You’ve been carrying so much, for so long

  • You’re exhausted. You expected life to get easier as the kids get older, but that hasn’t been the case. You’re the emotional center of the family, and the pressure to take care of everyone else is relentless. You’re burned out and angry but feel guilty for feeling that way. 

  • You’ve lost yourself along the way. You feel disconnected, anxious and sad. You want to reconnect to the person you are outside of the role "mother", "wife", or "partner". You want things to change and you need relief.

  • You love your kid but raising a high-needs child is exhausting. You feel guilty for always falling short of what you think they deserve. ADHD, autism, special needs or medical conditions add layers of stress most people won’t ever understand, so you feel incredibly isolated.

  • Your partner has been drinking. A lot. You’re doing more than your fair share of the work to keep your family going, and you feel frustrated and resentful. You love your partner, but you want things to change. You don’t know how to move forward. You feel helpless. 

You don’t have to figure this out on your own.

I can help you lighten the load.

NEW TO THE IDEA OF “MOM THERAPY”?

Why You'll Love Working With A Therapist For Moms

Motherhood was never meant to be something you do alone. Throughout history, mothers have been supported by a village – family, friends, and a community that were there to share the load.

 

In today’s world, that support is often missing, leaving so many moms feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and disconnected from themselves.​ You give endlessly to everyone around you, but you deserve to have someone who is there to take care of YOU.

My approach to therapy isn’t just about processing your emotions; it’s about helping you feel better, function better, and find joy again - both in motherhood and in your life outside the role of mom.

Here’s how working with a therapist who specializes in maternal mental health can make a difference for you:

Finally feel like yourself again after healing from burnout, exhaustion, and overwhelm.

Learn how to successfully set boundaries and ask for help so you don’t have to carry everything alone.

Regain your sense of patience and calm instead of struggling with constant mom rage and resentment.

Strengthen your relationships with your kids & your partner but most importantly - with yourself.

Let go of anxiety and mom guilt so you can parent with confidence and clarity.

Embrace your own needs and reconnect with your identity beyond motherhood.

Gain clarity on how to navigate challenges with more ease and confidence so you can take meaningful action in your life or help your family move forward.

The bottom line? Even if you feel stuck right now, you don’t have to keep living in survival mode. Getting the expert mental health care you deserve can help you feel lighter, calmer and more in control of your life again.

ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm Michelle Deely, MA, LMFT

In our work together, you are the priority. I am warm, compassionate and lovingly direct. During our sessions, I am active and fully engaged; I often use humor to help us make sense of the ridiculous ways life can test us and surprise us. You can count on me to show up authentically every time we meet. 

As a mother of three, living and working in San Francisco, I have real-world experience with the daily struggle to be everything to everyone. I understand how caring for ourselves while caring for others can feel impossible.

She's truly a kind, caring and knowledgeable therapist! I highly recommend her to anyone considering therapy for personal growth, support or just to figure things out in life."
