Therapy for Individuals and Couples

At Inner Atlas Therapy, we specialize in working with people like you who feel like they’re constantly striving to prove their worth—people who have learned to keep others happy, stay small, or hide parts of themselves in order to feel accepted. You might have grown up with the belief that love and approval were earned by meeting everyone else’s needs and expectations first, leaving little room for your own desires or emotions. Over time, this has left you feeling disconnected from yourself, unsure of how to give yourself permission to take up space or trust in your self.

If criticism hits harder than it should or the weight of other people’s expectations feels overwhelming, it’s because you’ve internalized a way of being that was meant to keep you safe, but now you see how it holds you back. You long for something different—a way of living where you feel grounded in your own worth, where you’re able to trust yourself and show up fully in your relationships and in your life. That longing is a powerful starting point. It’s the first step toward reconnecting with the truth of who you are and allowing yourself to be exactly as you are.
