“If you’re worried about being a good mother, it means you already are one.”

What’s therapy like?

Therapy is a safe place where you will be listened to deeply. Unlike a friend, sister, or your mother, your therapist is not a part of your life. A therapist supports you by identifying repeating patterns, and helps you clarify what you want for yourself.

One of the hard things about motherhood is filtering out all the noise. A relationship with a therapist is an opportunity to hear your own voice more clearly.

Using evidence-based interventions, a therapist can challenge you, guide you, but most importantly listen to your problems and support your personal growth.

Erin Barbossa, LMSW

Erin founded Motherhood Supported with a conviction for helping mothers get the support they need to feel relief, heal, and live peacefully. Erin has always challenged the stigma around mental health issues. She wonders why do we go to the dentist 2x a year but we have no routine mental healthcare? She invites moms to feel welcomed to psychotherapy and the nurturing, safe environment it creates. Erin became a therapist after working as an Associate Producer for The Oprah Winfrey Show and says she is still helping women to live their best lives.
