“Nobody escapes being wounded. We are all wounded people, whether physically, emotionally, mentally, or spiritually. The main question is not ‘How can we hide our wounds?’ so we don’t have to be embarrassed but ‘How can we put our woundedness in the service of others?’ When our wounds cease to be a source of shame, and become a source of healing, we have become wounded healers.”
Maybe you’re seeking therapy for yourself because…
-You’re noticing things from your past show up in sessions and you’re finding it hard to stay present
-You’ve done therapy before but want to try again
-You are looking for a specific modality to grow your professional understanding and take care of yourself
-You’re exploring your own neurodivergence and wanting a therapist who can help you navigate this
-You’ve tried therapy before but the therapist treated you as though you already knew everything and you weren’t able to take the proverbial “therapy hat” off
-You want support navigating the challenges of being a therapist, working towards being a therapist while in grad school, or working in a community mental health agency
>For the ones who need support too.
>For the ones who are tired.
>For the ones who appear to hold it all together on the outside, but the inside tells a different story.
>For the ones who are crumbling under the weight of carrying everyone else’s needs and wants while ignoring your own.
We know the weight of others’ pain. We feel the weight of others’ suffering. We see the cruelty that humans can inflict on another. We witness the deepest, most hurt parts of our clients and yet we are called upon to continue to show up. There’s a deep desire in us to walk alongside others on their healing journey. But we also need someone to walk alongside our own. I’d be honored to join you on yours.
