You deserve to be with a therapist who understands the reality of the systematic unchangeable realities that contribute to your struggles.
Maybe you’re a member of the millennial eldest daughter to helper pipeline and your “fierce independence” and “pleasure to have in class” has shifted into crushing perfectionism and imposter syndrome in adulthood.
Or maybe you’ve done everything “right”? You’ve sacrificed a typical college experience to earn the grades that opened the doors for the best advanced education. You landed the career of your dreams. You have been motived by nothing more than your own desire to prove them wrong and push yourself to the limit, always chasing the adrenaline rush. But now your partner is telling you that you’re emotionally unavailable, you feel unfulfilled even though you have it all, you can’t remember the last time you didn’t feel on edge and your critical natural is starting to have negatively impact on your performance.
Or perhaps you chose to run towards danger instead of away from it for a career? Your schedule is wild and your family is just along for the ride, anxiously awaiting your safe return home every. single. shift. You taught yourself to emotionally disconnect in order to survive the horror stories that you are in charge of figuring out, but now you're completely disconnected and always present a facade of being "fine". This coping mechanism that once shielded you has now isolated you from your true feelings, leaving you trapped 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.
