Therapy for Moms in Laguna Beach, CA 🌊
For the Mom Who Looks “Fine” From the Outside — But Is Quietly Struggling Inside
Laguna Beach is beautiful —and motherhood here can be brutally overwhelming beneath the surface. The sunshine, ocean views, and wellness culture can make you feel like you should be happier… calmer… more grateful… more energized.
Instead, you might be:
Snapping at your partner
Feeling overstimulated from sunrise to bedtime
Carrying the entire mental load of pregnancy
Crying when no one’s watching
Trying to manage postpartum depression or postpartum anxiety
Feeling disconnected from yourself
Comparing yourself to other moms who seem to have it all together
If you’re exhausted from “pushing through,” from pretending you’re okay, or from feeling like you’re failing at motherhood… you’re not alone.
You’re overwhelmed — not broken.
And support is absolutely available for you.
⭐ Hi, I’m Alexa — Online Therapist for Laguna Beach Moms Seeking Relief & Clarity
I’m an OC native and founder of Therapy For California Moms. I am a licensed therapist (LMFT) specializing in pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood. I work with high-achieving California moms who are silently carrying far more than anyone realizes.
My clients often say things like:
“I don’t feel like myself anymore.”
“My anxiety won’t turn off.”
“I love my kids, but I feel so touched out.”
“I don’t want to resent my partner, but I do.”
“I feel judged by my family for not handling things better.”
Therapy with me is warm, grounding, and deeply validating. No pressure. No judgment. Just real emotional support that’s actually helpful.
Sessions are $275 and completely virtual — ideal for busy moms in Laguna Beach, whether you’re in North Laguna, Top of the World, Temple Hills, Arch Beach Heights, or anywhere along the coast.
⭐ Laguna Beach Moms Carry a Different Kind of Pressure
This community can be vibrant, artistic, wellness-focused — and also full of silent expectations.
✔️ “Be calm. Be present. Be grateful.”
But what if gratitude doesn’t cancel out exhaustion?
✔️ “You live in paradise — why are you struggling?”
Because postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety don’t care where you live.
✔️ “At least you have help.”
Support doesn’t cancel out emotional overload.
✔️ “Your baby is healthy — you should be fine.”
You can love your child deeply and still feel overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected.
You might feel like you “should” be coping better because everything looks good.
But motherhood isn’t an aesthetic — it’s an emotional experience, and yours matters.
⭐ What You Might Be Feeling (You Don’t Have to Hide It Anymore)
✔️ Postpartum depression
Sadness that comes in waves, irritability, crying spells, heaviness, numbness, guilt, or feeling unlike yourself.
✔️ Postpartum anxiety
Racing thoughts, “what if” spirals, intrusive worries, tension in your chest, or the feeling that your nervous system is always ON.
✔️ Mental load burnout
The never-ending cycle of planning, remembering, organizing, managing…
Even when your partner tries, it still feels like you hold everything.
✔️ Partner resentment
You love them — but the imbalance is draining.
✔️ Feeling judged by family or in-laws
Comments. Critiques. Unsolicited advice.
It’s exhausting carrying their expectations on top of everything else.
✔️ Overstimulation & “mom rage”
Noise, crying, constant interruptions — your body feels overwhelmed before your mind can catch up.
✔️ Losing your identity
You miss who you were — your personality, your confidence, your creativity, your joy.
You’re not dramatic. You’re not weak.
You’re a mom who hasn’t had real support.
⭐ How Therapy Helps You Feel Grounded Again
Therapy gives you a space that’s just for you — a calm, steady place to unload the weight you’ve been carrying and actually feel supported.
Together, we can help you:
• Feel more emotionally regulated
• Reduce symptoms of postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety
• Break the pattern of overthinking and catastrophizing
• Rebuild your sense of identity
• Improve communication and reduce resentment at home
• Set boundaries with your parents/in-laws
• Release mom guilt and pressure
• Feel lighter, calmer, and more empowered
You don’t need to “push through” anymore.
You can feel relief much sooner than you think.
