Support For Women Doing Too Much

Women Are Burning Out

Are you constantly carrying the mental load, feeling like you’re failing in every role you play, and unsure what “well-rested” even means? You are not alone.

 

In fact, a 2022 NIH study found that one in four adult women experience a mental health concern. With the ongoing demands of work, relationships, and parenthood, many women feel drained and emotionally exhausted.

 

These issues can take a serious toll on emotional, physical, and mental health. The effects can be mild to extreme, and in many cases, women need help coping. By seeking therapy, women can get support to better understand themselves, set boundaries, and feel more grounded.

Common Challenges Women Face

→ Mood-related challenges
→ Relationship issues
→ Postpartum mood disorders
→ Post-traumatic stress
→ Hormonal shifts
→ Discrimination
→ Burnout
→ Low self-worth
→ Parenting-related stressors

 

These struggles are common, but that doesn’t mean you have to endure them without support.

Women-Focused Mental Health Therapy

Therapy supports women who feel depleted from caring for everyone else before themselves. It will help you rebuild energy, set sustainable boundaries, and rediscover who you are beyond your roles.

 

Some sessions may involve guided, evidence-based practices like mindfulness and compassion-focused therapy, and in other sessions, you may just need to talk it out with someone who will listen.

 

Therapy can be an empowering step toward feeling whole again. Though each step you take may feel challenging, uncertain, or scary, I will be right there with you listening and encouraging you to find steady ground, at your own pace.

  • "Colleen helped me learn to drown out the noise of my own inner critic and reframe my thinking. There were certain narratives I had continually been subscribing to and she helped me realize that your thoughts are not always necessarily true. She is encouraging and very easy to talk to even if you are new to therapy - just like I was when I started out with her - and I can truly say she helped guide me to a much happier and better place in life."

  • "Colleen helped me through a really difficult time in my late twenties with navigating personal and professional difficulties. She is gentle and non-judgmental, but direct in her therapeutic approach. I appreciated her helping guide me to my own conclusions to help take responsibility over my own life."

    Former client, age 32

  • "I started seeing Colleen after going through a really difficult breakup that led me to move back to the area. It was valuable to get a different perspective, and learn how to cope with some negative thoughts I had always had about myself. She reminded me that things in life are temporary, and was patient and caring in our sessions. "

  • "I was going through a lot of things contributing to my burnout - getting married, working too many hours, and mood fluctuations that were tied to my hormonal cycle. After meeting with Colleen, she made me feel less alone, normalized my feelings, and helped me with setting boundaries at work and in my personal life. I also knew she went out of her way for me to consult with other health professionals to seek answers and get resources for my hormonal issues. I am so grateful for her."

  • “Working with Colleen feels like talking to your best friend … but that best friend has an education and expertise in the exact areas you need. I personally didn’t receive the support I needed and deserved from my parents. I did receive it from Colleen”

    Former client, age 36

  • "Colleen created a space where I felt seen, heard, and supported while starting and navigating my eating disorder recovery, and she gently challenged me in ways that led to real growth. I’m incredibly grateful for the clarity, trust in myself, and sense of stability I gained through our work together.”
