  Surviving Modern Motherhood: The Early Years Edition
  A Support Group for Moms of Young Children

  Surviving Modern Motherhood is a support group for moms of young children navigating the nonstop demands of early parenthood.

  Whether you’re running on fumes, managing toddler meltdowns, or carrying the invisible mental load, this group offers a place to exhale, feel seen, and connect with others who truly get it.

  This is a confidential, supportive space for moms in the thick of it—a place to talk honestly about the emotional realities of raising little humans, from identity shifts and exhaustion to the messy magic of everyday life.

  Led by fellow mom Christina Klein, the group provides:

  • A judgment-free space to be real and feel understood

  • Space to talk through challenges like stress, boundaries, burnout, and isolation

  • A chance to reconnect with yourself beyond the role of “mom”

  • Connection, shared wisdom, and maybe even a little laughter

  If you’re craving connection, community, and support in the early years of parenting—this group is for you.

  What You’ll Walk Away With:

  • A sense of connection with other moms who understand your world

  • Space to reflect and be supported without pressure to have it all figured out

  • Ideas and encouragement to help you navigate the highs and lows of early motherhood

  Many moms continue meeting beyond the initial six weeks and count their group members as trusted companions in this wild season of life.

  Group Format:

  Each 90-minute session invites open conversation around a weekly theme and offers space for honest, real-life sharing. To support a calm and focused space, we ask that only babies aged 0–4 months attend with their parent.
  

  Please Note:

  • This is a peer support group, not a therapy group, and is not a replacement for individual mental health care.
  • It’s especially geared toward second- and third-time moms, but all are welcome.
  • Christina also runs a private practice. If additional individual support is needed, she’s happy to offer referrals.

• Facilitator(s)

  Christina Klein, LMFT, PMH-C, is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with advanced training and certification in perinatal mental health. She supports mothers through the many emotional and mental challenges that come with modern motherhood—whether during pregnancy, postpartum, or in the daily juggle of parenting, identity, and work-life demands. Christina works with clients navigating overwhelm, burnout, and the invisible weight of the mental load, helping them reconnect with themselves and find strategies that truly support their well-being. As a mother of two young boys herself, Christina brings both clinical expertise and lived experience to her work. She understands how easy it can be to feel isolated, stretched thin, or not quite like yourself. Her clients often come to her feeling anxious, on edge, or unsure whether what they’re experiencing is “normal” or something more like postpartum anxiety or depression. Her message is clear: you don’t have to figure it out alone. Christina’s approach is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. She creates a space where mothers can be honest without judgment and focus on their needs - whether that means processing difficult emotions, shifting unhelpful patterns, or rediscovering a sense of self beyond motherhood. Clinically, Christina integrates psychodynamic, attachment-based, cognitive-behavioral (CBT), ACT, and EMDR approaches, all within a client-centered, strengths-based framework. She also embraces a matricentric lens, which centers the voices and needs of mothers in the therapeutic process and honors the complexity of motherhood. If you’re ready to make space for yourself and your needs, Christina would be honored to support you.
