Therapy for Florida Parents Struggling with Stress, Burnout & Anxiety
You’ve been putting yourself last for too long—it’s time to prioritize your well-being.
The Invisible Weight of Parenthood
I just need to get through today.
You wake up exhausted, long before your feet hit the floor. The kids need you. Work needs you. The house is a mess. Your to-do list never ends, and there’s no space—no pause—for you.
You try to stay patient, but the smallest things set you off. You snap, then the guilt crashes in: Why can’t I just be more present? Other parents don’t seem this overwhelmed. I should be able to handle this.
You’ve read the parenting books, but they just contradict each other. Be gentle, but firm. Give your kids independence, but always be available. Keep a routine, but stay flexible. No matter what you do, it never feels quite right. The pressure is relentless.
And so you keep pushing, telling yourself: If I can just get through this stage, I’ll be okay. But deep down, you know it’s not just a phase—burnout has taken root.
But, What If There Was A Different Way?
Imagine waking up without the weight of exhaustion pressing down on you. Imagine handling tantrums, chaos, and stress without crumbling under the pressure of perfection.
Your inner voice shifts: I’m doing enough. I am enough.
Instead of comparing yourself to others, you trust yourself. Instead of running on empty, you give yourself permission to rest. Instead of guilt, you feel grounded—knowing that taking care of yourself isn’t selfish, it’s essential.
And here’s the truth: Therapy can help you get there.
Together, we’ll work to help you quiet the self-doubt, release the pressure to do it all, set boundaries that actually feel good, and create space for you again. Parenthood doesn’t have to cost you your well-being. You deserve to feel grounded, fulfilled, and supported.
Let’s start today.
I See You, And I’m Glad You Are Here!
I know how much you give to everyone around you—and how easy it is to put yourself last. If you’re feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or like you’ve lost yourself in the demands of parenthood, you’re not alone.
I am Maria Eugenia Castillo, a licensed therapist and bilingual (English & Spanish) clinician, specializing in helping stressed and anxious parents break free from burnout, perfectionism, and self-doubt. Therapy with me is your space to breathe, reset, and rediscover yourself—so you can show up for you and your family without losing yourself in the process. Together, you and I will work to create a version of parenthood where you matter, too—one that feels balanced, fulfilling, and sustainable.
You deserve support, and I am here to help.
My Approach
Parenthood shouldn’t come at the expense of your well-being. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, burnout, or the pressure to be the perfect parent, you’re not alone. I help parents like you break free from unrealistic expectations and rediscover a sense of balance, fulfillment, and self-care—without guilt. You are more than just a caregiver; you deserve support, too.
My approach is practical, compassionate, and solution-focused. Whether you’re stuck in the daily grind or struggling to meet impossible standards, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can regain clarity, set boundaries, and create a version of parenthood that works for you. Let’s find a path forward—one that includes you, too.
A Safe Space to Pause, Reflect & Reconnect
Parenting is loud. Anxiety is loud. Your inner critic is loud. Therapy is where you get to pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself.
Sessions take place in a supportive and private environment, designed to help you feel at ease. Whether in person or online, my goal is to provide a space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered.
