Erin Spahr Therapy

Helping you navigate the transition to parenthood and beyond.

Serving clients in Maryland and North Carolina

Parenting today can feel overwhelming, leaving you exhausted, frustrated, or even burned out. You may be feeling stuck, worried, or sad, unsure of how to regain your footing. The strategies you once relied on don’t seem to work anymore, and you’re left feeling like you’re falling short in all your roles.

Perhaps you feel resentment or anger toward your partner or family, wondering how to balance it all while meeting your own high standards. You may question whether you’re cut out for parenting, carrying guilt, shame, and self-doubt. More than anything, you wish each day didn’t feel like such a struggle, and you long to reconnect with the parent and partner you want to be.

I get it.

As a therapist specializing in parental and mental health, I support mothers, fathers, and fellow therapists or healers in navigating the unique challenges of each role. For mothers, I provide a compassionate space to explore the joys, losses, and identity shifts of motherhood, empowering them to break free from limiting societal expectations. Through a matriscentric, anti-patriarchal lens, I help mothers see how they’re not failing—society is—and support them in building confidence, emotional resilience, and authentic parenting goals.

For fathers, I offer an approach that challenges restrictive norms, helping dads engage as emotionally attuned partners and parents. Together, we work on communication, resilience, and connection, allowing fathers to lead with empathy and authenticity. For therapists and healers, I offer mentorship to manage burnout, deepen self-reflection, and align their practices with trauma-informed, feminist perspectives for sustainable, effective caregiving.
