Therapy for People-Pleasing, Anxiety & Burnout

Online throughout Michigan, and in-person in Ann Arbor.

Heidi Stevenson

Someone asks,

Where do you want to go for dinner?

Before you know it you're already saying,

Whatever's fine.

Later, you realize you never even stopped to think about what you wanted.

It seems like such a small thing.

But moments like that add up.

It shows up in your relationships, at work, and in everyday decisions.

Before long, you're feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and wondering why life feels so hard.

Somewhere along the way, you start to believe that if you just do everything right, you'll finally feel like enough.

So you push down what you feel.

You tell yourself,

Say the right thing.

Don't be too sensitive.

Don't be so needy.

Don't ask for too much.

But the pressure never really lets up.

Feeling like you belong shouldn't depend on getting everything just right.

We'll start by reducing some of that pressure so life feels a little easier.

Over time, you may discover that you can continue giving to others while also caring for yourself.

Eventually, you might even find that saying what you want isn't nearly as risky as it feels.

Ready to Get Started?

I offer a free 15–25 minute consultation so we can talk about what you're looking for, answer your questions, and discuss how I can help. We can also go over insurance and payment options.
