Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, Certified Mental Health & Nutrition Clinical Specialist, and a mom who gets it.

Jeanette Covel, LCMHC, CMNCS, therapist specializing in maternal mental health

I See You, Momma

You are trying so hard. But here you are looking at your phone through tears, terrified you're losing yourself and the joy with your kids. You promised yourself you wouldn't be this way, but when overwhelm hits, your tools are just out of reach and you snap or completely shut down.

You just can't seem to access the YOU that is trapped in there. You spend the day counting the hours until bedtime, only to lie awake in the quiet, grieving the lost time with your kids and the motherhood you imagined.

It is so incredibly heavy to carry this alone. Please know that you aren't failing. Your nervous system is just running on empty.

A Holistic Approach

As a Certified Mental Health & Nutrition Clinical Specialist, I bridge the gap between mental and physical wellbeing to get you unstuck. By combining emotional healing with targeted nutrition counseling for maternal mental health and holistic change, we will calm your nervous system so you can break the cycle and step into the motherhood you dreamed of.

This isn't about adding one more thing to your plate. It's about understanding how what's on your plate, literally and figuratively, is impacting how you feel, how you regulate, and how you show up for your kids.

Why I Do This Work

I became a therapist because I believe every mom deserves support that actually works. Not just talk, but real tools that address the whole picture. The gut-brain connection, the role of nutrition in mood regulation, the way our bodies hold stress. These are not separate from our mental health. They are central to it.

When I saw how many moms were stuck in survival mode despite doing all the "right" things in therapy, I knew something was missing. That's why I pursued specialized training in nutrition for mental health alongside my clinical work. Because talk therapy alone isn't enough when your brain doesn't have the building blocks it needs to heal.

My Promise to You

Please don't put your phone down and go back to just surviving. You give so much to everyone else. Don't spend another night grieving who you want to be. Send me a message right now as a promise to care for yourself.
