You Don’t Have to Lose Yourself to Motherhood, Relationships, or Life Transitions
Specialized therapy for women navigating pregnancy, postpartum anxiety or depression, intrusive thoughts, birth trauma, relationship strain, and overwhelming life transitions. In-person therapy is available in Temecula, with online therapy throughout California.
You feel like you’ve lost yourself in a relationship or in parenthood
You’re constantly overthinking, over giving, and emotionally exhausted
You struggle to set boundaries without guilt
You feel resentful… and then guilty for feeling that way
You look like you’re holding it together, but internally you feel overwhelmed
You’re tired of repeating the same patterns and don’t know how to stop
If this feels familiar, you’re in the right place
Therapy That Goes Beyond Just Coping
We specialize in helping women navigate identity-changing seasons, including pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood. Therapy can also address relationship stress and patterns leaving you overwhelmed or disconnected. Our team also provides therapy for children and teens ages 5–17, couples, and families, with support for parenting challenges, communication, and changes at home.
Together, we’ll:
Understand why these patterns exist
Break cycles of people-pleasing and over functioning
Build confidence in your boundaries
Reconnect with your identity outside of roles and expectations
Our work focuses on helping you feel grounded, confident, and connected. You will develop skills that support meaningful, lasting change.

Meet Taylor, our founder
I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist and the founder of Mindful Transitions Therapy. I started Mindful Transitions Therapy to give people a place to speak honestly about the parts of motherhood, relationships, and life changes that can feel hard to say out loud.
You don’t have to keep going through this alone
During your free 15-minute consultation, we’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, what support you are looking for, and whether we may be a good fit.
In-person appointments are available in Temecula, with online therapy available throughout California.
Frequently asked questions
-
You can book a free 15 minute consultation, or an initial therapy appointment with any of our therapists.
-
This is our chance to make sure we are a good fit in working together! First we want to hear more from you about what you’re struggling with and what you are looking for in treatment. Then you’ll hear from us about our background and how we typically work with clients. You then have the chance to ask any questions you may have and from there we can get you scheduled for your first session!
-
Therapy looks different depending on your age, what brings you in, and what feels helpful to you. Some sessions may give you space to talk through what’s happening now or explore past experiences. Others may focus on learning practical skills and trying them between sessions. Often, therapy includes both.
You and your therapist will set goals together and adjust your work as you go. You don’t need to know exactly what to talk about before you arrive—we’ll help you get started.
For in-person sessions, we have fidgets, coloring supplies, games, and toys available. You’re welcome to use them if they help you feel more comfortable.
-
We like to start with weekly sessions for the first 6-8 weeks in order to develop the therapeutic relationship and build momentum. With that being said, we know life and work schedules can sometimes make this difficult. We don’t want this to be a barrier for you, so we can work with you on frequency. Please let your provider know during your consultation call if schedule constraints may affect this for you.
Frequency can also ebb and flow over the course of treatment. It can go from weekly to biweekly to monthly, back to weekly. It’s up to you and your therapist to decide what is best.
-
It really varies. I know, not the answer you were looking for. For some 6-8 sessions can be enough to get them to a place of feeling better, for others they enjoy having the space to talk about whatever is going on in their lives and enjoy being in therapy for years! We encourage you to have ongoing conversations with your therapist to determine what will be best for you.
