Therapy for Career Mothers
Virtual Therapy Across Massachusetts
“Do it with a baby on your hip.”
-Alexandra Nataloni, LMHC
You used to know exactly who you were and what you wanted.
Before kids, you knew what you wanted, you went after it. You knew what you loved, your identity was clear.
Now you're not so sure. You find yourself questioning everything: “Do I really want to be the VP?” or “is it time to step into something new?”. These questions pop up because the path was created by one version of you, and now you’re tying to see if it still fits the person you’ve become.
There's a version of you that used to trust your own judgment completely and lately she feels harder to find. It seems like you’re replaced with the feeling of monotony in a job you used to love and ace and guilt that you’re not witnessing every waking moment of your kid’s life.
And somewhere along the way, you stopped trusting whether wanting more for yourself was even allowed anymore.
Let’s go find her again
You don't have to choose between being ambitious and being present. You don't have to shrink your career to prove you're a good mother, and you don't have to feel like you’ve abandoned your family to prove you're a serious boss babe.
Imagine starting that business you’ve always dreamed of with confidence and clarity instead of desperation.
Know that both motherhood and a thriving career was what you were built for.
That’s where I come in.
I help my clients build the confidence to know they can be the best version of themselves in their career and in motherhood.
Confidence you own.
The kind that says no and doesn't apologize for it. The kind that walks into the boardroom and picks up from school the same day and calls it power. The kind that stops asking permission to take up space and just takes it.
You built a whole human.
You can build a business.
You can lead a team and lead a bedtime routine.
You were never meant to choose..you were built to have it all without doing it all.
Career Mom Therapy: Frequently Asked Questions
-
Before kids, you knew exactly who you were professionally and where you wanted to go. Now you're second-guessing everything; whether to stay put, shift into something new, or step away from your career path entirely (hello mom guilt). Trying to hold onto your ambition while carrying everything else at home has become exhausting in a way it never used to be. Therapy for career moms gives you space to work through that uncertainty and figure out your next move from a place of clarity, not depletion.
-
Yes. Guilt in mothers who have a career outside of the home occurs often, and it can be addressed. In therapy, we’ll work on learning about what guilt actually is and why you having a life and career outside of being a mother does not make you a bad one.
-
Kids changed your relationship. Two demanding careers changed it more. What's left is a distance neither of you planned for; surface-level conversations, rare intimacy. Therapy helps you reconnect instead of reacting.
-
This is the space where we process the unwavering pressure and guilt that you’re not present enough after becoming a mom. Its the space that you can honestly decide what is best for you, not anyone else. That may mean taking a step back from work. The point being that it is a space without judgement or pressure that allows you to process and learn what will benefit you.
-
Yes! My practice is solely virtual to help the busy mom fit in time for herself without missing out on anything else.
-
“Working mom guilt" is real. When you are the primary provider AND caregiver, the pressure is immense. We work on realizing your career as a vital part of your identity and your family’s stability, helping you release the shame and find peace in the childcare choices that allow your family to thrive.
