A place for the becoming.
A space for maternal mental health, meaningful connection, and the complicated, beautiful transition into motherhood.
Motherhood changes us.
Not simply because our lives change, but because we change.
Matrescence is the psychological, emotional, relational, physical, and identity transformation that accompanies becoming a mother.
A different kind of space for mothers.
Mothers are given enormous amounts of information about how to care for their babies, but very little space to understand what is happening inside themselves.
We wanted to create that space.
A place where motherhood could be explored with curiosity rather than judgment. Where mental health care could exist alongside education, community, and connection.
A place where you don't have to wait until something is wrong to deserve support.
Care for the whole experience of motherhood.
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy for women navigating motherhood, identity, relationships, anxiety, grief, and transition.
Maternal Mental Health IOP
More support when weekly therapy isn't enough, while continuing to live at home and care for family.
Groups + Events
Therapeutic groups, workshops, conversations, and opportunities to connect with other mothers.
Motherhood Library
Thoughtful resources, books, reflections, and education for the emotional world of motherhood.
You are not a problem to be fixed.
You are a person in the middle of becoming.
We hold space for the complicated parts — the joy and grief, attachment and resentment, confidence and uncertainty, love and loss.
Hi, I'm Kayla.
I'm a therapist, mother, and the founder of Matrescence House.
My work centers on the places where identity, relationships, mental health, and motherhood intersect.
I created Matrescence House because I believe mothers deserve more than a checklist of symptoms and coping skills. They deserve a place to be understood.
There's more than one way to feel supported.
