Recognize Yourself Again in Motherhood:

California-Based Therapy for Modern Moms and Future Moms Managing Anxiety, People-Pleasing, and Identity Changes

Ellie Messinger-Adams LPCC Therapist for Moms

Is the pressure to be the 'perfect mom' draining your joy and peace?

Motherhood isn’t the dream you envisioned. Long nights and busy days leave you feeling anxious, irritable, and drained, with guilt for not being the mom you hoped to be. You want to enjoy time with your kids, partner, friends, or career, but something’s blocking your inner peace.

Maybe you’ve lost yourself in motherhood or family planning, always putting others first. The pressure to "have it all" has left you overwhelmed, disconnected, and worried. You might find yourself saying "yes" when you really want to say "no," struggling with people-pleasing tendencies and the expectations of modern moms.

No judgment here—I’ve been there too.

It doesn’t have to be this way! While burnout is common for both modern moms and future moms, we can work together to help you reconnect with your true self. Through holistic, mind-body therapy, I’ll help you build confidence, set boundaries, and regulate emotions. You’ll learn to show up grounded, confident, and present for your kids, your family, and most importantly, for YOURSELF.
