Mental Health Therapy Los Angeles
for Adults Who Always Say “Yes”
Your Anxiety has you constantly putting others first. You’re walking through life with a sense of pressure within your relationships and decisions. There are all these expectations of you, from your family, community, partner, friends, your job. It feels like there is just not enough time for yourself.
You have lost track of what you even want.
You grew up learning not to take up space. Being the “good one” or “responsible one;” was expected of you. It has felt ‘natural’ and ‘safer to blend in, to prioritize others, to avoid conflict, even if it meant bottling up your emotions.
But now, it is catching up to you, and you’re starting to notice an increase of sleepless nights, because of overthinking every decision and second guessing yourself. You’re trying to take moments of rest, but your mind just feels flooded with feelings of guilt and self-doubt.
You’re questioning your life choices, relationships, and self-worth. It feels exhausting.
That’s where Mental Health Therapy Los Angeles for People-Pleasing and Anxiety can help. I support adults across California in recognizing these patterns and reconnecting with their own needs with compassion, and not shame.
