Private, evidence-based therapy for high-achieving parents under pressure- at work and at home.
Welcome to California Psychology and Wellness, where we understand that even the most capable and high-achieving parents can feel overwhelmed by the demands to “do it all.” We provide specialized care for high-functioning anxiety, depression, burnout, perfectionism, and major transitions, such as the perinatal period. Support delivered with discretion, compassion, and clarity in a solution-focused space.
Doctorate-level care • Discreet & confidential • Telehealth available • Serving “Boss Moms & Boss Dads”
When you’re the one everyone relies on, stress can become your baseline.
Many high-achieving parents function well outwardly while feeling stretched thin internally. The mental load, constant decision-making, and pressure to perform—at work and at home—can quietly build into anxiety, irritability, perfectionism, or emotional shutdown. You may notice it in your patience, your sleep, your relationships, or the sense that you can’t fully “land” even when things are going well.
Needing support doesn’t mean you’re not coping. It means you have been tasked with carrying too much for too long.
Common experiences:
A mind that won’t turn off; persistent worry or overthinking
Burnout, fatigue, resentment, or feeling disappointed
Perfectionism, guilt, or a constant sense of falling behind
Shorter fuse at home or pulling away from connection
Difficulty resting, sleeping, or feeling present
Missing your former sense of autonomy, confidence, or clarity
Feeling pressure to excel in both roles, without space to be human in either
Discreet, evidence-based care that meets you where you are.
California Psychology & Wellness provides therapy that is collaborative and thoughtful, with attention to both insight and practical change. Sessions are a space to slow down, understand what’s driving the strain, and build skills that support steadiness over time.
