Therapy for Moms in Healthcare Navigating Motherhood & the Sandwich Generation
You're a healthcare professional, a mom in the thick of it — whether that's pregnancy, the postpartum haze, or the relentless pace of toddlers and young kids — and somehow also the person holding your aging parents together. The guilt is constant. The exhaustion is bone-deep. And asking for help feels like one more thing you don't have time for.
You don't have to keep running on empty. There's a different way to do this.
Who I Work With
You're a nurse, doctor, therapist, or healthcare professional who shows up fully for your patients every single day — and then comes home to do it all over again for your kids and your parents.
Whether you're pregnant, newly postpartum, or years into motherhood — this work meets you where you are.
The guilt follows you everywhere. Guilt that you're not present enough at home. Guilt that your mind is at home when you're at work. Guilt that you need help at all, when you're literally the one who's supposed to have it together.
You've read the books. You know the breathing exercises. But knowing and actually feeling okay are two very different things — and the gap between them is exactly where we work.
You might also be part of what's called the sandwich generation — caring for young children while also managing the needs of aging parents. It's a load most people in your life can't fully see, let alone understand. I do.
This isn't about doing more. It's about finally feeling like yourself again.
When we work together, you'll start to:
Set boundaries that actually stick Not just in theory, but in your real relationships — without the guilt spiral that usually follows.
Understand your nervous system So you can recognize when you're in survival mode and have real tools to come back to yourself, even in the middle of a hard season.
Finally put down what you've been carrying Through targeted, body-informed approaches that help you actually process the stress, old wounds, and distressing memories that keep showing up in your present. Not just talk about them. Process them. So you can move through your days feeling lighter, less reactive, and more like yourself — even when life doesn't slow down.
About Me
I'm Brittany Sallaberry, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and therapist based in Shingle Springs, CA — working virtually with women across California.
I specialize in working with high-performing women in healthcare who are navigating the beautiful, brutal, often invisible overlap of motherhood and caring for aging parents — all while spending their days caring for patients too. You are quite literally everyone's caregiver. And you're doing it without anyone really caring for you. I know that intersection well — and I know that the women living it rarely give themselves permission to need support.
Here's what I also know: you don't have time for therapy to become one more thing on your list. My approach is built around that reality. I use specialized, research-backed methods that go beyond traditional talk therapy — approaches designed to help your mind and body actually process and release what it's been holding, faster than conventional therapy alone. So you can feel lighter, less reactive, and more grounded — and get back to your life. That's the whole point.
My approach is direct and warm, practical and deep. I'm not going to tell you what you want to hear. I'm going to help you get to what you actually need.
You've spent your whole career learning how to help other people heal. Let's make some space for you.
You've been waiting for the right time. This is it.
You don't have to hit rock bottom to deserve support. If you're tired, overwhelmed, and stretched thin across every role in your life — that's enough. That's more than enough.
Individual therapy sessions are available virtually across California. Spots are limited because this work deserves real attention.
