Meet Mischa

Welcome to Gentle Mama Counseling

I am honored you are here (and willing to take the first step in feeling better)

My intention is to help you navigate the challenges of grief and loss to find your rhythm in this new role, regardless of whether or not you are a first-time mom. To improve the feelings associated with your experience of motherhood, by working together to process the sad, scary, or negative memories of your birth story in a way that empowers, nurtures, and supports you. Through our work I want to remind you of your worth and show you that you are not just a mom.

Our Beliefs...

Motherhood - is like no other hood. It can build you up- help you break generational curses in your own family by unmasking things about yourself and your family’s story. And it can cause devastating blows- like feeling lonely and overwhelmed.

Motherhood is...

Motherhood is a choice you make continuously, regardless of how tired, sad, angry, or all of the above you may feel. A choice to put the happiness and well-being of someone else ahead of your own, to do the right thing- when you’re not sure what the right thing may be, and to forgive yourself, over and over and over again especially when the guidebook must have been misplaced and it feels like you’re doing it all wrong.

Never Alone...

Motherhood is fantastic and life altering. However, it can be hard to see and feel confident, good, or appreciate it as prenatal or postpartum depression, anxiety, feelings of guilt, racing thoughts, panic attacks, rage, or insomnia. You are not alone (even if it feels that way sometimes!).

What They Are Saying About Us...

“Mischa was there for me during one of the most unique experiences of my life. Being a new mom comes with endless highs and some unique lows. She was there to provide me with emotional support and practical tools when I needed it most. She provided an environment which was welcoming and inclusive and made sure I knew everything I was feeling was valid. My daughter is growing so much every day and I feel I owe my success as a mother in great part to the foundation and support Mischa provided!"
