Women’s Issues Rachel Ann is skilled in helping you work through

Take a look below to assess if any of these characteristics have occurred or are occurring in your life.  Rachel Ann has become specialized in providing therapy and counseling for women, just like you, who may be experiencing:

  • Anxious Mind: frequent worrying, experiencing “worst case” scenario thinking, difficulty letting go of anxious thoughts
  • Constantly feeling the need to achieve: feeling as if you cannot do enough, struggling with relaxing, taking on the role of “extreme caregiver” which in turn causes stress & overwhelm
  • Difficulty with assertively communicating: maybe you notice you have a hard time speaking up for yourself or saying no. You’re ready to let go of and better manage people pleasing tendencies and more confidently express what your needs are.
  • Feeling unsure of who you are: feeling as if you have lost your sense of identity and what you want out of life
  • Questioning what’s occurring in your romantic relationship: maybe you’ve noticed a pattern of arguing within your relationship, feeling unsettled with yourself, and or confused about why you’re constantly on edge or questioning your self worth
  • Fear of upsetting or letting others down: noticing you put your own emotional needs aside for the sake of pleasing others, struggling with assertively expressing yourself and not feeling guilty for doing so
  • Feeling as if there is a discrepancy between how others view you and how you view yourself: while others may describe you as confident and capable, internally, you feel a disconnect from this description–and experience insecurities in your abilities, are very hard on yourself, and you want to get to the root of and change this cycle of thinking
  • Uncertainty about your next move: maybe you recognize something or someone in your life is not healthy for you, but you struggle in making decisions or you waver in your decisions due to fears of upsetting other people.
  • Observing a pattern of unhealthy relationships in your life: maybe you feel discontent, irritated, or even bouts of sadness when it comes to a relationship. You may even be aware there is an unhealthy relational dynamic occuring in a family, partner, or friend relationship, yet are unsure why this continues and how to break the cycle.
  • Going through “it” right now and feeling emotionally shaken up: life stressors and changes have a way of bringing on an influx of emotions–common areas Rachel Ann has assisted many women in working through are divorce, healing from infidelity, reconnecting with your identity after having kids, ending an unhealthy relationship, dealing with family conflict,  even starting a new chapter in life! Here to support you in a trauma informed way.
  • You are tired of feeling this way and are ready to feel supported in making healthy changes!

Be empowered to reach out and ask for help regarding one of the most important relationships you’ll ever have–the relationship with self.

Self-assess. Examining the past to understand the present. The below experiences are areas Rachel Ann Dine has assisted many women in working through. Offering a nonjudgmental and compassionate approach, Rachel Ann is passionate about helping you redefine who you want to be in the present!

  • Role of family mediator: while growing up and possibly even now, you feel as if you have to be the family referee, constantly hearing everyone’s grievances while remaining neutral so as not to upset anyone
  • Parentified child: while growing up, you felt as if you had to parent yourself, your sibling(s), or take on adult roles within the home which caused you to feel as if you could never “just be a kid”
  • You question whether your parent was narcissistic or too self involved for you: maybe your parent was hyper controlling, verbally abusive, or emotionally neglectful and as a result, you didn’t receive unconditional support and nurturing while growing up. As a result, despite trying in the here and now, you still struggle with feeling worthy, self-confident, and expressing your needs (being assertive)
  • Grew up in a controlling household and as a result you struggle with fully knowing who you are
  • Emotional needs were ignored: maybe you had a family who did not express or talk openly about emotions, which in turn, caused you to feel your emotions were unimportant, “too much,” or “a bother” and as an adult, you want to learn how to honor your emotions and express them in a healthy way
  • Witnessing domestic violence, emotional abuse, or unhealthy relational dynamics: growing up, you witnessed unhealthy relational dynamics in your family and as a result, you wonder if this affects your current romantic relationship, partners you choose, or even your current communication style
  • You were a child of a parent who abused drugs or alcohol: you recognize your parent or caregiver struggled with an addiction which in turn created a codependent dynamic that you are interested in exploring and healing from as an adult

A supportive space to feel heard and grow

With all of the messages you may have received (while growing up, from partners, friends, family) OR messages you’ve told yourself along the way, the first step in healing is recognizing what these messages are. Understanding whether or not they are helping or hurting you, and then taking steps to practice self-compassion, challenge and reframe negative thoughts of self, and become intimately acquainted with who you are and what you want out of life. Life is not always easy. But you do not have to grieve, heal, or go on the journey in life alone. Rachel Ann Dine, LPCC, LPC, LMHC looks forward to meeting you and offering you a supportive environment for growth and healing!
