About this Event

If you're questioning yourself, feeling rejected, or wondering if you're doing something wrong, you're not alone. Many moms experience this stage, even though few people talk about how painful it can feel.

You don't have to go through it alone.

Our therapist-led support group provides a warm, judgment-free space where moms can process these emotions, better understand toddler development, and learn practical strategies for staying connected through this challenging stage.

Many moms quietly experience:

  • Feeling rejected by their toddler
  • Guilt and self-doubt
  • Emotional exhaustion
  • Comparing themselves to other parents
  • Worrying they've damaged the relationship
  • Feeling alone in their parenting experience
  • Difficulty balancing their own needs while caring for a young child

Enrollment is limited to just 10 moms to create a supportive, intimate environment where everyone has time to share, receive encouragement, and gain personalized support.

Led by Marina Edelman:

  • Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #51009
  • Gottman Level III Trained Therapist
  • Expert in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy & Emotionally Focused Therapy
  • Founder of TrueMe® Counseling

Many moms are looking for reassurance and support during the toddler years but don't always know where to turn. After seeing the growing need reflected in Yelp inquiries, we created this group to help mothers feel understood, strengthen their confidence, and navigate this developmental stage with greater connection and compassion.

A warm, judgment-free group for moms navigating the toddler 'mommy rejection' phase—because this is harder than anyone admits.
