If you are the mom of a strong willed kid... 

 

You envisioned motherhood differently. You knew it would be hard, but not this hard. You imagined mostly joy, connection, and fun with a sprinkle of chaos and annoyance every now and then. But you have a kid who feels everything deeply, questions every boundary, and pushes every button. You might feel like you’re constantly walking on eggshells, bracing for the next meltdown, and desperately trying to figure out where you went wrong.

 

It's a constant tug-of-war between love and depletion, patience and rage, pride and guilt. You can't relate to other moms, and they can't relate to you. Schools, doctors, and society at large don't get it, and even worse ... blame you. 

 

The expectations of modern-day motherhood are impossible for any mom: work like you don’t have kids, and parent like you don’t have a job. Be calm, gentle, and endlessly nurturing no matter what ... or else. 

 

Whether you’re a working mom trying to stay present after long, overstimulating days, or a stay-at-home mom who rarely gets a moment alone, the pressure is relentless. You love your kid(s) deeply, but some days that love gets buried under exhaustion, resentment, or the quiet grief of realizing this season looks nothing like you thought it would. 

 

You’ve read the parenting books. You’ve tried the strategies. You’ve practiced calm voices and deep breaths. But when your child’s intensity meets your own dysregulated nervous system, it’s easy to lose yourself. It’s easy to forget that you’re human too, that you have needs, limits, and feelings that matter just as much as theirs.

 

Therapy for Moms at Mind. Body. PowHER. is a space where you are not responsible for the care taking. Where you can put that invisible load you’ve been carrying to the side for a moment and take care of you.  Here, we explore the stories and expectations that shape your experience, uncover what your body and mind are trying to tell you, and learn how to respond with compassion instead of criticism. You’ll learn new ways to regulate your nervous system, reconnect with your values, and parent from a place of steadiness, not survival. You’ll begin to rebuild trust with yourself and your child, not by doing more, but by giving yourself permission to be. 

 

You’re doing the best you can in a world that asks too much of mothers and offers far too little support.You don’t have to keep holding it all together alone. You deserve a space to fall apart, be seen, and begin again.

 

Let’s honor the complexity of your experience and help you feel more grounded, more supported, and more you again.
