Therapy For Pregnant + Postpartum Women in Carlsbad, CA ✨
Behind the calm of Carlsbad’s ocean views, so many moms are quietly carrying postpartum depression, anxiety, and the overwhelming weight of motherhood. You don’t have to do it alone. Therapy is here to get you the support you deserve.
Support For Pregnant + Postpartum Women in the Thick of Motherhood ✨
Even in Carlsbad, where everything looks polished, motherhood can leave you drowning in postpartum depression, anxiety, and the relentless pressure to hold it all together.
The ocean views, beach walks, and family outings might look picture-perfect on the outside. But what people don’t see is how heavy things feel behind the scenes. You’re juggling the sleepless nights, the endless mental load, the pressure to “do it all” — and wondering if you’ll ever feel like yourself again.
Motherhood isn’t supposed to break you. And yet, between the exhaustion, anxiety, and the constant judgment from others, you feel like you’re falling apart inside.
That’s where therapy comes in.
🌿 Therapy for Pregnancy, Postpartum, and Beyond
I help moms in Carlsbad and across San Diego navigate:
✨ Postpartum depression that leaves you feeling numb, weepy, or detached
✨ Postpartum anxiety with racing thoughts, panic, or never-ending “what ifs”
✨ The resentment and distance building in your marriage or partnership
✨ Rage, guilt, shame, and exhaustion you never expected to feel
✨ The crushing pressure of being the “default parent” who holds it all
You don’t have to white-knuckle your way through this season.
🌿 Hey, I’m Alexa
I’m a therapist, a wife, and a mom of two little ones. I founded Therapy For California Moms because I know firsthand how much pressure women carry in motherhood — and how isolating it can feel when you’re supposed to be “grateful” but instead you’re running on fumes.
For the past 10+ years, I’ve helped moms move through pregnancy, postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and the overwhelming mental load of motherhood. My clients come to me when they’re ready for more than survival mode.
Therapy is where you get to exhale. It’s a judgment-free space where you can be real, messy, and human — and still fully embraced and supported.
🌿 Together We’ll Work On:
✨ Releasing guilt, shame, rage, and racing thoughts
✨ Finding balance between your own needs + your family’s demands
✨ Healing resentment and feeling closer to your partner again
✨ Reclaiming the grounded, confident version of yourself
🌿 Therapy in Carlsbad — Without the Commute
All sessions are held virtually, so you can get the support you deserve without traffic, parking, or packing a diaper bag.
📌 Book your session today. You don’t have to keep carrying this alone — and together, we can help you feel like yourself again.
Nice To Meet You! I’m Alexa.

✨ A new way of showing up for yourself without abandoning the people you love
You’re not selfish for needing support. You’re human. ✨

🌿 FAQ: Therapy for Moms in Carlsbad, CA
Q: Do you specialize in postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety?
Yes — I specialize in supporting moms through pregnancy, postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and the overwhelming mental load of motherhood. Therapy gives you a safe place to process the guilt, rage, shame, and exhaustion you may be carrying, while finding tools that actually help.
Q: Do I need to be a new mom to start therapy?
Not at all. I work with women in every stage of motherhood — from pregnancy and postpartum to raising toddlers and school-age kids. It’s never “too early” or “too late” to get support.
Q: Do you offer in-person therapy in Carlsbad?
My practice is fully virtual, which means you can have therapy from the comfort of your home — no driving on the 5, no traffic, no diaper bags. Many Carlsbad moms love the flexibility of online therapy because it fits into their busy lives.
Q: Do you take insurance?
I’m an out-of-network provider, which means I don’t bill insurance directly. Many clients choose private pay for the confidentiality, flexibility, and premium level of care it allows. If helpful, I can provide a superbill you may submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement.
Q: How do I know if therapy is right for me?
If you’ve found yourself here, chances are something already feels too heavy to keep carrying alone. Therapy is for you if you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, anxious, or not like yourself — and you’re ready for change.
Q: What can I expect in the first session?
In our first session, we’ll talk about what’s been hardest for you and what you want to shift. You don’t need to prepare anything or have it all figured out — just showing up is enough. Together, we’ll create a plan that feels supportive and doable.
