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:

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.
