Anxiety Therapy

Feeling rejected can hurt. But for some, the pain of perceived criticism or exclusion cuts deeper than most people realize. This experience is often referred to as Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD), a pattern of emotional responses where rejection (real or imagined) triggers overwhelming distress. 

For some LGBTQ+ folks, the fear of being “too much”, too emotional, too needy, too loud, too queer can feel like a constant companion. Often, it’s not about what’s happening in the present moment, but about years of subtle (and not-so-subtle) messages that who you are is somehow “wrong” or “extra”. But here’s the truth: you’re not too much.

If you’ve ever been told you’re “too sensitive” or found yourself replaying a small comment or perceived slight over and over again, you’re not alone. This could be signs of something deeper like rejection sensitivity.

Waiting. Nobody likes to wait. And when it comes to mental health, nobody should really have to wait. Even before the pandemic hit – and brought along with it a whole new set of anxieties – it was difficult to find quality counseling in the U.S. It has been even trickier to find specialized care for children and for those reliant upon insurance. And harder still for those that prefer a counselor of Black or Latino descent or one that specializes in identity affirmation. In a

The popularity of the ancient practice of meditation continues to rise in the western world. It seems that we can’t check out at a grocery store without seeing at least one magazine touting the benefits of meditation. And odds are you’ve tried it at least once. Am I right? Yet, we all know that one person – and perhaps it’s you! – that “just can’t meditate.” “I’ve tried it and can’t do it.” “I can’t sit still.” “It’s not for me.” The truth is, we can all actually do it.
