You're competent, and you're not okay. That combination is hard to bring anywhere, because from the outside there's nothing to point at. I work with adults who function well and still feel off in a way they can't explain to anyone, including themselves. High performers who feel like frauds. People carrying complex trauma. People whose emotions run hotter than they can account for. Most come once handling it alone has stopped working. That's a fine place to start.
My training is cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic, and I operate from a person-centered philosophy. I don't hold to one model. I hold to what works for you. Mostly I pay close attention and say what I notice, including the patterns that made sense when you learned them. Then the harder part: changing them.
Directness, and no performance from me either. I'll ask hard questions and I'll answer yours. You won't have to manage my feelings about what you tell me. We'll start by seeing what keeps repeating, then work on what resists, usually the parts that made sense once. You don't need to have the words yet.
