“If you’re worried about being a good mother, it means you already are one.”
What’s therapy like?
Therapy is a safe place where you will be listened to deeply. Unlike a friend, sister, or your mother, your therapist is not a part of your life. A therapist supports you by identifying repeating patterns, and helps you clarify what you want for yourself.
One of the hard things about motherhood is filtering out all the noise. A relationship with a therapist is an opportunity to hear your own voice more clearly.
Using evidence-based interventions, a therapist can challenge you, guide you, but most importantly listen to your problems and support your personal growth.
INFERTILITY
The first leg of the motherhood journey can be full of uncertainty and pain.
PREGNANCY & POSTPARTUM
Pregnancy and babies can be more challenging than all the dreams we had for ourselves.
RAISING A CHILD WITH HIGH NEEDS
Allergies, Autism, ADHD, Diabetes, Sensory Issues, Learning Disability, moms know the list goes on.
DIVORCE
Partnerships end, and motherhood is reshaped.
Other motherhood stress?
We’ve got your back, Mama.
Adding another child, moving, body image issues, food and eating struggles, difficult in-laws, intimacy issues, low sex drive, going back to work, staying-at-home, working outside the home, no time for yourself.

Erin Barbossa, LMSW
Founder
Erin founded Motherhood Supported with a conviction for helping mothers get the support they need to feel relief, heal, and live peacefully. Erin has always challenged the stigma around mental health issues. She wonders why do we go to the dentist 2x a year but we have no routine mental healthcare? She invites moms to feel welcomed to psychotherapy and the nurturing, safe environment it creates. Erin became a therapist after working as an Associate Producer for The Oprah Winfrey Show and says she is still helping women to live their best lives.
Erin received a dual degree from Syracuse University in Television, Radio, and Film Production & Psychology. She went on to receive her Masters in Social Work from Loyola University Chicago with a specialization in children and families. Two of her favorite trainings have been Internal Family Systems, and with Postpartum Support International & 2020MOM: Certificate of Completion in Maternal Mental Health.
