Personalized Therapy for Mothers in Massachusetts Science-Driven.Experience-Led
Here..it’s personal.
Meet Alexandra Nataloni, LMHC, a therapist and mother with a decade of experience.
Hi! I'm Alexandra Nataloni (I go by Ali) a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC #MA10797) in Massachusetts with over a decade of clinical experience, specializing in anxiety therapy and maternal mental health for working mothers.
When I became a mom, I quickly realized how little support society offers high-performing women and mothers—and how intense the pressure is to “do it all.” As a high-functioning, millenial working mom, myself, I saw firsthand how these expectations take a real toll on maternal mental health.
Quite frankly, motherhood rocked me, and if I was feeling this way, other women were too, and that was unacceptable to me. I am high-achieving, high-functioning, and I was completely missed by the system at the six week check-in of ten-question boxes to check off. Motherhood for my reality was looking “fine” on the outside and screaming on the inside. That’s why I built my practice..if I help even just one mother feel seen, heard and supported, I’ve done my job.
Women and mothers matter, and we deserve competent, compassionate, specialized care. It’s my passion to support women who give so much, and to ensure they don’t have to carry it all alone, especially if their “village” looks a little different or isn’t there at all as you expected it to be.
As a working mom with two little ones I understand that busy, working moms have little time-I likely have the same issue. That’s why I make it a point to make therapy with me fit into your schedule, not the other way around. It’s my goal to prevent you from falling through the cracks or pushing your needs aside.
You can trust that when you work with me, you’re with a competent, caring clinician who not only understands from lived experience but also brings the science and clinical expertise to support you. I’m not just going to tell you to take a deep breathe and meditate. Who has time for that?
In our space, I invite you to let the “shoulds” fall away. For once, you get to consider what you truly want—who you want to be—without carrying everyone else’s needs or expectations. Here, you can put yourself first, reconnect with your inner strength, and grow into a more calm and confident version of yourself.
I am so honored to have helped so many high-performing moms achieve peace and calm in the chaos of motherhood, partnership and professional life and invite you to take the next step.
Get to know me and access education and resources on my resource page, or better yet, connect with me over a free consultation or follow me on instagram where you can start feeling confident now.
What’s different with me.
I get the high-achieving mom grind. I work with driven, capable moms—lawyers, doctors, entrepreneurs, and leaders—who look like they have it all together, but feel constantly on edge because they are the entire village. You’re not just managing a career and a family; you’re managing the crushing reality that if you stop, everything stops. I get what that feels like. You’re not broken. You’re simply carrying a load designed for ten people, and you’re doing it with two hands.
Therapy with me isn’t about slowing you down or asking you to "do less" when there’s no one else to do it. If you’ve ever been to therapy, you know how frustrating it is when you don’t know why
Together, we determine the root of the way you’re feeling, and create practical ways that fit your life so you can thrive without burning out, so your success doesn't come at the cost of your nervous system, your joy, or the connection you have with your children, partner and your workplace.
My approach is person-centered, collaborative, and deeply practical—because your life is already full and your "support system" might currently just be you. I am not just going to sit and nod. You don’t have time for that, and neither do I-we’re moms. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Person-Centered Therapy (PCT) and depth work to help you:
Dismantle the "Village-less" Resentment: Processing the grief from feeling like you don’t have the support you need-whether that be in your partnership or other family members- so it stops draining your battery.
Quiet the Daycare & Career Guilt: Shifting from "I’m failing them" and “I am not doing enough” to "I am providing for them," without the constant internal audit.
Master Your Nervous System: Building emotional steadiness that doesn’t disappear when the sitter cancels or work gets loud.
Heal Your Relationships: When you stop operating from a place of "debt" and "deficit," the nature of your connections shifts from reactive friction to collaborative ease.
Navigate Anxiety & Identity Shifts: help you understand and move through anxiety that arises during matrescence—supporting you in redefining who you are beyond roles, expectations, and pressure so you can feel grounded and aligned again.
Learn that when mom is good, everyone’s good. nothing else.
We won’t just talk about your thoughts; we’ll work with the reality of your schedule and your emotions so you can feel at peace, confident, and steady again. My work is highly individualized. I listen for what’s happening beneath the surface and offer practices you can apply immediately—at work, in the car, and in those quiet moments when the house is finally still. No childcare? No problem-bring baby to our session!
Stop performing your life and start living it. You don’t need a different version of yourself; you need a space where you can finally put down the weight and pressure of "giving the perfect life”. No one needs you to be perfect.
