Vanessa Leveille, LICSW

So you became a mom, and guess what? Everything changed, right? You might have expected the sleepless nights, but maybe nobody told you about the huge shift happening inside you too, called Matrescence. Think of it like a second adolescence but for moms. Matrescence is the process of becoming a mother. It's a deep, powerful time of change that touches everything from your emotions and thoughts to your body and spirit. It's about figuring out who you are now as a woman who is also a mom, and navigating all the new stuff that comes with it, like juggling schedules, feeling overwhelmed, and wondering where the "old you" went. Here's the thing: I get it. As a therapist who specializes in Matrescence, I work specifically with amazing moms of color going through this journey. I know it can be tough, confusing, and sometimes feel impossible. But I'm here to help you navigate it with grace, strength, and a whole lot of self-compassion. We'll talk about everything from managing that mental load to finding your inner peace again, and figuring out how to be the best mom you can be while still feeling like you. I use different holistic, clinical, and coaching tools, and create a safe, supportive space where you can be completely yourself. Motherhood can change everything, but it's also a chance for incredible growth and self-discovery. I'm here to walk alongside you on that journey, every step of the way. So if you're feeling lost, overwhelmed, or just ready to talk, reach out. You're not alone! Schedule your free 20-minute consultation today.
