Motherhood Therapy
Re-defining therapy for the modern mother
Consider this your “me-time”.
It’s all too easy to put yourself last, at the bottom of your to-do list, but the truth is…
Your children need you to be healthy. Happy. And cared for.
You can’t afford to keep saying “later” or “not right now”. You don’t have to feel like every day is groundhog day; overwhelmed, burned out, tapped out…all with no hope for a different tomorrow.
Change doesn’t happen by waiting; change happens by choice.
Are you ready to choose yourself?
Mama’s Modern Village therapy is not your average postpartum therapy.
In fact, we typically refer to our incredible referral network for postpartum mood disorders.
Do you think you might need some additional clinical support for a mental health diagnosis? Try Postpartum Support International.
Our unique focus is twofold:
Your identity, your transformation since becoming a mother: aka matrescence.
Mothering in patriarchal motherhood (ie. the impact of intensive mothering, the perfect mother myth, the mental load etc.)
Our unique approach
1:1 therapy with a strong emphasis on group work.
Mothers need other mothers; a therapist can only do so much.
Sometimes a mother needs to hear “me too” to feel relief, validation and normal in her experience.
A therapist can’t do that. But other mothers can.
Cue group work.
Group therapy is strongly recommended as an extension of 1:1 therapy. When it comes to therapeutically supporting mothers, mothers need other mothers. No other way around it.
Would you like to experience this with a group of likeminded women?
If so, my Becoming Mama Programme may be for you.
Afterall, we aren’t meant to mother alone…
mothers need other mothers.
Here is what you can expect in a one-on-one session with Chelsea:
A conversation that feels approachable and validating yet also direct - like the mom friend you always wanted, disguised as a therapist
An approach that does not pathologize motherhood but instead educates and empowers you to make different choices and live in alignment with your values
A perspective of your experience that no longer feels limiting but rather is expansive - becoming a mother is an invitation to grow and an opportunity to deepen into your truest self
Myth-busting the stories that are keeping you stuck and challenging beliefs that aren’t originally your own
Feeling as if you are a part of culture change - the work you put into yourself will impact your children and other mothers 100%
Tangible and actionable tools and strategies to support you in lasting change (psst. We won’t preach self-care with bubble baths and massages.)
Have you tried therapy before and it just didn’t cut it?
Therapy at Mama’s Modern Village is different.
While trained clinically by Postpartum Support International and holding over 10 years of experience in the field of trauma, Chelsea deeply believes that the traditional ways of supporting mothers clinically are simply outdated. There is a time and a place for clinical diagnosis and the more typical models of postpartum mental health care (that all too often look through the lens of pathology and disease), yet…there is evidence to support that mothers are in need of a new framework, a new clinical understanding of their experience as mothers and that the overall maternal mental health system needs an overhaul.
And Chelsea’s work in supporting mothers clinically is part of this paradigm shift. We’re expanding the conversation, looking through a lens of empowerment, education, growth and deep support for mothers.
