Therapy Moms is a Florida non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization started by two friends who know from experience that "mommin ain't easy". These friends set out to recruit other moms with therapeutic skills and counseling experience to help moms who may need counseling for themselves, a child, or individuals who may need extra support in their daily lives.
Our team of licensed therapists and coaches brings decades of combined experience — and a deep personal understanding of what families truly need.
Created by mothers who understand — providing therapy and counseling for families who need it most.
Combined, our founders bring over sixty years of experience in mental health, counseling, and family services.
