When Parenting Feels Heavier Than You Expected

Life in the thick of raising kids — can feel overwhelming, even when everything “looks fine” from the outside.

Maybe you’re anxious, on edge, or stuck in routines that no longer serve you. Maybe you’re juggling sleepless nights, identity shifts, or rising tension in your relationships. Or maybe you can’t quite put your finger on it — you just know you’re not feeling like you.

Whatever you’re carrying, you don’t have to carry it alone.

At Light On Anxiety, we’re here to help you find clarity, calm, and confidence — not someday, but starting now.

You Know You Could Feel More Satisfaction

Therapy should be more than a place to vent. It should be a place to grow, heal, and finally get unstuck from the anxiety cycle. We’re here to help you lighten the mental load, quiet the noise, and reconnect with the version of you that feels calm, clear, and in control.

At Light On Anxiety, you don’t have to carry it all alone anymore.

Light the Way for Positive Change for Yourself and Your Child

Parenting stress and anxiety refer to the emotional strain that comes with caring for and raising children. It’s the inner tension that builds from sleepless nights, financial pressure, constant decision-making, and the ever-present worry about doing enough.

This stress can show up differently for everyone — from irritability and fatigue to self-doubt, social withdrawal, and even physical symptoms. It may shift over time, showing up during early childhood, adolescence, or life transitions. No matter where you are in your parenting journey, you deserve support that meets you where you are.

What to Expect in Therapy

Working with us means getting real, practical support — not just a place to vent. Our therapists are collaborative, compassionate, and committed to helping you feel seen and supported and giving you the tools to create meaningful change.

Here’s how our methods help:

CBT for Parenting Challenges

CBT helps you identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns that fuel stress and anxiety. You’ll learn to reframe challenges, set realistic expectations, and use actionable strategies to feel more in control — as a parent and as a person.

CBT + Medication

For many parents, a combination of CBT and medication offers the best support. Our therapists and psychiatric providers work as a team to create a plan that addresses both the emotional and physical components of stress and anxiety — so you can feel relief faster and sustain it longer.

Medication Support

If your symptoms feel especially intense or persistent, our psychiatric providers can work with you on a personalized medication plan. We use a collaborative, low-pressure approach focused on safety, simplicity, and feeling better — without unnecessary side effects.

On-Demand & Group Services

Because life doesn’t always wait for weekly therapy, we offer flexible, responsive options — from same-day appointments to virtual check-ins — so you can get support when you need it most.

Success Stories

You have a wonderful gift and help a lot of people who really need it! I was very much in major distress before we met but now feel pretty much almost back to normal. I learned a lot from our sessions.

Thank you so much for your awesome support with our son that has helped our family on every level! You definitely guide us to get unstuck and be more effective!

Thank you so much for all you’ve done for me. My self-esteem and overall comfort in life are beyond what I thought was possible. I started out at rock bottom when we started, but now I think I’ve got what it takes to keep living life more fully.

I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how thankful I am for you and for connecting me with my Light On Anxiety therapist. We have met for a few sessions and she has been beyond helpful. I really love how she listens and has resources and action plans to help me work through my anxiety. She has been a tremendous help.

Therapy at Light On Anxiety isn’t about staying stuck in what’s hard — it’s about finding your way forward.

Whether you’re adjusting to life after baby, juggling parenting stress, feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, or just sensing that something’s off, we’re here to support you with tools that work and care that meets you where you are.
