Online Postpartum Therapy for Moms Across California

You don't have to be in Los Angeles to get support that actually understands what postpartum feels like.

The Mother Hood is a maternal mental health practice based in Brentwood, LA — and through telehealth, we work with mothers anywhere in California. Whether you're in San Francisco, San Diego, Sacramento, the Central Valley, or somewhere in between, you can access the same specialized postpartum care without leaving your home.

California licensing means we can legally and ethically see any California resident. If you're a mom in this state and you're struggling — postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, rage, overwhelm, or just the quiet feeling that you've completely lost yourself — we're here for you, wherever here is.

What Online Postpartum Therapy Actually Looks Like

Online therapy at The Mother Hood happens through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. You log in from wherever you are — your car during nap time, your bedroom with the door locked, your living room after the kids are asleep. Sessions are 50 minutes. You show up, we show up.

There's no commute. No parking. No scrambling to find someone to watch the baby before you can get help for yourself. For most postpartum clients, that alone removes the biggest barrier to actually starting therapy.

If you've never done telehealth before: most clients are surprised by how present and connected the sessions feel. The distance is logistical, not emotional.

What We Treat

Postpartum is the word most people know, but it covers a lot of ground. We work with California moms navigating:

Postpartum depression — the persistent low, the disconnection, the flatness
Postpartum anxiety — the racing thoughts, the hypervigilance, the worst-case spirals
Postpartum rage — the anger that no one warned you about and that no one talks about
Birth trauma — when your delivery experience left a mark that won't fade
Pregnancy and infant loss — grief that deserves real, specialized support
The identity shift — feeling like you don't recognize yourself or your life anymore

This isn't general therapy. Every clinician at The Mother Hood specializes in maternal mental health. You won't spend your first three sessions explaining what the fourth trimester is.

Services Available Statewide

All of our core services are available to California moms via telehealth:

Individual Therapy — one-on-one sessions focused on your specific experience
Couples Therapy — working through what parenthood has done to your relationship, together
Group Therapy — connecting with other moms in California who genuinely understand
At-Home Postpartum Therapy — for those early weeks when leaving the house isn't realistic

If You're in the LA Area

If you're near Los Angeles and prefer to come in person, our Brentwood office is available to you. We see clients in person from Brentwood, Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades, Century City, Pasadena, and Burbank. Telehealth and in-person sessions can also be combined — many clients do both.
