Motherhood & Identity
Therapy for women & moms in Charlotte, NC
Perinatal & Postpartum Mental Healthcare
Motherhood is not just a phase—it’s a profound identity shift.
Whether you’re pregnant, newly postpartum, or years into parenting, many women in Charlotte, NC experience maternal mental health challenges such as postpartum anxiety, perinatal or postpartum depression, emotional overwhelm, and loss of self.
You don’t have to navigate these struggles alone. Therapy is a space for your experience as a mother—not just about how your baby is doing.
What We Focus On:
Processing birth trauma, identity loss, or emotional shifts in motherhood
Understanding the roots of maternal burnout and mental health struggles
Working with guilt, rage, or grief that often feel unspoken
Rebuilding your sense of self through IFS, EMDR, and relational care
You don’t have to love every moment.
You just need a space where you’re allowed to feel all of them.
You are not alone.
Pregnant or just had a baby? You are not alone.
The National Maternal Mental Health Hotline is
