Matrescence therapy makes room for the person you are becoming through motherhood. Mügé Tiritoğlu, RSW, offers virtual matrescence and identity counselling for adults across British Columbia.
Matrescence is the transition into motherhood. It can affect your identity, body, relationships, responsibilities, values, and daily life.
Counselling helps you make sense of those changes and make choices that reflect your values and circumstances.
You might miss parts of your life before having a baby, question expectations placed on you, or want to reconnect with interests and relationships beyond parenting. These are experiences you can explore without having to justify them.
Counselling can focus on
- Identity shifts and the pressure to become a particular kind of mother
- Boundaries with family, community, work, and cultural expectations
- Ambivalence, guilt, or resentment as identity and roles change
- Rebuilding agency, support, and a sustainable sense of self
What to expect
- Sessions focus on your experience, your values, and the choices available to you.
- Individual video sessions are 50 minutes and cost $150 CAD. A free 15-minute consultation is offered when space becomes available to discuss fit and next steps.
- Your family structure, culture, beliefs, and support network can all be part of the conversation. You decide what you want to explore.
