I often work with women on processing trauma, improving self-confidence, and establishing healthier relational dynamics. As women, it can be difficult to be direct with others or even prioritize our own well-being while balancing everything else. Therapy can be a place where you get more comfortable taking up space and unlearn painful patterns.
