THERAPY FOR WOMEN IN-PERSON IN
COOKEVILLE & Livingston | ONLINE ACROSS TN & FL

Find a path forward. Find yourself along the way.

You're sick and tired of living like this.

Sick of feeling small. Tired of being walked all over. Had enough of not being heard.

You’re sick and tired of living like this. Sick of feeling small. Tired of being walked all over. Had enough of not being heard.

You were taught that women shouldn’t be very assertive — that getting angry isn’t very ladylike. You were taught to know your place. But catching flies with honey hasn’t been working out as well as they said it would. And now? You’re all out of honey, and all you’ve got left to give is vinegar.

You’ve spent so much of your life focusing on what others needed from you that now you’re not sure what you need. You’re actually not even sure who you are outside of the roles you’ve used to define yourself for so long. What you are sure of, though, is that you’re ready to do things differently — to go in a direction that will make you feel content with your choices, bring more balance into your life, and help you have better relationships with your friends and family.

Changing your life through therapy might not be easy, but it will be worth it.

SPECIALIZING IN

  • You’re expected to just put up with the things you go through at work, from your family, and in your love life, and feel like no one takes you seriously. So, you bottle everything up until something pushes you over the edge. When that happens, everyone acts surprised and labels you as “difficult”, but the cause-and-effect seems pretty obvious to you.

    As someone who has experienced this cycle myself, I know how infuriating it can be to not feel heard. Together, we can figure out how to use your anger as a motivator for positive change, and communicate your wants and needs without blowing up.

  • You’ve spent most of your adult life striving for professional success, but now you feel stuck.

    Maybe you’re facing challenges in your workplace that feel unchangeable, and you’re not sure how much more you can put up with. Or it could be that you keep getting passed over for promotions that you feel you’ve earned, and aren’t sure what you could do differently or better. Or maybe, you’re on the brink of retirement but don’t know who you are outside of the career that you’ve poured your life into.

    In our work together, we’ll explore your options and find ways to help you feel more fulfilled and balanced in your life.

  • The amount of responsibility on your plate feels like it’s killing you. It’s gotten to a point where you feel trapped in your life and totally hopeless. Your relationships with friends, family, and your partner have all been affected by your constant worrying, and they’ve all told you multiple times that you need help.

    You know something’s got to give, but don’t know where to turn or what to do to make things better. Together, we can explore your options for moving forward and carve out a clear path to positive change.

HI, I’M PATRICIA
(BUT YOU CAN CALL ME TRISH).

I’m here to help you find your voice.

If you’re new to therapy, that’s okay. You should already be proud that you’ve made the decision to seek support. Sessions with me are always a safe, nonjudgmental space to voice your thoughts and emotions, and you’re welcome as you are.

I know that when you’re standing at a crossroads, it can be difficult (or even scary) to see the options you have and where they’ll ultimately lead. I want to help you connect to a sense of hope, take the blinders of fear off, and explore what you want your future to look like. Then, we can work on learning the tools and skills that will help you get there. 

Together, we’ll look at the negatives in your life and transform them into a plan for action that will help you move forward with confidence.

You didn’t get to this place in your life overnight, and you won’t get out of it overnight either. But know that there is a better life waiting for you on the other side of this… if you’re willing to work for it.

It’s time to live life on your terms.

LET’S MAKE IT HAPPEN.
