Therapy for Moms of High Needs Kids
Will It Always Be This Hard?
Being a mom is already a lot.
​
But when you’re raising a child who needs more—more patience, more energy, more advocacy, more of you—it can feel like you’re drowning while everyone else seems to be floating.
​
Maybe your child has big emotions, sensory sensitivities, developmental differences, or medical needs that require extra attention.
Maybe they don’t fit neatly into the expectations the world has for them. ​
Maybe every single part of parenting feels harder than you ever thought it would be.
​
And in the middle of it all, you’ve lost sight of yourself.
This isn't the parenting journey you imagined.
​
You are bone-deep tired in a way that sleep can’t fix.
​
You feel isolated, because other moms don’t always get it.
​
You love your child more than anything, but some days, you resent how much they need from you.
​
You second-guess every decision. Therapy? School? Routines? What if you’re getting it wrong?
​
You carry so much guilt—for losing your patience, for craving space, for the moments when you just don’t feel like you can do it anymore.
​
You wonder if you are the problem—if maybe you just aren’t strong enough, patient enough, or good enough.
You're asked to show up in ways that most people never have to think about.
And because the world doesn’t always make space for kids who are different, it can feel like
you have to hold everything together on your own.​​
Parenting a high needs child is exhausting.
​
In here, you don’t have to pretend it’s not.
Therapy can be a place to put all of this down. To be honest about how much it takes. To talk about the anger, the grief, the love, the guilt, and the moments when you just want to run away.
To stop pretending you’re okay when you’re not.
​
You are allowed to need support, too. You are allowed to take up space in your own life.
​
And when you’re ready, I can help you find your way back to yourself.
