Motherhood & Parenting Support

FOR WOMEN IN KANSAS CITY

Motherhood is a profound transformation, and at times it can be overwhelming, isolating, or heart-aching. Whether you’re navigating everyday parenting stress, dealing with pregnancy or infant loss, or wondering how to re-connect with your identity as a mom, The Counseling Collaborative offers dedicated therapy for women in Overland Park / Kansas City facing the real challenges of motherhood and parenting through all seasons.

Most parenting books don’t talk about the emotional work behind the scenes: the self-doubt, the unseen grief, the shifting relationships, the identity questions. Add in loss, and the emotional terrain becomes even more complex. Women need a space to process honestly and we’re here to help you do that.

TYPICAL SIGNS YOU MIGHT NEED SUPPORT :

• Feeling more exhausted, irritable or disconnected than you expected as a mom

• Grief, guilt, or shame after pregnancy or infant loss that you can’t seem to move past

• Parenting feels bigger than you anticipated, identity, finances, ability to cope are all shifting

• Your relationship with your partner, children, or family is strained and you don’t know how to adjust

• You’ve forgotten who you were before motherhood and you’re longing to reconnect with yourself

HOW THERAPY CAN HELP

At The Counseling Collaborative, we meet you where you are. Mothering is not a static state, and your therapy should reflect your stage in life. We provide space for deep work: loss and grief, identity, the “shadow side” of parenting that often goes unspoken. We equip you with skills: boundary setting, parent-child communication, self-care that isn’t selfish, coping with triggers around loss or transitions.
