You’re experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, burnout (or all of the above). Like my clients, you’re tired of feeling like you have to constantly prove yourself and give twice as much. The feeling of being “too much” here but “not enough” there causes an internal spiral of inadequacy, confusion, guilt, and shame, leading to self-doubt and decisions that don’t serve you.
On top of that, the world is wild!
Maybe you’ve listened to self-help podcasts, followed inspirational people on social media, and downloaded mindfulness apps, hoping to find solutions, encouragement, and ways to cope. Gah! It’s exhausting, and you think, “This can’t be it, right?” You’re strong, and carrying everything alone is too much.
At Alegría Counseling, the goal is to co-create a healing space where you can work through the things holding you back from experiencing joy.
To be clear, this is not toxic positivity or a Pollyanna approach. Joy is an act of resistance.
I specialize in helping women and femme-identifying people in North Carolina struggling with societal, family, relationship, and workplace pressures feel they have the support they need, and I offer online therapy sessions from the comfort of your own space.
You don’t need to code-switch or “perform” for me. Show up however you need to show up. The intention is healing, not perfection.
Experiencing joy in the midst of everything else happening in the world is not out of your reach, and I’d love to help you get there.
Ask about scheduling. I’m here.
