Female Therapists in Yellow Springs, OH

Have you spent your life overachieving, working hard, taking care of others, doing all the right things, and yet thing aren't working out how you expected them to? Are your relationships very often one-sided, where you give a lot but no one takes care of you? I see you. My practice focuses on those who have "done all the right things," and are wondering why things are still so hard. Unfortunately, being hard on ourselves, working hard, achieving all the things, and taking care of everyone around us doesn't often lead to the sort of healing and peace we long for.

The entire world has been changed, seemingly overnight. Please reach out if you need to talk to someone. Ever wake up in the morning and said to yourself, "I cannot keep doing this", only to find yourself doing the very thing you swore off only four hours ago?

Addictions are insufferable. I have been working in the field for 13 years with mental health and addiction issues.

Dude. Have you felt d i f f e r e n t since 2020? Like, it’s hard to describe and pinpoint it, but you know/feel/sense that you’re now somehow different? For instance, you don’t like the same things you used to like (food, shows, music, places, p e o p l e - you name it)… and overall, you just feel oddly disconnected from your current lifestyle. Maybe you feel “trapped” or “stuck” and don’t know where to go or what comes next? Here’s another BIG one – you’ve rarely felt like you truly belonged in this world. Like, something is unique about YOU. You’re a weirdo - always have been. Congrats!
