Therapy for Moms on Long Island
When the train schedule, the sports schedule and everyone else’s needs fill the week.
Who This Is For
Who I see from Long Island
I work with moms on Long Island who feel responsible for keeping a complicated week moving. You may be watching the LIRR time, arranging rides to practice and remembering what needs to happen before school tomorrow.
The summer routine may look nothing like the school year. I want to understand the season you are in now, not give you a routine built for a life you do not have. I am a mother of four, and I know how quickly a family calendar can fill.
The Everyday Load
What life here can add to the load
Commuting and handoffs
An LIRR commute can shape who handles pickup and bedtime. When plans change, you may become the person who has to find the next solution.
Travel sports weekends
A weekend can fill with driving, games and packing. You can enjoy supporting your child and still miss having time to rest or do something for yourself.
Suburban comparison
Other families may seem to manage more activities or have more help. We can discuss the pressure to keep up without treating appearances as the full story.
Seasonal changes
Summer plans and school routines can ask for different kinds of effort. Each change may bring new childcare decisions, work adjustments and expectations about family time.
A Little Room for You
What we work on
Parenting stress, anxious thoughts and identity after motherhood can all be part of our work. I ask where the pressure is strongest and what you would like to make less complicated. We set goals you can revisit when the family schedule changes.
How Sessions Fit
How video sessions fit a Long Island week
A video session can happen from a private room at home, without another drive. A car in a parking lot may also work if it is safely parked and you cannot be overheard. Therapy cannot take place while you are driving.
We can consider a lunch break or after bedtime, as well as day, evening and weekend times. A device with a camera and a steady connection are needed. The important part is having time when you are not also responsible for something else.
CBT helps us look at demanding thoughts about what you should be able to do. DBT skills can help you slow a reaction and state a boundary. I draw on more than 20 years in social work, while keeping the focus on your current concerns.
