Pregnancy and Postpartum Therapy for Overwhelmed Moms in West Milford, New Jersey
Motherhood feels heavier than you expected - the anxiety, the guilt, the resentment, the second-guessing. You love your baby. But you don’t feel like yourself.
Does this sound familiar?
You’re the mom who checks your baby’s breathing over and over… and then once more just in case
You’re mom who feels irritability creep up but before you know it, you snap. And then comes the guilt
You think “this isn’t how it’s supposed to be” when you don’t feel instantly connected to your baby
You’re grieving your postpartum experience due to colic, reflux, birth trauma or unmet expectations of what this time would look like
You take care of it all for everyone but yourself and are quickly burning out
If you’re nodding your head right now…you’re in the right place
I’d be honored to be part of your village

What It’s Like To Work With Me
Sessions are real, honest, and judgment-free. You don’t have to sugarcoat how hard this feels. We’ll slow down the spirals, unpack the guilt, and build tools that actually fit your real life — not the Pinterest version of motherhood.
Motherhood Is a Lot-You Don’t Have to Pretend It Isn’t
This shit is hard. Period.
This might be the first step you’re taking for yourself in a long time.
Let’s create a space where you can be real, ask for help, and grow at your own pace.
I can help you feel less mom guilt and communicate your needs so that resentment doesn’t build and make you snap (& then feel guilty again).
If you second-guess every parenting decision, feel completely burnt out or wonder why being a mother isn’t “coming naturally" for you like everyone said it would- I can help you quiet the noise and find yourself again.
Alexa Vizcarra, LPC, PMH-C
How I can help:
Quiet the constant mental noise so you can think straight again, not spiral at 2 AM.
Figuring out what’s underneath the overwhelm instead of feeling like you’re “just not handling things well.”
Find yourself again in a life that currently runs on everyone else’s needs.
Learning how to calm your mind and body in ways that actually fit your real life—not the Instagram version of it.
Sorting through the identity shifts that come with motherhood- because it’s okay to look in the mirror and wonder who the f**k that is.
Feeling less alone in the things you’ve been quietly carrying for a long time.
If something in you is saying you’re ready for support, even if you’re not totally sure what you need yet, that’s enough. We can figure the rest out together.
