Parenthood is one of life’s most meaningful journeys, but it can feel like a nonstop cycle of caregiving, decision-making, and self-sacrifice. Many parents in Bethesda, Maryland, find themselves constantly attending to their family’s needs while putting their emotional wellness on the back burner. Therapy for parents with Maggie Meyer at MindWell Counseling offers a powerful opportunity to shift that pattern and restore balance.

Why Self-Care Matters for Parents

Emotional exhaustion, irritability, and feeling disconnected from your sense of self are common signs that you’re nearing burnout, and something has to change. But where do you find time for yourself in the chaos of everything else? The good news is that practicing self-care doesn’t have to mean abandoning your responsibilities—it simply means nourishing yourself so you can show up more fully for your children and partner. Through one-on-one sessions with a compassionate therapist, you can explore the mental load of your position and reconnect with your personal values and goals.
