For When You’re the One Everyone Relies On—And You’re Tired of Pretending
You’re the calm in everyone else’s storm. But inside, you’re worn down, quietly anxious, and carrying too much for too long. Individual counseling in Nyali and Online provides a space where you don't have to manage anyone else.
Stop "performing" wellness. Start actually feeling better.
Don’t Go Into "Pearl-Debt"
We each wake up with a pearl necklace. Every connection, every responsibility, every demand costs a pearl. By the end of the day, are you left with anything for yourself?
Easing the Load with Individual Therapy
We work with high-functioning adults—CEOs, decision-makers, and family anchors—who carry a heavy emotional load. Our clients often arrive feeling:
- "Everyone depends on me—I act okay but I’m not."
- "I’m just so tired of pretending I’m fine."
- "I feel like I’m snapping at everyone lately."
- "I need a place where I don’t have to manage anyone else."
This Isn’t Passive Therapy—
It’s Collaborative Support
You’ve done the kind of therapy where you talk and someone just nods. This isn’t that. Our therapists are active, present, and invested in your actual goals.
Feedback-Informed Care
At every session, you tell us what’s working and what’s not. We use data-backed progress to adjust your plan in real-time—no generic treatment paths.
Evidence-Based Methods
We tailor proven tools to your specific needs, including MBSR (Stress Reduction), Internal Family Systems, CBT, and EMDR.
Goal-Oriented Change
Our goal isn’t just insight—it’s change. You don’t need more self-awareness if it doesn’t translate to peace and presence in your real life.
What You Gain From Our Partnership:
Common Themes We Hear Often
You don’t have to be in a full-blown crisis to seek support. If your life is so full that there’s no space for you in it—that is reason enough.
The Overwhelmed Achiever
Feeling exhausted but unable to slow down; frustrated with your team or family, then feeling guilty for "snapping."
The ADHD Struggle
Wondering if you have ADHD or struggling to manage the executive function demands of a high-pressure life.
The People-Pleaser's Debt
Constantly saying "yes" when you want to say "no," and carrying old grief or unmet needs that still echo today.
The Disconnection
Feeling strangely disconnected from joy, from your original goals, or even from your sense of self.
Want a Taste of How We Work?
At the end of today, pause and ask yourself these two questions:
“What did I give to
everyone else today?”
“What did I give to
myself today?”
Stop performing wellness.
Start actually feeling better.
Whether you want symptom relief, deeper clarity, or just a space where someone sees you, we’re ready when you are. Available online or in-person at our Nyali Sanctuary.
Let's make sure that the next time you say you're "fine," you really are.
