Advance Your Practice: Become a Mothercentered Therapist
Step into a non-pathologizing, holistic approach to maternal mental health. Mothercentered training equips therapists with the knowledge and tools to support mothers compassionately, addressing grief, shame, and the complex internal dynamics that shape early motherhood, through an Internal Family Systems informed perspective.
We can do better for moms
Discover the Mothercentered Approach
Understanding the internal maternal system is composed of parts that polarize between the interests of moms and the interests of their babies and children helps us deconstruct painful internal dynamics. Speaking the language of Mom Parts gives practitioners a destigmatizing way of working with “disorder” that helps mothers find balance and self-trust. Mothercentered empowers therapists and mothers to approach their mental health with greater insight, compassion and confidence.
Foundational Training for Therapists
Our foundational training equips therapists with practical tools to:
-
View matrescence as a wild developmental phase with unique healing potential (not a disorder).
-
Deepen confidence in working meaningfully with grief and shame.
-
Identify predictable Mom Parts to support deep exploration and healing of intergenerational wounds.
-
Uncover psychological patriarchy as a propagator of shame, and shame as a primary culprit in PMADs.
-
Support moms in developing self-trust.
Nonpathologizing, holistic, and anti-patriarchal—yes, all of that.
