Nurturing connections from the very beginning.
Therapy and parent education for expecting and postpartum parents in San Mateo, Redwood City, and SF Bay Area.
Nurture and Bloom Therapy launches February 2026.
About Us
Nurture and Bloom was created as a sanctuary for individuals entering their most tender and transformative seasons of life—pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood.
We believe that healing begins with being seen — not as someone who needs to be fixed, but as someone who deserves care, compassion, and rest.
Our work is rooted in the belief that parenthood transforms us — and that with the right support, you can rediscover yourself within it.
Here, you’ll find a space that honors the full spectrum of your experience — the mess, the beauty, and everything in between. Because real growth doesn’t happen when you have it all together; it happens when you finally feel safe enough to unfold.
Our mission: To nurture the connection between parent and child by supporting the healing, intuition, and wholeness of the parent.
Providing you with a safe space to heal and reconnect with yourself
Services can be held online via a HIPAA-compliant Telehealth platform or in-person at walking/stroller friendly locations. In-person options are available for local San Mateo County clients and is flexible to bring your baby when they arrive!

Meet the Founder
I’m Jessica Sirias Vasquez, LMFT — therapist, mom, and founder of Nurture and Bloom.
I know firsthand how hard it can be to find yourself again after becoming a mother. After my own experience with postpartum rage, depression, anxiety, and the relentless pressure to be everything for everyone, I realized how easily your sense of self can fade beneath all the giving. My experience showed me how invisible motherhood can makes us feel — and how essential it is to have a space where your voice, your needs, and your story are seen and allowed to take up space unapologetically.
Motherhood has a way of holding up a mirror. The patterns you thought you had outgrown — the people-pleasing, self-doubt, the fear of getting it wrong — often resurface, especially when you are stretched thin. Sometimes it is your inner child showing up, the part of you that never felt fully seen or safe, quietly seeking attention and care. Clients I work with often tell me they feel like they are on autopilot, carrying the weight of old wounds while juggling so much and feeling disconnected from themselves and the life they imagined. In our work together, we slow down and make space for your full experience. Therapy with me is not about fixing you; it is about helping you reclaim yourself, nurturing both your present self and your inner child, and finding steadiness and connection in the becoming.
Whether you’re navigating postpartum anxiety, depression, or a season of identity change, you don’t have to hold it all together anymore. Healing can begin now.
