Compassionate Support for Mothers at Every Stage
Motherhood is often described as beautiful (and it is) - but it is also complex, stressful, exhausting and at time, seemingly impossible. Whether you’re navigating the fertility process, the early years or the teen phase, you’ve likely asked yourself something along the lines of:
“Why does everyone else have it together and I don’t?”
“Why do I feel so alone, even when I’m surrounded by others?”
“Am I doing enough for my kids? Am I a good-enough mother?”
At Chestnut Hill Therapy, I offer specialized, virtual therapy for moms across Massachusetts and New Hampshire, designed to meet you wherever you are.
Common Challenges Moms Face and How Therapy Can Help
Motherhood can bring up many emotional challenges including:
Anxiety about your children’s health (physical and emotional), future or your parenting decisions
Postpartum struggles, including postpartum depression or anxiety
Identity loss - feeling disconnected from the “you” you knew before motherhood
Guilt and perfectionism - the sense thar you’re never doing enough, and what you’re doing just isn’t good enough
Body image issues or disordered eating, especially after pregnancy and major life transitions
Burnout and emotional exhaustion
Through therapy, you can:
Find a space to breath and reconnect with yourself
Develop coping skills for anxiety and overwhelm
Heal your relationship with food and your body
Build a more compassionate inner voice (no more inner critic)
Set healthier boundaries - with your family, your work and yourself
