For the one who looks fine, and isn't.
Therapy for women, teen girls, and nonbinary folks who are holding it all together on the outside and running out of room inside.
Teens 15+ & adults · Colorado Springs practice · Sliding scale
You're the one people count on. Work gets done, the family schedule runs, the group chat gets answered. From the outside it looks fine. Inside, you're tired in a way sleep doesn't fix, and you can't remember the last time you said what you needed.
For a lot of women and teen girls the weight comes from more than one place at once: something that happened, a family that expects a certain version of you, a culture with its own rules about what you're allowed to feel. Some arrive after getting sober and discovering that the hard part was never only the drinking.
Therapy here is a soft place to land. You don't have to perform being okay in this room.
Usually more than one thing.
- Holding it together on the outside
- Anxiety and overthinking
- Trauma
- Family conflict
- Family and cultural expectations
- Life after addiction
- Teen girls 15+
- Nonbinary and genderqueer clients
