Feeling like no one truly gets it? Your child, your effort, your emotions, your fears? You’re not alone.
In a world that often misunderstands autism—and the moms who fight every day to protect, advocate, and nurture—we’re creating space for you.

This group is a place to connect, be seen, and also feel.
So many emotions get pushed aside so you can keep showing up—grief, guilt, resentment, love, pride, fear, confusion. All of it is welcome here.

This is a weekly support group for moms of autistic kids.
No judgment. Just connection and space to process and breathe.

Tuesdays @ 11AM in Murrieta, CA
Led by Ashley Mullin, AMFT, APCC
$50 consult | $25/session | 6–8 participants

Call (951) 306-2379 for more info.
Life as an Autism mom can feel like too much.. but maybe you’re just not meant to be doing it alone.

“Why Are You Asking Me That?”

Ever been in a therapy session and suddenly felt your chest tighten as your therapist asked that question? The one that made you pause… maybe tear up, get defensive, or even want to shut down completely?

Yep. That’s the one.

Therapists don’t ask hard questions to be nosy or make you uncomfortable. We ask them because healing lives just on the other side of the things we avoid.

Sometimes, the questions we ask are meant to:
• Gently challenge a long-held belief
• Slow down a pattern that’s been on autopilot
• Make space for a truth that’s been buried under survival

We’re not looking for “perfect” answers. We’re looking for you—your story, your pain, your strength, your truth.

Hard questions are an invitation. Not a demand.
You get to say, “I don’t know.”
You get to say, “I’m not ready.”
You even get to say, “Can we come back to that?”

But when you’re ready? That question might open a door you’ve been waiting a long time to walk through.

Healthy relationships aren’t about never disagreeing—they’re about feeling safe enough to disagree without fear of the relationship falling apart. 💬💛 Real connection happens when we listen to understand, not just to respond. When both partners feel heard and respected, even difficult conversations can bring you closer together instead of driving you apart.
If communication feels like a struggle, you’re not alone. Therapy can help you break the cycle of miscommunication, build trust, and create a stronger, more connected partnership.

On the surface, everything seems fine—everyone’s adjusting, routines are in place, and life is moving forward. But blending families isn’t always as seamless as it looks. Even when things seem to be working, unspoken feelings, unaddressed tension, or lingering past hurts can slowly build beneath the surface.

The truth is, being proactive in strengthening your family is always better than trying to fix it once it’s broken. Therapy isn’t just for when things are falling apart—it’s a way to keep your family strong, connected, and thriving.

Here’s why therapy might be exactly what your blended family needs:

✨ Unspoken emotions don’t just go away. Kids and adults alike may suppress feelings of loss, resentment, or confusion to “keep the peace.” But those feelings often resurface in unexpected ways later.
✨ Parenting styles may clash. Even if you and your partner are on the same page most of the time, differences in discipline, boundaries, and expectations can create tension.
✨ Stepparent and stepchild relationships take time. Even in the best-case scenario, trust and connection don’t form overnight. Therapy helps navigate this process with patience and understanding.
✨ Ex-partner dynamics can be stressful. Co-parenting with exes, navigating custody agreements, and managing boundaries can create ongoing stress.
✨ Children may struggle in silence. Even if they seem okay, adjusting to a new family structure can bring up feelings of insecurity, loyalty conflicts, or grief over their old family dynamic.
✨ Resentment can quietly build. When small frustrations go unspoken for too long—whether between partners, kids, or extended family—they can turn into much bigger issues.
✨ Keeping a family together takes effort. Every relationship needs care and attention. Therapy provides tools to strengthen communication, navigate challenges, and ensure that everyone feels seen and heard.

Blending a family is a journey, and you don’t have to navigate it alone. Therapy can help ensure that your family isn’t just surviving—it’s thriving.

Because a strong foundation today prevents cracks from forming tomorrow.

Why Might a High-Achieving Woman Seek Therapy?

You’re juggling a career, relationships, responsibilities, and the expectations—both from others and yourself—to do it all. You’re the one people turn to, the one who always seems to have it together. But even the most capable women need support, too. Therapy isn’t about fixing you—it’s about giving you space to breathe, reflect, and take care of you.

Here’s why therapy might be exactly what you need:

✨ Burnout is real. You keep pushing forward, but deep down, you’re exhausted.
✨ Perfectionism is exhausting. The pressure to excel in every area of life is overwhelming.
✨ You rarely ask for help. You feel like you should be able to handle it all—but no one should have to.
✨ Guilt creeps in. No matter how much you accomplish, it feels like it’s never enough.
✨ It gets lonely. Even surrounded by people, you might feel like no one really sees you.
✨ Setting boundaries is hard. Saying no feels impossible—whether at work, in relationships, or even with yourself.
✨ You’ve lost yourself. Outside of your roles and achievements, who are you?

You don’t have to do this alone. Therapy is a space where you can show up as you—without pressure, without expectations, and without judgment.

If any of this resonates, maybe it’s time to give yourself the same care you give to everyone else. You deserve it.

When something is out of your control, holding onto it mentally just adds unnecessary stress. It’s important to recognize what you can actually do something about and let go of the rest. That doesn’t mean you don’t care—it just means you’re protecting your peace and not wasting energy on things you can’t change. Letting go is about focusing on what’s in your hands and giving yourself the freedom to move forward.
