Therapy for Moms

Online Therapy for Moms in Chicago, Illinois

As a mother herself, and business owners, it is important to Abigail that moms take time to address their anxieties, grief, overwhelm, burnout and more. It can be difficult to know when to take the plunge and reach out to a professional for support. So, here are some symptoms to consider getting more support for if you are experiencing them.

You May Notice:

• Feeling like you’re not getting basic needs met day to day (i.e. eating, sleeping, hygiene all are disrupted or off balance and not prioritized in all that needs to be done).
• Getting easily frustrated and generally irritable with yourself, your kids, your spouse, and/or other individuals around you.
• Engaging in certain behaviors (mentally or physically) that you feel compelled to do and don’t feel like you have much control over whether you do them or not.
• Difficulty concentrating when you feel anxious or are around triggers that cause cycles of stuck thoughts and resulting compulsive behaviors.
• Avoiding people, places, things and activities due to your mood or fear of uncertainty going to do those things with your child/children.
• Overall feeling burnt out before even getting out of bed in the morning and the day starts. This can feel like we are “wishing time away” which then leads to complicated feelings of guilt and shame. 
• Even when you try to do self-care you feel dysregulating and disruptive guilt for taking that time.

You can expect to experience the following things when you see a therapist at Limitless Counseling Center:

A safe and supportive environment:

We create a safe and supportive environment where moms can feel comfortable sharing their thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgment.

Validation of emotions:

We help moms practice validating their emotions and normalize the challenges they face as mothers. This can help moms feel heard and understood and build skills of self compassion.

Exploration of identity:

Becoming a mother can bring about significant changes in a woman’s identity. We help moms explore their sense of self and adjust to their new role as a mother.

Coping skills:

We provide moms with coping skills to help them manage the stress and challenges of motherhood. This may include mindfulness techniques, relaxation exercises, or other strategies.

Relationship building:

We help moms build and strengthen their relationships with their children, partner, and other support systems. This can help moms feel more connected and supported.

Goal setting:

Lastly, we help moms set reasonable and achievable goals that align with their values and priorities. This can help moms feel more in control of their lives and more confident in their abilities as mothers.

Therapy for Moms is Inclusive for All Types of Moms

Therapy for moms is a crucial resource for women who are experiencing difficulties in their lives, particularly as they navigate the challenges of motherhood. It is important to note that therapy is inclusive to all types of mothers, regardless of their background or circumstances.

Surrogates and the LGBTQ Community

This means that therapy is available for surrogates, who may need support during the gestational process and the emotional journey of giving a child to another family. Therapy is also inclusive to LGBTQ mothers, who may face unique challenges related to discrimination, societal norms, and the legal recognition of their families.

Traditional and Single Moms

Traditional mothers can benefit from therapy as well, particularly as they face the many demands of raising children while also trying to balance their personal lives and careers. Single mothers may also benefit from therapy as they navigate the challenges of parenting without a partner.

Non-Gender Conforming

Finally, therapy is inclusive to non-gender mothers, who may identify outside of the traditional gender binary. These individuals may face unique challenges related to discrimination and societal norms, and therapy can provide a safe and supportive environment to explore these issues.

Therapy for Moms is a Resource for All

In short, therapy for moms is available to all types of mothers, regardless of their background or circumstances. It is a powerful resource that can provide support, guidance, and healing during the journey of motherhood.
