Welcome to
becoming mothers counseling

Becoming Mothers Counseling is a mental health therapy practice dedicated to providing maternal wellness services for women in their motherhood journey. Whether you’re expecting, in the postpartum period, or navigating further stages of motherhood, you deserve to feel empowered.

Through our work together, you’ll find community and cultivate self-compassion amidst the challenges of motherhood. As a 2x survivor of Postpartum Depression, I want you to know that I get it. I understand the unique challenges of motherhood — of fiercely loving your child, while balancing your own needs, desires, and personal goals. 

With the right support, you can navigate the intricate journey of motherhood with greater confidence, embracing its beautiful chaos.

  • The first year of motherhood can be intense! Having Marnie’s support through the process makes it so much easier. She’s warm, compassionate, and very attentive to your needs. I especially love the practical tools that she provides that are unique to each stage of motherhood. If you’re looking for a strong therapist to help you navigate motherhood, I highly recommend Marnie!

  • Marnie is great! After the birth of our daughter, I struggled with postpartum depression on top of a high risk pregnancy and traumatic birth for almost a year. Becoming a mom was shocking, to say the least! Following a negative experience with another therapist, I was lucky to find Marnie. She understood all of my fears and feelings, and helped me understand that everything I was feeling was normal! Under her care, including a referral to a great psychiatrist, I started to feel like me again...but a new, better me. She is very in tune with her patients, and has a grounding nature that is so helpful! I don't hesitate to recommend Marnie to new moms and I can't thank her enough!

  • I have three kids and with each of them came different experiences, wonders, and challenges. Marnie helped me through anxiety around wanting to leave the house with the baby, but feeling overwhelmed by it, as well as finding a new balance with more kiddos in my life and a full time job. Marnie's approach made me feel safe and supported and I am forever grateful to her for her empathetic, thoughtful guidance.

  • I left Marnie’s group feeling seen, validated, supported, and immensely re-energized in my role as a mother of two. Marnie has the unique ability of setting a tone and intention for a space that allows participants to reflect and share their thoughts and feelings. Despite only having met most of the other mothers minutes before our session began, I was able to think and share vulnerably. A week later, I’m still finding myself reflecting on comments and themes that emerged that evening, and I’m counting down the days until another session.

  • Marnie is an outstanding bringer together of people. I have been fortunate to experience several gatherings that she convened and was awestruck by her ability to bring intentionality, compassion, and warmth to meaningful discussions. Her gatherings will change how you think about your experience as a mom and I recommend them most highly!

"Everyone else has it all figured out".... We naturally assume we're the only one struggling and I often think how unfair it is to compare our internal struggles with others' external presentation. I like to think of comparison as rooted i
