolating realities of motherhood. Many of the moms I see are:
🌿 Pregnant and filled with anxiety about what life will look like once the baby arrives
🌿 Newly postpartum and wondering why they don’t feel the way they thought they “should”
🌿 Struggling with postpartum depression or postpartum anxiety and feeling disconnected from themselves
🌿 Perfectionists exhausted by the pressure to “do it all”
🌿 Moms carrying resentment, shame, or rage they never expected to feel
Therapy is where you can finally put down the pressure to be perfect and start to feel like yourself again.
A Little About Me
Hi, I’m Alexa — a licensed therapist, mom of two and founder of Therapy For California Moms. I know firsthand how disorienting and consuming motherhood can feel. It’s not about always loving every moment; it’s about surviving nights that feel endless, mornings when you’re already running on empty, and years where your own needs seem to disappear.
My approach is warm, real, and deeply focused on moms. Clients often tell me that therapy with me feels like the first place where they can actually exhale. This isn’t about judgment, toxic positivity, or platitudes — it’s about creating space where you can untangle the overwhelm, find clarity, and begin to trust yourself again.

✨ Reconnect with the parts of you that feel lost or buried
✨ Learn how to set boundaries, regulate your emotions, and show up for yourself (without the pressure to be perfect)
✨ Use gentle, supportive approaches like IFS (Internal Family Systems) to explore the complex parts of your story

FAQ
Q: Do I need to be a new mom to start therapy?
No. I work with women at every stage — from pregnancy to postpartum to moms juggling toddlers and school-aged kids.
Q: What if I’ve already tried therapy and it didn’t help?
Finding the right therapist makes all the difference. I specialize in working specifically with moms, so sessions are focused on what you’re actually experiencing day to day.
Q: Do you take insurance?
I’m an out-of-network provider, which means I don’t work directly with insurance companies. Many of my clients choose private pay for the privacy, flexibility, and personalized care it allows. If helpful, I can provide a superbill for potential reimbursement.
Q: How do I know if this is the right time?
If you’ve found yourself here, chances are you already know something needs to change. You don’t have to wait until things feel unbearable — support now can make a huge difference.
