Motherhood is one of life’s most profound and transformative experiences, but it can also be one of the most demanding. Between caring for your child, managing relationships, and trying to find time for yourself, it’s easy to feel exhausted, anxious, or disconnected from who you used to be.

​

At Lisa Greenstein Therapy & Consulting, we provide compassionate, personalized therapy for moms in NJ and NYC, helping you navigate the emotional challenges of motherhood and rediscover your sense of self.

​

The Emotional Challenges of Motherhood

Many mothers silently struggle with feelings of anxiety, guilt, or overwhelm. You might find yourself asking:

• “Why do I feel so anxious even when things are going well?”

• “Who am I beyond being a mom?”

• “How can I find balance again?”

Therapy offers a safe, supportive space to explore these questions without judgment. Whether you’re a new mom adjusting to postpartum changes or a parent balancing multiple roles, it’s okay to seek help, and it’s a sign of strength to do so.

​

Focusing on Self-Care, Boundaries & Healing

Motherhood often brings up old patterns and unresolved emotions. Through therapy, we can work together to:

• Manage mom anxiety and feelings of burnout

• Build healthy boundaries and improve communication

• Practice meaningful self-care that supports emotional well-being

• Heal from past or childhood trauma that resurfaces in parenthood

Lisa integrates trauma-informed and holistic approaches, including EMDR Therapy to help you process difficult experiences and reconnect with your inner calm.
