Parenting comes with incredible joy — but also a level of responsibility, emotional labor, and pressure that can take a real toll on your mental health.
Many parents push their own wellbeing to the bottom of the list, believing they have to stay strong for everyone else. But chronic stress, burnout, and emotional exhaustion don’t just affect you — they shape the environment your children grow up in. Taking care of your mental health isn’t selfish. It’s essential.
In this conversation, Celina Serna, Program Director at our Van Nuys location, sits down with Kent Toussaint, Founder and Clinical Director of the Teen Therapy Center, to talk about why parental mental health matters more than many realize — and how supporting yourself directly supports your family.
At Clear Behavioral Health, we’re here to help parents feel grounded, supported, and empowered to show up as their healthiest selves. 💛
