AWE Therapy PLLC
Empowering Motherhood
Motherhood changes you in ways you never expected or could prepare for—therapy helps you navigate that transformation.



Do you feel like you’re drowning in the mental load of motherhood? Do you question whether you're doing enough, no matter how much you give? Are you exhausted but unable to rest, overwhelmed but afraid to ask for help? Do intrusive thoughts or guilt creep in when you least expect it?
Motherhood is beautiful, but it can also feel isolating, relentless, and heavier than you imagined.
However, you are not alone.
Baby Blues
while the “baby blues” peak around day 4-5 postpartum and resolve within two weeks, PPD and other PMADs can develop anytime within the first two years.

experience scary, unwanted thoughts (like fears of harm coming to their baby). These thoughts can feel distressing, but they don’t mean you will act on them. Therapy can help you work through them.
Becoming a parent is a profound transformation—one that can bring joy, uncertainty, and emotional complexity. Therapy provides a safe, confidential space to process these changes, ease stress, strengthen relationships, and help you feel more grounded and confident in your role.
