Therapy for Moms in San Mateo, California 🌿
You’re the One Holding Everything Together — But Inside, You’re Falling Apart
From the outside, life in San Mateo looks good: safe neighborhoods, great schools, busy careers, family-friendly parks. But behind closed doors, you’re stretched so thin it feels like you might snap.
Motherhood wasn’t supposed to feel like this:
🌿 You’re constantly juggling kids’ schedules, work deadlines, and the endless mental load.
🌿 You feel irritable, touched out, or resentful — especially with your partner.
🌿 You miss the version of yourself who felt calm, connected, and more than just the mom holding it all together.
🌿 And the guilt creeps in — “I should be grateful… so why do I feel so depleted?”
This isn’t just stress. This is what happens when you’ve been running on empty for too long.
👉 Therapy for moms in San Mateo gives you a place to exhale, process what’s really happening, and finally start to feel like yourself again.

FAQ About Therapy for Moms in San Mateo
Do you only work with postpartum moms?
No. While I specialize in pregnancy and postpartum, I also support moms of toddlers, preschoolers, and young kids who are overwhelmed, burnt out, or resentful.
What if I don’t live right in San Mateo?
I see clients all over California through secure online therapy. If you live in Palo Alto, Mountain View, Burlingame, or anywhere in the Bay Area, you’re welcome to work with me.
How do I know if it’s postpartum depression or just stress?
Postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety often show up as more than “normal stress.” If you’re experiencing ongoing sadness, irritability, worry, guilt, or feeling disconnected from yourself or your baby, therapy can help you sort through what’s happening and find relief.
How much does therapy cost?
Sessions are $275 each. I’m an out-of-network provider, but I can give you superbills for PPO insurance reimbursement if your plan allows.
What if my partner and I are fighting all the time?
You’re not alone — this is one of the most common things I hear from moms. Therapy gives you a space to process resentment, learn tools for communication, and stop feeling like you’re carrying everything by yourself.
Is online therapy really effective?
Yes. Research shows online therapy is just as effective as in-person sessions — with the added convenience of no commute or childcare hassle. Most of my clients say they wouldn’t be able to show up consistently otherwise.
