Millennial Mama Therapy

Well hi there!

I’m Lauren, a late-diagnosed ADHD-er, mom of two, licensed therapist, and founder of Millennial Mama Therapy.

I created this space for moms who are just like me:

Figuring out who they are on the other side of motherhood.

I was a therapist before I became a mom, but I didn’t specialize in working with moms until I became a mom.

My first daughter was born in February 2021 (hello pandemic baby!) and I was shocked at how ill-prepared I was for postpartum (you can hear that story here!).

I was anxious as hell, overwhelmed, constantly on edge, doom-scrolling the Internet for answers, and wondering why precisely ZERO (0) people told me it would me like this.

This led me to my first clinical passion:

Matrescence — the process of becoming a mother.

I went to therapy (because therapists need therapy too!), started Zoloft, and slowly began feeling better.

My second daughter was born is September 2023 and my third baby (Millennial Mama Therapy) arrived immediately after in January 2024.

Becoming a mom of two (plus starting a business) broke the few remaining masking and coping skills I had in ways I didn’t anticipate. My executive functioning went out the window and I was hanging on by a wish and some duct tape.

I was finally diagnosed with ADHD in April 2025 (a week after my mom was also diagnosed — we had no clue we were both pursuing the diagnosis!) and that led me to my second clinical passion:

Neurodiversity in motherhood.

As it turns out, many of us high-achieving millennial moms who were “a joy to have in class” are actually super duper good at masking out neurodiversity — until something (particularly pregnancy, postpartum, motherhood, perimenopause, and menopause) slaps us in the face and shatters all the tools we built to fit into societal expectations.

My Approach to Therapy

Finding a new therapist is hard on a good day, but who the hell is looking for a therapist on a good day?

My goal is to help you know ASAP if I’m the right therapist for you.

So here’s what you can expect from therapy with me.

I exclusively work with moms and I offer both in-person and virtual Talk Therapy and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) Intensives.

NOTE: My clinical services are limited to California residents due to licensing requirements.

I also host Mama Mess Hall and The Break Room — drop-in virtual support groups available to moms all over the world.
