Is this you?

How many times have you thought, "I should talk to somebody," only to brush it off because you’re "okay for now" or "too busy"?

It’s hard to find someone who truly understands, and the thought of sharing your story with a stranger can feel overwhelming.

When You Can Help Everyone Else—but Not Yourself.

You know what you should be doing, and you can help anyone else with their problems, but when it comes to your own issues, it’s just not that easy. You read the witty, self-helpy crap you see on social media, and it probably makes perfect sense, yet you still don’t feel better, and it feels like you understand everyone else, but when you need someone, no one seems to have the time or fully understand what you’re going through.

Feeling Stuck in the Same Patterns?

You keep doing the things the same way, over and over, and getting the same result - feeling stuck and alone. What if you had someone to help you break these patterns and find new, more effective ways to deal with life?

It’s Okay to Decide You’re Ready for Help.

You question, Do I need therapy?, only to quickly dismiss the thought and tell yourself, I can deal with this on my own. What if you stop just dealing with it and actually just be done with it?

Doing Everything Yourself—and Burning Out?

Honestly, you’re too busy to wait for people to get things done, so you just end up doing it yourself, leaving you even more overwhelmed and tired. And you’re not looking for witty cliches or breathing exercises. Sure some of those things are helpful. Maybe you’ve been in therapy before, but simply venting about your day to day, every week, wasn’t really giving you lasting results or change. And you’re wondering what would life be like if I wasn’t.
