Meet Morgan Vazquez, LMFT — Therapist for Burned-Out Moms Who Do It All

Therapist. Mom. Survivor of Burnout. And someone who gets it.

Because I’ve lived the invisible load—and now I help women like you finally set it down.

I’m not just a licensed therapist. I’m a mom of two who’s lived through postpartum rage, guilt, resentment, and the emotional mess of motherhood no one talks about.

I started She Rises Therapy because I was tired of watching capable, brilliant women disappear under pressure—while smiling through the ache of it all.
If you've ever said “I don’t know who I am anymore,” I want you to know: you're not broken. You’re just carrying too much alone.

What Therapy With Me Is Like

Therapy with me is real. It’s not a passive nod-and-smile session.

It’s bold. Emotionally honest. Rooted in compassion—but not sugar-coated.

✔ We’ll get curious about the patterns that keep you stuck
✔ I’ll help you name what you need—without guilt
✔ We’ll quiet the inner critic that whispers “you’re too much”
✔ And we’ll reconnect you with who you really are—not just who the world trained you to be

You’ll feel safe—but also deeply seen. And lovingly challenged to rise.

Who I Work With

I specialize in working with high-achieving, emotionally overloaded women—especially moms—who are navigating:

  • Burnout from the mental load of motherhood

  • People-pleasing, perfectionism & low self-worth

  • Postpartum anxiety, overstimulation, or rage

  • Identity loss and emotional shutdown

  • Resentment in marriage or the “roommate phase”

  • Constant overthinking, guilt, and emotional exhaustion

If you’re wondering, “Who even am I anymore?”—you’re in the right place.
Let’s figure it out together.

My Approach to Therapy:

Deep. Relational. Emotion-focused.

You don’t need fluffy advice. You need therapy that helps you feel—and gives you tools that actually stick.

I use:

  • Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT): to help you process big emotions and feel safer in your body

  • Relational + Attachment-Based Therapy: to unpack patterns rooted in early experiences

  • Cognitive & Psychodynamic Tools: to challenge beliefs, reset boundaries, and build inner worth

Therapy with me is science-backed, soul-deep, and built for women who are tired of shrinking.

Outside of the Therapy Rooom…

I’m a Northern California native, raising two spirited girls with my high school sweetheart. I believe in real talk, warm coffee, and putting my needs first without guilt (still a work in progress, but aren’t we all?).

The same energy I bring to motherhood, I bring into the therapy room: grounded, emotionally honest, and rooted in connection.

Let’s get honest about what you’ve been carrying.
You don’t have to keep faking “fine.”
And you don’t have to do it alone.
