Both offers are held online via secure video, so you can receive deep, personalized support without having to leave your house. As a mom and therapist who works from home, I’ve found that virtual weekly therapy and therapy intensives for moms in Massachusetts and Texas are not only convenient, but just as impactful, especially for moms juggling work, kids, and everything in between. That said, for the intensives specifically, you get to choose how you experience it. Some of my clients stay home and cozy up on the couch with tea. Others arrange childcare, take the day off, book a hotel, or even travel for the weekend to turn their intensive into a full retreat.
some faqs before we get started
Motherhood is hard, yes — but you don’t have to live stuck in survival mode. If you’re snapping more than you want to, exhausted no matter how much you sleep, or feel like you’ve lost yourself, that’s not “just how it is.” Those are signs your body is depleted and dysregulated. Therapy gives you the space and support to recover, reconnect with yourself, and feel steady again.
Many insurance companies (typically PPOs) reimburse a portion of the cost of psychotherapy. For insurance purposes, I am considered an out-of-network provider. I recommend calling your insurance to determine the exact details of your policy, including what benefits are available regarding out-of-network providers and how your insurance will reimburse several hours of therapy.
I can also provide you with a Superbill for possible reimbursement for the times we meet. Please know that the insurance company requires a diagnosis code as a reason for treatment. I’m happy to provide more information to help with this process. Please use the benefits checker below to confirm your benefits.
I specialize in working with moms of color because our experiences of motherhood are shaped by culture, community, and systemic stress. But if my approach speaks to you and you feel like this is the right space for your healing, you are welcome here.
Absolutely. You can send an email to me directly at vanessa@matrescenceincolor.com or DM me on Instagram @matrescenceincolor and I’ll help you figure out if this is the right fit for you. And that's what the free consultation is for too; so you can ask all the questions you have. You can click here to book a consultation. Zero pressure, just real support.
Many of my clients have said the same thing. Traditional talk therapy often gives coping tools, but if your body is still depleted and your nervous system on edge, those tools don’t stick. In our work, we restore your energy, regulate your system, rebuild your body's capacity for stress, and create safety in the body, and then move into deeper self-work so you actually feel changes in your day-to-day life. This is the difference. I blend 15 years of experience as a therapist and coach, lived experience as a mom, and years of studying different modalities to build a comprehensive, integrative, root-cause approach to fill the gaps in maternal mental health to best support the moms I serve.
Weekly therapy gives you steady, ongoing support. It’s great if you want space to process and build change slowly over time. Intensives are different—they’re a deep dive. In one curated experience, we get clear on your goals, create a personalized plan, and give you tools you can use right away. Many moms start with an intensive and then continue with weekly therapy if they want more long-term support.
I work with both. In the first two years, therapy often focuses on postpartum recovery and adjusting to motherhood. Beyond that, I help moms who feel stuck in survival mode years later—depleted, dysregulated, or disconnected from themselves. Whether you’re weeks into motherhood or a decade in, this work can meet you where you are.
I get it—your plate is already full. That’s why sessions are online, and designed to give you relief that fits into real life. Weekly sessions are just 60 minutes, and intensives condense months of progress into a few hours. You’ll leave with tools that make life feel easier, not another to-do list.
Individual therapy sessions are $225 per session. You can find everything you need to know about fees, insurance, and out-of-network benefits on my Fees & Investment Page.
