Approach
Therapy is tailored to context rather than forced into a one-size-fits-all model.
Therapy may focus on emotional regulation, guilt, overload, relationship strain, resentment, or the quieter grief of how much has changed.
Work can help you name what is unsustainable, build steadier patterns, and care for yourself without feeling like you are failing anyone.
This is not about becoming a perfect parent. It is about having a thoughtful place to be a full person while carrying real responsibility.
