ANXIETY THERAPY FOR WOMEN + MOMS
IN CHAPPAQUA, WESTCHESTER NEW CANAAN, FAIRFIELD
Capable isn’t the same as okay.
Therapy for women and moms navigating anxiety, burnout and the pressure to hold it all together.
You're the one who handles everything.
Work, home, the kids, your parents, the calendar, the group chat. You’re good at it, and everyone knows it. But lately the worry follows you to bed, small things feel heavier than they should, and you can’t remember the last time your mind was actually quiet.
Your mind won’t shut off at night
You replay conversations long after they’re over
You snap at the people you love, then feel guilty
You can’t say no, and you’re running on empty
Nothing you do ever feels like enough
Everything looks fine on paper, but you don’t feel like yourself
Getting through the day shouldn't take everything you have.
How therapy works
An hour that’s finally yours.
Most women who come to Terra are the ones everyone else leans on, at work and at home. Therapy is where you finally get to set some of it down. We start by getting specific: when the anxiety spikes, what sets it off, and what you do to try to make it stop. Most women have never mapped this out, and just seeing the pattern takes some of its power away. From there, we build tools you can actually use: how to catch a worry spiral before it takes over the night, how to set a boundary without a wave of guilt, how to get through a hard day without running on fumes. We practice them, adjust what isn’t working, and keep what is. And we make room for what’s underneath: perfectionism, people-pleasing, old expectations about who you’re supposed to be, and the parts of you that got lost somewhere between the inbox and the carpool line. Women’s and maternal mental health work at Terra is led by Suzanne Esposito, LCSW. She spent 15 years at Four Winds Hospital, growing from therapist to director of its adolescent inpatient unit and adult and adolescent partial hospital programs, and is trained through Postpartum Support International. She’s also a mom. Terra offers daytime appointments in our Chappaqua, NY and New Canaan, CT locations, and virtual sessions across New York and Connecticut.
