Online Therapy for Stress and Overwhelm in Maryland and North Carolina

Helping Busy Professional Women be More Present In Their Lives and Reconnect to the Things That Matter Most

 

You’re tired of the stress and overwhelm…

It’s exhausting trying to do everything for everyone. Trying to appear as together as everyone else seems. The hamster wheel just never seems to stop and you’re terrified that you’re going to fall any day now and everyone will find out that you don’t have your stuff together.

Right now….

  • You’re at a time and place where being all the things and showing up for everyone and everything else seems even more necessary than it ever has. And at the same time, you’ve stopped showing up for yourself.

  • Even more than usual, you’re living your life burning the candle at both ends…and it certainly isn’t getting you closer to the things that matter the most to you.

  • You’re wondering how it seems like everyone else has their stuff together (thanks to Instagram and Facebook) when you don’t even know where to begin, what to do, or even who you are.

There is a tiny voice inside that says maybe this isn’t possible, maybe you can’t actually have it all.

You want to be able to care for yourself and fill all your roles in a way that you can feel good about…you would love to just be able to relax for once.

Ready to get there?

Therapy at Calm Waters Counseling helps give stressed-out busy professional women the tools and support to finally overcome stress, reduce symptoms of burnout, and start prioritizing the things that matter most while creating the work-life harmony you desperately crave.

You need someone on your side who understands what it looks and feels like when your to-do list has a to-do list and why you struggle to pour energy into yourself.


About Your Therapist for Stress and Overwhelm

Hi,

I’m Laura,

I help women like you pause, recenter, and engage in a life that is meaningful and that matters to them, because overextending yourself and showing up for everyone and everything else but yourself just isn’t cutting it any longer. 

The problem is, many women fall into this trap because we believe we have to be all the things, do all the things, and have them be perfect – meaning if we don’t meet those requirements we aren’t enough.

I help stressed-out and busy professional women…

  • Develop confidence in their abilities to manage their stress and overwhelm

  • Create skills to add to their self-care toolbox

  • Explore healthy boundaries and put them into action

  • Define the values they want to center their life around

  • Engage in the life they desire

We can get you to a place where you feel like you can have some balance in your life and you don’t always have to be everything to everyone.

Perfectionism Treatment

The pressure you put on yourself is huge. You aren’t able to stop until everything is just right.  But nothing is ever perfect and so nothing ever feels good enough. So you never feel good enough. How do you learn to let go?
