Healing begins the moment you stop pretending you’re fine.
Virtual Therapy + EMDR For Women
(Michigan + Illinois)
Therapy helps you understand where these wounds started, how they’ve shaped you, and how to release what no longer belongs to you.
This is your invitation to explore the thoughts you’ve never spoken aloud, uncover your emotional triggers, and rebuild the internal sense of worth that was interrupted long ago.
As a woman — especially a woman of color — you’ve learned to push through things most people never see. The expectations, the cultural messages, the guilt for setting boundaries, the pressure to stay strong… it can all feel like a silent storm inside your body.
You may be navigating:
-
Lingering trauma or painful childhood experiences
-
Complicated family dynamics
-
Religious or cultural wounds
-
Shame or guilt that doesn’t feel like yours
-
Feeling disconnected from your emotions
-
Anger that comes out fast and unexpectedly
-
A deep sense that you’ve lost who you are
Over time, these patterns show up everywhere — in relationships, motherhood, work, sleep, and even in how you talk to yourself.
Growing up is hard enough — growing up while carrying emotional pain, identity struggles, or pressure to fit into someone else’s expectations can feel overwhelming. Many teen girls hide what they’re going through because they fear being judged, misunderstood, or dismissed.
Your teen may be experiencing:
-
Anxiety, racing thoughts, or emotional overwhelm
-
Struggles with self-worth or identity
-
Conflict with parents or pressure to meet expectations
-
Feeling like they have to “act fine”
-
Shame or guilt about expressing their needs
-
Fear of disappointing their family
-
Self-harm, anger, or shutting down emotionally
They may not have the words for what they’re feeling — but their body, their behavior, and their relationships are telling the story for them.
Virtual Therapy for Teen Girls (Michigan + Illinois)
Therapy gives teens a confidential, supportive place to show up exactly as they are — without fear of punishment, pressure, or judgment.
Through therapy, they learn how to understand their emotions, process their pain, and build the confidence to express themselves in healthy, safe ways.
