Therapy for High Achievers who "Have it All" 
...when life looks good on paper but doesn't feel that way inside

WHEN THE "GOOD LIFE" DOESN'T FEEL SO GOOD

On paper your life looks great!

Yet something feels off.

You want to feel better, but don't know how.

WHEN AUTHENTICITY FEELS HARDER THAN PERFORMING

You're passionate, talented and motivated.

 

People say you're great, but praise feels shallow.  If they only knew...

You want to open up more, but you're afraid.

WHEN SELF-DOUBT JUST WON'T QUIT

You've overcome some major challenges.

 

You have hopes and dreams for a better world, but you're too burnt out to act.

You're faking it, and terrified of what will happen if you slow down.

Hi, I'm Tessa

Most of my life, I’ve looked like someone who has their shit together. In many ways, that’s true.

 

But when searching for a counselor in my 20's, I had trouble finding one who could help me process my emotional pain and face my struggles, despite what was on the surface.

So, I decided to become that therapist for other high achivers, who's lives look good on paper, but don't feel that way inside.

 

I know better than most that:

just because it doesn't show, doesn't mean it doesn't hurt.

The Way It Is

 

There’s a thread you follow. It goes among
things that change. But it doesn’t change.
People wonder about what you are pursuing.
You have to explain about the thread.
But it is hard for others to see.
While you hold it you can’t get lost.
Tragedies happen; people get hurt
or die; and you suffer and get old.
Nothing you do can stop time’s unfolding.
You don’t ever let go of the thread.

~William Stafford

Therapy That's:
