Therapy for Anxious Perfectionists

not currently accepting new clients – closed for indefinite leave of absence

are you stuck in your own head?

The world thinks you have your sh*t together.

The truth is you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and irritable, but you keep putting on that “I’ve got this under control” smile.

After all, if you take a day off, it’ll just mean more crap you have to worry about the next day. It feels easier to just keep pushing through.

At night, you try to fall asleep, but your mind won’t stop racing about all the what-ifs and to-dos.

You’re here because you’re worried that you can’t keep this up much longer, but you’re scared if you slip up or rest, everyone will find out what your life is really like, and you’ll feel ashamed.

Therapy can help you feel less anxious about all the what-ifs and more connected, present, and able to actually enjoy the successful life you’ve worked so hard to create.

Take a look around. See which counselor is the right fit for you. Find the answers to questions about services and approaches. Then, when you’re ready, schedule your free phone consultation.

Mind-Body Techniques

What’s in the brain is in the body. Have you ever noticed the way stress can show up as shoulder tension? We carry stress, anxiety, and even trauma in our bodies. Mind-body therapy techniques sound woo-woo, but they’re legit. Brainspotting (BSP) is one example of a mind-body therapy approach.
