Therapy for Overwhelmed Moms in
Bolingbook, Illinois
Support Navigating Stress and Parenting Burnout
Are you overwhelmed by the expectations of life—constantly juggling parenting, household responsibilities, and the pressure to hold it all together, often with a smile?
The mental load, emotional exhaustion, and unspoken responsibilities of motherhood can quietly build into burnout and resentment in your partnership—even when you deeply love your family.
You're Not Failing-You're Responding to
Real Pressure
If you feel exhausted before the day even begins, you’re not broken — you’re carrying an invisible workload that rarely gets acknowledged.
The mental load of motherhood isn’t just about tasks. It’s about constantly anticipating needs, managing emotions (yours and
everyone else’s), and staying functional no matter how depleted you feel.
If any of this feels familiar, we're here for you~
-
Resenting your partner, your kids, or your situation, and then turning that frustration inward.
-
Not liking how you’re showing up in your relationships, snapping more easily, withdrawing, or feeling emotionally distant, even though you deeply care about the people you love.
-
Wanting rest and support but not knowing what that realistically looks like, especially in a season where slowing down feels impossible and asking for help feels complicated.
-
Losing touch with who you are outside of being “mom,” missing parts of yourself you can’t quite name and wondering if they’ll ever come back.
