You are high achieving, successful and creative...

People appreciate you, and might even consider you charismatic. You’re unique, unconventional, deep, empathetic, and insightful. 

So, what gives?

Why does it feel like you're constantly pushing through obstacles and never quite getting to the life you've always imagined? You know that feeling when you're just going through the motions, overwhelmed and unfulfilled? And the stress, oh my goodness, the stress! It's like a never-ending cycle of anxiety and exhaustion, with no energy left for yourself or your loved ones.

Stress can really steal your joy, can't it?

Despite your accomplishments, you don't feel aligned with your external success, constantly striving to be enough while battling feelings of low self-worth.

You feel like you’re constantly struggling to balance your ambition with your relational needs. You find yourself overwhelmed and stressed by the daily challenges of life. Desperately trying to balance a gazillion projects at once while also showing up for yourself and others. Your mind never stops thinking and creating. You never feel fully present in the moment. You are always striving to do more, learn more and achieve more. You can hyper-focus like nobody’s business when you feel inspired, but it is so irritating, even rage-inducing when someone interrupts your flow. In the wake of getting lost in your process, you unintentionally let other important things slide, like paying the bills or texting your best friend back.

You struggle with maintaining healthy relationships, putting others' needs before your own out of fear of rejection. 

Your desire for validation and tendency to people-please make it hard to say “no” so you impulsively say “yes” and end up regretting it when you realize your plate is already WAY TOO FULL. Yet you keep doing it because all you want is that external validation that you are indeed “good enough” and “worthy of love.” Sadly, the rejection you’ve experienced in life cuts deep and prevents you from believing it.

At the end of the day, all you want to do is crawl into bed and forget about the world.

But even then, your mind won't let you rest. You start questioning everything you've done, every decision you've made, and wonder if you'll ever be good enough. It's like you're your own worst critic, right? Plus, you're spending more time worrying about the past or the future instead of enjoying the present moment. And don't even get me started on those late-night binge sessions with Netflix and whatever vice you use to self-medicate. We've been there too.

But you know what? Effortless perfection is a myth.

We can't have it all together all the time. And you know what else? It's okay to not be okay. We don't always have to impress or people please. It's time to start living for ourselves and our own values. 

So let's ditch the self-doubt, worry, and fear and start living life on our own terms!

Maybe you've always felt a little different, but your success has kept you from seeking support.

At the Art of Healing, we understand you. You value individuality and creativity, empathy and compassion. You care deeply about the world around you and want to make a positive impact. You're insightful and motivated for therapy, but you need someone who is smart, compassionate, and willing to challenge you to explore your psyche in a deeper, more meaningful way.


If you're ready to discover a new way of relating to yourself and others, to experience the transformational power of therapy and find relief from the overwhelm and stress of your daily life, We are here to help. Let's work together to help you reach your full potential and feel confident and fulfilled in all aspects of your life.

These mountains you are carrying, you are only supposed to climb. - Zebian
