Therapy for Moms in Los Altos, California
Postpartum Support for the High-Functioning, Quietly Struggling Mom
From the outside, everything looks fine. You are showing up, your kids are healthy, and you're doing all the things — managing the household, juggling work (or the mental load of staying home), keeping everyone on schedule. But inside?
You’re unraveling.
If you're a mom in Los Altos, you’re likely used to achieving — school, career, parenting. You know how to keep it together. But lately, you’ve felt like you’re holding on by a thread. The smallest things set you off. You’re overwhelmed, reactive, and tired in your bones. You might even be wondering:
Is this just what motherhood is now?
If you’re nodding along, you’re not alone. And you don’t have to keep doing it all on your own.
The Unseen Pressure of Motherhood in Los Altos
Los Altos is a beautiful place to raise a family — but that beauty can mask the pressure cooker so many moms are quietly living in.
🌿 You’re surrounded by high standards — in parenting, in your relationship with your partner, in appearance.
🌿 You're expected to be grateful — and you are — but you're also drowning.
🌿 The moms around you seem to be doing just fine, so you stay silent.
🌿 You carry the invisible mental load of 10 jobs, but no one notices.
🌿 You feel guilty for struggling — and even more guilty for wanting time alone.
Whether you’re deep in the trenches of new motherhood, navigating relationship challenges, or simply exhausted from years of being the glue, therapy can be the space where you finally get to stop holding it all together.
You Might Be Struggling With:
Constant overstimulation and feeling touched out
Resentment in your relationship — even though you love your partner
Feeling irritable, snappy, and reactive with your kids
A deep sense of grief for the version of yourself that felt light and free
Physical symptoms of stress — tight chest, headaches, racing thoughts
Quiet anxiety about how long you can keep going like this
You may be experiencing postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, or burnout — but no one would know, because you’re still showing up. Still checking the boxes. Still pushing through.

Postpartum Depression + Postpartum Anxiety Support in Los Altos
If you’re navigating postpartum depression, you might feel emotionally numb, hopeless, or disconnected from your baby. You may be going through the motions while secretly feeling like you're failing.
If you're facing postpartum anxiety, you might be dealing with racing thoughts, intrusive fears, or a sense of constant vigilance that never lets you rest.
Either way, you deserve support that actually supports you — without pathologizing, minimizing, or rushing your process.
