Therapy for Overwhelmed Moms in Corona, CA
For the mom holding everything together while quietly falling apart.
Get relief from the constant overwhelm, feel more patient with your kids, and more like the mom and person you want to be.
The house is a mess, you’re watching your kids run around, and you feel paralyzed thinking about everything you need to do.
TELL ME IF THIS SOUNDS FAMILIAR…
You desperately need a break, but motherhood never stops asking things of you. No matter how exhausted you are, there’s always someone who needs you.
You’re overstimulated, touched out, and running on empty. You snap at your kids over little things, then feel awful for not being the patient mom you want to be.
You want to be present, patient, and supportive with your kids, but when you’re completely drained, even that feels out of reach.
You can’t stop telling yourself, “I should be able to handle this.” You feel guilty for struggling and wonder why motherhood feels so hard when you’re trying so hard.
You’ve poured so much of yourself into everyone else that there’s barely anything left for you. You need someone to take care of you, too.
You’re trying to be a good mom - but you’re drowning in overwhelm.
You stay up at night feeling guilty about how you reacted, instead of responded, to your child.
You’ve been crying a lot.
Though you’ve heard the saying a million times - put your oxygen mask on first before helping others - you can’t remember the last time you had a moment for self-care.
YOU’RE HONEST ENOUGH TO ADMIT:
Motherhood is not what you expected - at all.
You feel grief about what you thought this was going to be.
You question if you can even do this.
It feels like you’re always letting someone down - whether it’s yourself, your partner, your baby, or your older children.
Everything feels hard.

Hi! I am Yadira Reyes, LCSW
Therapist for Overwhelmed Moms
You want to stop snapping and start enjoying your family but by the end of the day, you have nothing left to give or for yourself.
The noise, decisions, and constant “Mom!” leave you on edge. You carry everyone’s needs in your head, then lie awake replaying the moment you lost your patience. You’re working hard to break the cycles you grew up with, yet under stress, you hear yourself saying things you promised you never would.
And somewhere between taking care of everyone and keeping everything moving, you miss yourself.
As a therapist, a mom raising a child with special needs, and a woman diagnosed with ADHD later in life. I understand what it is like to carry the mental load, the overwhelm of trying to meet everyone’s needs, wearing many hats while struggling to make room for your own needs.
After my own difficult experiences with postpartum and early years of motherhood, I knew I didn’t want another mom to sit in her own shame & doubt, and have to “tough it out.”
I offer the support for moms that I wish I’d had in my early days of motherhood.
With more than 16 years of experience working with children, parents, and families, along with a background in early childhood, I bring understanding and practical tools to help you manage the mental load, feel less overwhelmed, and make room for your own needs without guilt so you can feel more confident as a mother and care for your children without feeling like you’re falling apart. Are you feeling touched out, resentful, anxious, or grieving the life you had before motherhood? We can talk about all of it without judging your love for your children.
Let’s help you feel less on edge and more like yourself.
Therapy with me is warm, honest, and practical. Together, we’ll understand what pushes you into overwhelm, explore the expectations and old patterns keeping you stuck, and make space for what you need.
You’ll practice ways to settle your nervous system when it feels stuck in fight-or-flight, catch overwhelm before it boils over, and build boundaries and routines that fit your life and your brain.
Over time, that can mean having enough breathing room to choose how you respond. Feeling more confident setting a limit. Getting through a hard parenting moment without spending the rest of the night tearing yourself apart. And finding moments of connection and enjoyment that feel out of reach right now.
You spend so much energy caring for everyone else. This is a space where someone cares for you, too.
Moms, let me help you:
regulate your nervous system & take care of yourself first, so that you can take care of your children without burning out
break generational cycles, parenting your kids in a different (& healthier) way than you were parented
find small ways to take care of yourself that feel practical & realistic, even with limited free time
build confidence in your motherhood
feel more grounded & steady, even on the hardest days
You were never meant to do this alone.

THERAPY FOR MOMS WITH ADHD
If you’re a mom with late-diagnosed ADHD, you may feel like you’re always “behind” on something. I get it, because I’m a mom with ADHD as well. You’re doing the best for your kid (who might have ADHD as well), while trying not to lose your mind.
Therapy can help you feel more grounded & steady, rather than overwhelmed all the time. I’ll share tools & insights that have worked for me & other moms with ADHD - helping you build a life that doesn’t burn you out.

THERAPY FOR NEW MOMS
You love your baby, but life as a new mom feels harder than you expected. No one told you how your relationship with your partner would change; or how your body would never feel the same. You expected some sleepless nights - but not the intrusive thoughts (“what if I drop my baby?”); the grief around who you were vs. who you are now; or the struggles with breastfeeding.
Therapy can help you process your new identity as a mother, reconnect with yourself, & navigate this new season of life without losing yourself in it.
