Supporting You Through Life’s Challenges
Life is full of twists, turns, and unexpected changes. At times, it can feel overwhelming—whether you’re dealing with a specific challenge, struggling with your mental health, or simply feeling stuck. At Matrescence Therapy, we believe you don’t have to navigate those moments alone.
Therapy offers a safe and supportive space to explore your thoughts and feelings, understand yourself on a deeper level, and develop strategies to cope, grow, and thrive. No matter where you are in your journey, we’re here to walk alongside you with compassion and care.
Creating space for your wellbeing.
Individual therapy is a place just for you—to process what’s on your mind, reflect on your experiences, and gain new tools for handling whatever life brings. Whether you’re facing a specific mental health concern, adjusting to a major life change, or simply wanting to improve your overall wellbeing, therapy can help you feel more grounded and empowered.
Have you been experiencing:
- Anxiety, panic, or constant worrying
- Persistent sadness, hopelessness, or loss of motivation
- Stress from work, relationships, or life changes
- Difficulty communicating or setting healthy boundaries
- Unresolved pain from past experiences or trauma
- Feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of your next step
- Low self-esteem or lack of confidence
Care designed for you.
Sessions are typically 45-55 minutes long and done from the comfort of your own home. Our therapists are skilled in addressing a wide range of issues, including managing stress, balancing work and life, mental health concerns, and more. Our first session will discuss how you have been feeling lately, and we will learn a little more about you. We will then work together to create a plan to help you start feeling better. Our approach provides support in a way that fits your busy lifestyle:
- Virtual Therapy: Sessions are held online, so you can attend therapy from the comfort of your own home. You’re welcome to have your children with you if needed, ensuring that you never have to choose between your family and your well-being.
- Experienced Therapists: Our therapists specialize in parenting challenges and postpartum mental health. You’ll work with someone who truly understands what you’re going through and can offer expert guidance.
- Compassionate Care: We create a warm, understanding environment where you feel heard, supported, and never judged. Your experience is unique, and we approach every session with respect and empathy.
- Ongoing Support: Therapy isn’t just about one-time solutions—it’s a long-term process. We’re here to support you on your parenting journey, helping you build the skills and resilience you need to face challenges and thrive as a parent.
What is Matrescence?
Matrescence is the physical, psychological, and emotional change that occurs during the process of becoming a mother. However, here at Matrescence we consider it to be ALL parenthood, not just motherhood. It is considered a developmental phase, much like adolescence, that can involve a variety of things such as hormonal shifts, body changes, identity reconstruction, and relationship transitions. The four components that contribute to the challenges of matrescence are:
- Changing Family Dynamics: adding a child or children to a relationship undoubtedly causes strain and stress
- Ambivalence: the push and pull of wanting a baby close, but also an intense desire for space
- Fantasy vs. Reality: anticipating parenthood will go one way, and then discovering it may look different
- Guilt and Shame: fear that one may never live up to the “perfect” parent.
If you and/or your partner feel these challenges, contact us to learn more about
how we can help.
