Mental Health at the Intersection of Motherhood + Career
Virtual Therapy in Massachusetts
My Approach
I help mothers overcome feelings of anxiety, build confidence to ask for what they need, and let go of perfectionism in their role as mothers and in their work. I tailor my approach to help you understand where your anxiety is coming from, strengthen your coping skills, connect with your values, establish healthy boundaries, and create lasting changes. I will support you through some of the most intense but most incredibly beautiful transitions in your life to help you understand how amazing you really are.
Hi! I'm Dr. Stephanie Thrower
I’m a mom, a licensed psychologist, and a business owner. I bring authenticity, research and theory-backed information, and a wide array of work experiences to the services I offer. We work together to celebrate your wins, but I am never one to shy away from talking about the hard stuff.
Therapy works, especially when you build a trusting relationship with your therapist. We know this from research, but I also know first hand and I’ve had the privilege to support many women to reduce the intensity of anxiety, depression, and trauma symptoms in order to feel more connected with their loved ones, make career decisions that align with their values, and strengthen their self compassion skills (even when it is really hard for them).
Virtual Therapy in the state of Massachusetts.
Women work with me while at home, during children's naps, or by phone on a walk (or folding laundry).
Why Telehealth?
Telehealth is wonderful, especially for moms. I have been doing Telehealth for years before the pandemic. What's great about it, aside that studies proving its efficacy? Well, fewer transitions, save time commuting, schedule therapy during your lunch break
