Emotional Relief
With emotional relief, you’ll finally feel like she can breathe again—no longer carrying the weight of constant guilt, anxiety, and pressure. Instead of reacting from stress, you’ll respond with calm, clarity, and confidence.
Renewed Confidence and Ease
You’ll move through your day with more trust in yourself and less pressure to be perfect. The constant second-guessing fades, replaced with a grounded confidence and a sense of ease that makes motherhood feel lighter.
Build Stronger Healthier Relationships
You’ll feel more connected to your partner and kids, with fewer blow-ups and more meaningful moments. As stress eases, patience grows—and real connection becomes easier and more natural.
The Hidden Cost of Carrying the Mental Load
You’re running on fumes by the time you’ve tackled work, dinner, laundry, homework, and bedtime. Maybe you still have a work meeting to prep for, school forms to sign (now crusted with snacks and crumpled in your kid’s backpack), or bills to sort through—but your brain is toast.
Who came up with this “Work-Life Balance” nonsense anyway? You’ve tried working more, working less, not working at all. You’ve listened to advice from friends, family, podcasts, and self-help books. But no matter what you do, it just feels like trading one kind of stress for another. You’re getting through the days, but feeling overwhelmed, irritable, and never quite enough.
Your Relationships Are Taking a Hit
You want to reconnect with your partner, but the day ends with you passed out next to your kid during bedtime. When you do get time together, all you talk about is the kids. You miss your friends but don’t have the energy to make plans—and when you finally do something for yourself, the guilt creeps in. Sometimes, you can’t even remember what fun used to feel like.
You hate snapping at your kids. Maybe they’re struggling, too, and you’re not sure how to help—or worse, you’re afraid you’re making things worse. You second-guess your parenting decisions, question how to support them at school or with anxiety, and find yourself wondering, “Am I becoming my mother?”
Finally, Space to Breathe Again
You’re juggling work, parenting, relationships, and the never-ending list of “what needs to be done”—and still wondering if you’re doing enough. That kind of pressure doesn’t just disappear with a bubble bath or a motivational quote. You need real support from someone who gets it.
For over twenty five years, I’ve helped more than 300 moms move from burnout and emotional overload to clarity, confidence, and calm.
I have also been there myself, balancing a busy private practice with three kids, a marriage, and my own emotional healing was tough.
Together, we’ll work through what’s weighing you down and build a path that feels sustainable—not just for your family but for you.
You don’t have to carry it alone anymore.
Margot Holloman, PhD Licensed Psychologist.
“I believe that moms are the foundation of their families, shaping their children’s present and future. Taking care of your mental health isn’t selfish—it’s essential. Motherhood is a marathon, not a sprint, and you deserve the support you need to sustain the journey.”
From Self-Doubt to
Self-Confidence
Stronger Family Connections
I will help you create healthy, loving relationships so you feel closer to your partner and kids, which means more joy and less tension at home. If you don’t have a partner, I will help you find the support you need.
More Focus & Confidence at Work
Therapy for burnout and depression helps you regain your energy and enthusiasm. This will help you stay focused and finish tasks with ease so you feel productive and proud. You will experience less procrastination and more self-trust.
Freedom to Live Life on Your Terms
Letting go of guilt gives you permission to enjoy what matters to you so you can pursue the hobbies or career you want and spend time with people who truly get you, which means more happiness and less resentment.
What is Therapy With Me Like?
Therapy with me isn’t cold or clinical—it’s a partnership. I’ll be your guide and your teammate, helping you work through the tough emotions, the self-doubt, and the negative thoughts that keep you stuck.
If advice alone could fix this, you’d already be on the other side of it. You’ve read the books, listened to the podcasts, talked to friends. But real change takes more than knowing what to do—it takes support, accountability, and someone who truly gets what you’re up against.
My clients often say our sessions feel like a deep exhale—a safe, nurturing space where they finally feel seen. Yes, we go deep, but we laugh too. This is a space where you can open up about things you’ve never said out loud. And when you’re ready, we’ll work through the painful experiences holding you back, so you can move forward with more peace and confidence.
Together, we’ll focus on building the parenting and relationship skills you need to create the loving connections you want—with your partner, your kids, and yourself. If you’re struggling to parent in the way you truly want, we’ll explore the deeper “why” behind it—not just the strategies, but what’s getting in the way of using them.
With my background in child development and years of experience supporting children and families, I’ll help you learn how to discipline effectively—even if your child has ADHD, anxiety, autism, or other special needs. And if you share some of those challenges yourself, we’ll work on supporting you, too—so you feel more capable, calm, and connected.
