YOU…

Image of journal and pen with Goals written on it to represent growth and personal vision

Let me guess… On the outside you’re killin it. You’re a high achiever and have always been a hard worker. That’s never been the issue- You got the good grades and were the “good girl” growing up/ You’ve gotten the degrees/ have the kids/ you’ve worked hard to get where you are at in your career, but on the inside something’s missing…and you’re wondering “what gives?”

  • Why aren’t I happier?

  • Why am I always second guessing myself and overthinking almost everything in my life?

  • Why can’t I just relax and have fun?

  • Why do I feel like such a failure?

  • Why do I always feel like I’m falling behind?

  • Why do I never feel good enough?

  • What’s wrong with me?

Well… the good news is you’re NOT crazy and you’re NOT broken AND I have solutions!!

Have you been dreading taking action when it comes to your mental health?

  • "I don’t have time to go to therapy."

  • "What if therapy doesn’t actually work for me?"

  • "I should be able to figure this out on my own."

  • "It’s not that bad—I’ve been through worse."

  • "Therapy is too expensive."

  • "I’m too busy taking care of others to focus on myself."

  • "I’ll start therapy after I get through this busy period."

  • "Talking about my problems might make them worse."

  • "What if the therapist judges me or doesn’t understand?"

  • "I don’t even know where to start or what to say."

  • "Therapy won’t fix my situation."

  • "I’ve tried before, and it didn’t help."

  • "People will think I’m weak or broken if I go to therapy."

  • "I just need to work harder, and things will get better."
