Fostering Fortitude: Empowering High-Stakes Professionals and Perfectionists
At Fostering Fortitude, we guide high-stakes professionals and perfectionists towards living more authentically and effectively. Our mission is to help you cultivate the inner calm that everyone is talking about, enabling you to navigate life's challenges with fortitude and grace. You deserve to work with a therapist who understands the systemic, unchangeable realities contributing to your struggles.
Are You a Perfectionist or High-Achiever?
Millennial Eldest Daughters: Perhaps you're a member of the "millennial eldest daughter to helper pipeline." Your "fierce independence" and the accolade of being a "pleasure to have in class" may have transitioned into crushing perfectionism and imposter syndrome in adulthood.
The High-Achieving Professional: Maybe you’ve done everything "right." You sacrificed the typical college experience to earn top grades, leading to the best advanced education and a dream career. Driven by a desire to prove others wrong, you pushed yourself to the limit, chasing the adrenaline rush. But now, despite having it all, you feel unfulfilled. Your partner says you're emotionally unavailable, you can't remember the last time you felt at ease, and your critical nature is impacting your performance.
First Responders and Risk Takers: Or perhaps you chose a career that runs towards danger instead of away from it. Your schedule is wild, and your family anxiously awaits your safe return every single shift. You've learned to emotionally disconnect to survive the horrors you face, but now you're completely detached, always presenting a facade of being "fine." This coping mechanism that once protected you now isolates you from your true feelings, trapping you in a cycle of numbing detachment.
Maybe you’re a teacher, dedicated to shaping young minds, but the weight of the education system’s demands has left you feeling overwhelemd and undervalued. Your passion for teacher is overshadowed by the constant pressure to meet standards, manage classroom behaviors, and navigate the ever-changing landscape of educational policies. You find yourself working late into the night grading papers and preparing lessons, only to wake up exhausted and repeat the cycle. The joy you once felt in your profession is now clouded by burnout and frustration.
Through personalized therapeutic approaches, such as EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Somatic Exercises, Mindfulness-Based techniques, and Polyvagal Theory we help you navigate the complexities of your life and career.
