Support for Parental Burnout in King of Prussia, PA
Parenting can be deeply meaningful—and deeply exhausting. If you’re feeling emotionally drained, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself, you may be experiencing parental burnout. Many parents feel pressure to “hold it all together,” even when they’re running on empty.
At Lisa Higgins Therapy, I help parents who are feeling burned out reconnect with themselves and find more balance and support.
Signs of Parental Burnout
Parental burnout may include:
Constant exhaustion, even after rest
Feeling irritable, numb, or emotionally depleted
Guilt about not enjoying parenting the way you think you “should”
Difficulty managing stress or feeling easily overwhelmed
Feeling disconnected from yourself or your relationships
You are not failing—burnout is a sign that your needs deserve attention.
How Therapy Can Help
In therapy, we’ll create space for you to slow down and be honest about how parenting is really feeling. My approach is supportive and nonjudgmental, helping you understand what’s contributing to burnout and how to move toward greater balance.
Our work may include:
Identifying stressors and unrealistic expectations
Strengthening boundaries and self-compassion
Developing coping strategies that fit your real life
Reconnecting with your sense of self outside of parenting
I work with parents in King of Prussia, PA, and nearby areas including Malvern, Wayne, Paoli, and Berwyn.
How else can I help?
Parental burnout rarely exists in isolation. Many parents I work with also experience anxiety, overwhelm, or challenges related to adult ADHD—both individually and within their relationships.
You may also benefit from:
Anxiety Therapy – for ongoing stress, worry, or emotional overload
Adult ADHD Therapy – if focus, organization, or emotional regulation feel difficult
Couples Therapy – if parenting stress is impacting your relationship or communication
