Can you relate?
Overwhelmed by holding it all together?
Even though things look ok from the outside, on the inside you feel like an imposter— you're wondering "Why am I like this? Can't I just be happy?"
-
but what if you can’t meet their expectations? or it turns out you want something else for your life.
-
and sometimes you wonder if it's even possible to "have it all"
-
you want to get your life together and become your best self, and it looks like everyone else already has it figured out.
-
and want to learn to communicate and connect more deeply with friends, family and loved ones.
-
that includes emotional, mental, physical and spiritual.
Welcome to Look Within Psychotherapy
We get it. You don't have to figure it out on your own.
We help women and teens who feel sensitive, overwhelmed, and weighed down by past experiences that still affect them today. Together, we’ll create a safe space to gently explore the patterns and pain holding you back, so you can feel more grounded in yourself, and move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and peace.
We’ll use mindfulness skills and in depth therapy techniques to address the past, embrace the present and create a future that feels exciting for you.
Our Specialities Include
Women & girls feeling anxious, panicky, on edge and wanting to find their voice
Women who have done therapy & personal growth but still looking for something more or different
Feeling overwhelmed, constantly overthinking every decision and fearing you’ll get it wrong
Successful professional and high achieving students who secretly feel like imposters
Struggling with feeling anxious, depressed, missing school, problems in relationships, social media and other issues
Navigating big life changes—like career, grad school, or relationship changes
We'll empower you with practical skills and dive deep together to uncover the "why" behind your struggles, so you can move forward with confidence.
Our approach is warm and insightful, drawing from the rich traditions of depth psychology and mindfulness.
What sets us apart—
A focus on you: Your unique journey is at the heart of everything we do - we make a personalized care plan for each individual.
Blending practical skills with deeper insights: We'll start with practical tools like DBT, ACT & mindfulness, then go beyond symptoms to understand the "why" behind your challenges.
A space to explore: This is a judgment-free zone where you can discover your true feelings, begin to take risks, and be your authentic self.
Building resilience: Gain the self-awareness and skills you need to navigate life's ups and downs.
