What is a Single Mother by Choice?

A single mother by choice (smbc or smc) is a woman who chooses to become a mother on her own without a partner. A woman may choose this path to motherhood for various reasons: has not found the right partner, biological clock is ticking, health diagnosis, asexuality, etc... This path is rewarding beyond measure and challenging as well! 

​

Raising a child as a single mother by choice can feel like navigating choppy waters all on your own. Even though you made a conscious decision to embark on this journey, it can still be challenging to handle everything on your own. That's where therapy can help! It can provide you with a safe harbor to unload your worries and concerns, while also equipping you with the tools to manage the ebbs and flows of parenthood. Together, we can chart a course for success and find a way to navigate those choppy waters with confidence and grace.

Have you had any of these thoughts or concerns:

  • I want to be a Mom but I never have met the right partner, what can I do?

  • I thought I would have more support, but now that baby is here everyone has disappeared.

  • How do I talk to family and friends about my decision to be a SMC?

  • My parents hate the idea of me being a SMC and I need someone to talk to about it.

  • I'm having doubts about being or becoming a SMC?

  • I'm feeling lonely in this journey of motherhood.

  • The waves keep crashing all around; I just don't know if I can hold my head up any longer?

  • I'm pregnant and feeling all the feels!

  • I don't know who will be at my baby's delivery or how to even ask someone to be there for us.

  • Baby is here! Now what? How do I survive? What did I do!?

  • How do I talk to my child about our special family?

  • Am I ever going to fall in love now that I am a SMC?

  • I want a child, but I don't want to give up all the things in my life I enjoy.

  • My toddler is bonkers and I don't have anyone else to balance this out with, help!

  • How do I choose a donor?

  • No one understands our unique family and our unique struggles.

  • People tell me I did this to myself so stop complaining... but like, it's hard!

  • I think I want to try for a second child but I worry about a lot of things that come with this.

  • Will my baby hate me because they don't have a "traditional" family?

  • My baby legit does not sleep a wink and it is just me and I am so flipping exhausted!

  • I just want to talk to someone who actually gets it, you know?

...I know. I've been there. I am there.
We can surf the waves together!
