Therapy for self-aware people who still feel stuck.
You understand your patterns. You know what you should do. You’re read books, listened to podcasts, had the insights.
Yet, when stressed, overwhelmed, hurt, angry, or afraid, the same reactions keep happening
Maybe you're not missing more insight. Maybe you’re missing a different way of relating to what’s happening inside you.
Instead of trying harder to get rid of unwanted thoughts, feelings, or reactions, therapy can help you become curious about what’s happening underneath them.
I’m Traci Andes, LCSW, RN. Here’s a little about how I work and what you can expect from therapy with me.
Your emotions aren’t problems—they are the advisors trying to guide you.
If you’ve gotten the message you’re “too sensitive,” you may have started to believe that your emotions are problems to solve, manage, or suppress.
In therapy, we begin to listen to emotions differently—as information. When we do, they can clarify needs, strengthen boundaries, and support more connected relationships.
You might be in the right place if you:
Understand your problematic patterns intellectually, yet find they still keep showing up automatically when you are stressed or overwhelmed.
Can’t let some things go and you can’t understand why.
Sometimes have emotional reactions that feel bigger than the situation seems to warrant.
Are actively trying to establish healthier boundaries but aren’t sure how to do it without feeling guilty.
Are navigating a major change in identity, belief, belonging or role.
Spend a lot of energy caring for other people and have trouble extending the same care toward yourself.
