Overcome Depression & Burnout as a Working Black Mom to Find Joy Again

Does this sound familiar?...

  • You feel emotionally drained, struggling with motivation outside of work and family responsibilities.

  • You are constantly juggling parenting, your career, and personal well-being—yet never feel like you’re doing enough.

  • You experience mom guilt when prioritizing yourself but feel burned out when you don’t.

  • You struggle to rest, relax, or recharge because there’s always something that needs to be done.

  • You are overwhelmed by the gap between what you thought womanhood and motherhood would be like vs. reality.

  • You find it difficult to ask for help or trust your support system.

  • You lack healthy boundaries, leaving you feeling exhausted and resentful.

  • If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Many Black working moms experience high-functioning depression, anxiety, and burnout—but there is help.

How Therapy Can Help You Overcome Depression as a Black Working Mom

Depression doesn’t always look like sadness—it often looks like:

  • Feeling disconnected from yourself and what brings you joy.

  • Running on autopilot, only doing what’s necessary for work and family.

  • Feeling resentful because you never have time for yourself.

  • Struggling to ask for or receive help.

  • Experiencing constant exhaustion (even after sleeping).

  • Losing interest in activities you once enjoyed.

Through therapy, we will work together to:

  • Acknowledge and process your emotions—without shame or guilt.

  • Redefine what balance means for you—not what society expects.

  • Identify small, realistic steps toward restoring your energy and confidence.

  • Create a self-care and rest plan that feels achievable, not forced.

    You deserve to feel supported, not just responsible for everyone else.

What Therapy with Me is Like

Therapy is a space for healing, not judgment. Here’s what you can expect:

  • A safe, non-judgmental space to express your feelings, even the ones you’ve been afraid to say out loud.

  • Practical tools to help you regain balance and emotional well-being.

  • Guidance and support, but ultimately, you’ll lead your own healing journey.

What I Won’t Do:

  • I won’t tell you what to do or how to feel.

  • I won’t make decisions for you.

  • I won’t dismiss your experiences.

Therapy isn’t about being “fixed”—it’s about being heard, supported, and empowered to navigate motherhood, work, and life in a way that serves you.
