Therapy for overwhelmed working moms juggling careers, motherhood, and the mental load of everything
Work-Life Balance Therapy in DC & Northern Virginia
Therapy for Burnout, Mental Load & Work-Life Imbalance
You’re expected to show up at work like you don’t have kids, and at home like you don’t have a job. And somewhere in the middle, you’re losing yourself.
Most women we work with aren’t “bad at balance,” they’re carrying too much. You’re managing deadlines, childcare, meals, schedules, emotional labor, and the constant pressure to keep everything running smoothly.
You’re exhausted, irritable, and stuck in a loop of getting through the day without ever feeling caught up.
There’s often guilt no matter where you are: at work, you feel like you should be home. At home, you feel like you’re falling behind at work. And it never actually feels like enough.
This isn’t about time management. It’s about what you’re carrying, and why it feels so heavy.
what therapy looks like here
We don’t hand you productivity hacks or unrealistic routines. This is about understanding the pressure you’re under, the expectations you’ve internalized, and the patterns that keep you stuck in overdrive.
We help you untangle the mental load, shift how you’re making decisions, and reduce the constant guilt and urgency that follows you through your day.
What this can look like:
-
Identifying invisible labor and redistributing responsibilities
-
Setting boundaries at work and at home without spiraling
-
Reducing guilt around productivity, parenting, and rest
-
Understanding why you feel like you can’t slow down
-
Creating space for yourself without feeling like everything will fall apart
