Motherhood changes everything. The joy, the exhaustion, the identity shift, the pressure to do it all perfectly—sometimes all in the same hour. It’s one of the most profound transitions you’ll ever experience, and it’s completely normal to struggle as you find your footing.
At The Mother Hood LA, we know that getting the support you need can feel impossible when you’re in the thick of it. That’s why we offer Postpartum Therapy in Los Angeles, including at-home sessions designed to meet you exactly where you are—literally.
Whether you’re recovering from birth, adjusting to life with a newborn, or simply trying to remember who you are outside of “mom,” our team of specialized therapists is here to help you heal, rest, and rediscover yourself.
At-Home Therapy for New Moms
Sometimes, moms need therapy most when getting out of the house is the hardest. We get it. Packing a diaper bag, finding childcare, and showing up on time for an appointment can feel like climbing Everest when you’re exhausted and emotionally spent.
That’s why our Los Angeles-based therapists bring therapy right to your couch. We come to you, creating a safe, nurturing environment where you can speak openly—no rushing, no pressure, no pretending you’re fine when you’re not.
And yes, we’ve been known to hold the baby so you can use the bathroom in peace. Think of us as your personal mental health doula—someone who understands that postpartum recovery isn’t just physical, it’s emotional, relational, and deeply personal.
What We Focus On
Postpartum therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. Every mother’s experience is unique, but here are some of the most common areas we help with:
Postpartum Depression, Anxiety, and OCD These conditions are far more common than most moms realize. You might feel constant worry, sadness, racing thoughts, or intrusive images that make you question your sanity. You’re not broken—and you’re definitely not alone.
Finding Calm in the Chaos Together, we’ll create realistic, gentle practices to bring moments of peace into your day, even if it’s just two minutes of deep breathing between feedings.
Trusting Your Instincts Everyone seems to have an opinion about what’s “best” for your baby. We’ll help you reconnect to your own intuition and confidence as a mother.
Processing Your Birth Experience Whether your delivery went precisely as planned or felt traumatic, we’ll create space to process what happened—because your story matters.
Redefining Identity Motherhood changes your sense of self. We’ll help you explore how to integrate who you were before the baby with who you are now.
Partner & Relationship Support Parenthood can strain even the strongest relationships. We’ll teach communication tools to help you and your partner stay connected through this transition.
Our Approach
At The Mother Hood LA, our therapists specialize in maternal mental health and perinatal mood disorders. We provide evidence-based, compassionate care tailored to the postpartum period.
Our sessions are grounded in:
Validation and safety. You can say anything here—your darkest thoughts, your biggest fears—and you’ll be met with empathy, not judgment.
Practical tools. We’ll help you build small, actionable strategies that make daily life more manageable.
Connection over perfection. We focus on helping you feel human again, not like you have to perform “perfect mom.”
Flexibility. Sessions are offered in your home or online, depending on your needs and comfort level.
Why Postpartum Therapy Matters
You’ve probably heard “It takes a village.” But modern motherhood often feels like doing everything alone while pretending you’re fine.
Here’s the truth: postpartum therapy isn’t just for when you’re in crisis. It’s for any mom who feels off balance, overwhelmed, or like herself got lost somewhere between feedings and diaper changes.
Therapy gives you space to:
Slow down and catch your breath
Feel seen and understood
Learn tools to manage anxiety and overwhelm
Rebuild confidence in yourself and your parenting
Strengthen your relationships
Find hope again
Your mental health matters as much as your baby’s feeding schedule or sleep routine. You deserve support that centers you.
What to Expect in Postpartum Therapy
Step One: We Come to You
After your consultation, your therapist will schedule a time to visit your home (or meet virtually if you prefer). We’ll start by simply talking—no pressure, no checklist, just getting to know you and your current challenges.
Step Two: Understanding Your Story
We’ll explore your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experiences to understand what’s shaping how you feel now. Whether you’re grieving a difficult delivery, struggling with intrusive thoughts, or adjusting to your new identity, we’ll hold that space with care.
Step Three: Personalized Support Plan
Together, we’ll create a plan that fits your life. This may include mindfulness techniques, emotional regulation tools, partner communication strategies, and coping skills tailored to your needs.
Step Four: Ongoing Care and Healing
Our goal isn’t just to get you through this phase—it’s to help you build resilience and self-trust that lasts well beyond the postpartum period.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is postpartum therapy only for mothers with depression?
No. While postpartum depression is common, therapy also helps with anxiety, rage, intrusive thoughts, adjustment stress, or even just feeling “not like yourself.”
What if I don’t have time or energy for therapy?
That’s exactly why we come to you. Our at-home therapy is designed to fit your reality—no traffic, no logistics, no pressure to look put together.
Can I have my baby with me during sessions?
Absolutely. Many moms nurse, feed, or rock their baby during therapy. Your therapist understands the rhythm of life with a newborn.
Do you offer virtual sessions?
Yes. We provide virtual postpartum therapy across California for those outside the Los Angeles area or who prefer online sessions.
Is therapy confidential?
Yes. Your privacy is always protected. What you share stays between you and your therapist.
What if I’m not sure it’s “bad enough” for therapy?
If you’re wondering that, it’s probably time. You don’t need to hit a breaking point to call for help.
