Therapy for Boundaries & People-Pleasing in Working Moms

Do you say yes when you want to say no, carry responsibility that isn’t yours, or feel guilty for needing rest? Many working moms struggle with boundaries and people-pleasing, especially when everyone seems to need something from them — work, kids, partners, family.

People-pleasing often develops from being “the reliable one” or “the default parent”, but over time it creates resentment, exhaustion, and emotional overwhelm. You may feel responsible for others’ feelings, avoid conflict, or push your own needs aside until you’re depleted.

In therapy, we explore why setting boundaries feels so hard and help you practice doing it without guilt or fear of disappointing others. You’ll learn how to protect your energy, communicate your needs clearly, and stop overextending yourself just to keep the peace.

You are allowed to have limits and honoring them doesn’t make you selfish. Telehealth therapy in Massachusetts can help you create boundaries that support your mental health and your relationships.
