Motherhood - where you transform, every step of the way. Being a mom changes everything: your energy, your priorities, your identity. At Blaire Melius Counseling, we specialize in therapy for moms across Massachusetts and New Jersey, offering secure, HIPAA-compliant virtual sessions so you can access support from the comfort of your home - in your leggings, during nap time, or while juggling the never-ending mental to-do list.

When Motherhood Feels Heavy

​

No one told you it would feel like this — like you're constantly needed, constantly giving, and rarely sure if you're doing it “right.” You might be:

• Emotionally drained, anxious, or overstimulated

• Snapping at your partner or crying behind closed doors

• Missing the version of yourself from before kids

• Struggling to feel connected to your body or your identity

• Feeling guilty for wanting a break, or for not “loving every minute”

• Resenting your partner & feeling like you're carrying all of the mental load

Whether you're a new mom or years into motherhood, know that this is valid. You're not the only one, and you're not meant to carry it all alone.

What We Work on Together

​

Therapy for moms isn't about fixing you — it’s about making space for you.

Together, we explore the real, nuanced emotional landscape of motherhood. This is a space where you don’t have to perform, pretend, or push through. Common themes we work on in therapy for moms include:

• Reconnecting with your identity beyond the role of “mom”

• Managing the invisible mental load and daily overwhelm

• Coping with anxiety, resentment, irritability, or guilt

• Processing identity shifts that come with motherhood

• Navigating relationship changes with partners, family, or friends

• Holding boundaries and prioritizing your own needs (without guilt)

• Making space for joy, creativity, and rest — not just survival

• Balancing the demands of work, parenting, and your inner world

​

You don’t have to wait until you’re burnt out or broken to get support. You deserve care now, simply because you're human - and you're doing one of the hardest jobs there is.

Why Choose a Perinatal Therapist?

​

As therapists with extensive training from Postpartum Support International, we bring specialized training in the emotional, hormonal, and identity-related changes that accompany every stage of motherhood — from trying to conceive to early parenting and beyond. Whether you're in the trenches of toddlerhood, navigating school-age transitions, or simply trying to remember who you are outside of caregiving, therapy for moms is a place where your needs matter too.
