Parenting Therapy & Support for Women in Denver
Therapy for women navigating the emotional weight of parenting, from new motherhood to co-parenting and everything in between.
Being a good mom doesn’t mean carrying it all alone.
Whether you’re co-parenting after divorce, raising kids with a high-conflict partner or quietly burning out under the pressure to “do it all,” our women’s therapists in Denver are here to help.
Does Parenting Sometimes Feel Like Too Much and Not Enough at the Same Time?
Parenting is emotionally demanding—and often isolating. You may be juggling work, household responsibilities and your children’s emotional needs while putting your own feelings on hold. Maybe you’re constantly multitasking, but nothing ever feels fully done.
Perhaps you’re snapping at your kids more than you’d like, then feeling guilty about it later. Or maybe you’re lying awake at night, replaying conversations, worrying you’re not doing enough, even though you're giving everything you have.
You might feel:
Stretched thin and exhausted
Alone in your responsibilities—even with a partner
Unsure if you're doing any of it "right"
Emotionally reactive and disconnected from the parent you want to be
You may find yourself hiding how overwhelmed you really feel—smiling through the school drop-offs, keeping it together in meetings and then breaking down when no one’s looking.
Maybe you worry that if you stop moving, the whole system will fall apart. Maybe you’re carrying a heavy inner dialogue that questions your worth or competence as a mother.
Or perhaps you're feeling trapped in an endless cycle of trying to prove you’re a “good enough” parent, partner or daughter, without ever feeling truly seen.
And yet, you keep going. Because you have to. But that doesn’t mean you should have to do it alone.
Your Needs Didn’t Disappear When You Became a Mom
We hear this a lot: "I should be able to handle this." But what you're feeling is not a failure—it's a very normal response to the pressure modern mothers carry. The emotional labor of parenting, the invisible workload and the constant pressure to meet everyone's needs can quietly wear you down.
Research shows that women continue to shoulder the majority of domestic responsibilities—often referred to as the “second shift.” Even in dual-income households, women are more likely to manage schedules, doctor’s appointments, school communication, emotional regulation and household logistics.
One study from Pew Research Center found that mothers spend nearly twice as much time on child care and household tasks than fathers do, even when both work full-time.
On top of this, women are often expected to be the emotional anchors of their families—attuned, available, and patient—no matter what they’re going through themselves. It’s no wonder so many moms feel like they’re running on fumes.
You may look around and assume everyone else is handling it better. But so many women are silently struggling, just like you.
You were never meant to parent in isolation, without support, rest or a place to sort through what’s happening inside of you. You’re not too sensitive, too emotional or too late. You’re human—and you’re doing more than anyone can see.
How Therapy Can Help You Breathe Again
Parenting therapy offers a safe, compassionate space to unload, reflect and reset. It’s not about fixing you—it’s about giving you a place to be fully seen and supported. Here, you can:
Be honest without fear of judgment
Process resentment, guilt or grief
Understand how your past impacts your parenting today
Develop tools to handle stress, emotional overload and conflict
Reconnect with your child—and yourself
Our therapists help you move from reactivity to responsiveness, from resentment to boundaries and from burnout to clarity.
What to Expect in Parenting Therapy
We know that one-size-fits-all doesn’t work—especially in therapy. That’s why our process starts with getting to know you, your unique situation and your emotional needs.
In your first few sessions, we’ll explore what’s weighing you down, what you’ve already tried and what kind of support feels right for you.
Our therapists use a tailored blend of approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps you develop immediate, practical tools to manage stress, anxiety and negative self-talk.
At the same time, we use insight-oriented therapies to gently uncover the deeper stories, wounds and patterns that may be shaping how you show up in your parenting.
Whether you’re coping with a high-conflict co-parent, navigating the challenges of a blended family, feeling disconnected from your kids or triggered by memories of your own upbringing—we’ll meet you with empathy, curiosity and respect.
Therapy is a collaborative process. Some weeks you’ll walk away with new tools; others, with new insight.
Over time, you’ll start noticing shifts—in your patience, your boundaries, your self-trust and your ability to parent from a grounded, intentional place instead of exhaustion or guilt.
We help you come home to yourself, so you can show up for the people you love with more capacity, clarity and care.
Feeling Unsure About Starting Therapy?
It’s common to hesitate. Maybe you’re afraid that once you start talking, everything will fall apart. Or that you'll waste precious time and money on something that doesn’t actually help. Or maybe you’ve convinced yourself that other people need therapy—but you should just try harder.
We hear these fears all the time:
"I don’t have time."
"What if it makes things worse before it gets better?"
"I don’t want to seem like I can’t handle my life."
"I’m not even sure where to start."
You’re not alone in these concerns. Therapy isn’t about perfection—it’s about honesty, growth and support. We’ll move at your pace, and we’ll start wherever you are.
Sometimes, just having one hour a week where you don’t have to hold everything together is what starts to shift everything.
Why the Right Therapist Can Make All the Difference
Many women who come to us start therapy feeling frayed, foggy and filled with self-doubt. But as time goes on, something shifts. They begin to:
Speak with more clarity and confidence
Feel more present with their kids and less trapped in guilt
Set boundaries without being consumed by shame
Reconnect with their identity outside of motherhood
Find moments of peace and sometimes even joy in the chaos
