Breaking Down Barriers: Jessica Alba’s Honest Take on Therapy
In a world where mental health is still sometimes viewed with stigma, actress Jessica Alba, star of L.A.’s Finest, is leading the charge to normalize therapy. During Her Campus Media’s eighth annual Her Conference on Saturday, June 1, Jessica shared her personal journey and how she's embracing therapy with her 10-year-old daughter, Honor. Her openness is not only refreshing but also a powerful reminder that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Why Therapy Works for Jessica Alba
For Jessica, therapy isn’t just about addressing problems; it’s about creating a healthier, more open relationship with her children. "Some people think, like in my family, you talk to a priest and that’s it," she explained. "I don’t really feel comfortable talking to him about my feelings. I didn’t grow up in an environment where you talked about this stuff, and it was just like shut it down and keep it moving." This revelation sheds light on how cultural and familial expectations can sometimes hinder emotional expression, but Jessica has chosen a different path for herself and her family.

Making Motherhood Better Through Therapy
Jessica credits therapy with helping her become a more effective parent. "Going to therapy has been helping me learn to be a better mother to [Honor] and communicate better with her," she revealed. The results have been so positive that Jessica is considering bringing her younger daughter, Haven, 7, into sessions as well. It's clear that Jessica sees therapy as a tool for growth, not just for herself but for her entire family.
And let's not forget her adorable son, Hayes, who's just 1 year old. Hayes is already stealing hearts with his charm. During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show, Jessica joked about Hayes' obsession with his dad, Cash Warren. "Everything is dada, daddy, da-da. He loves Cash — it doesn’t even make sense," she shared. "Cash will walk in... [Hayes will] just hear the door open... and he'll be like Dadaaaaa from his highchair, like 'Please get me out of this chair, away from all these women.'"

It’s heartwarming to see how Jessica and Cash are raising their children to be compassionate, caring individuals.
Through her candid discussions about therapy and family life, Jessica Alba continues to inspire fans around the globe. Her honesty reminds us all that it’s okay to ask for help and that building strong, healthy relationships starts with open communication.
