For the woman who is ready to live like she’s enough — without performing, proving, or pretending.

Michelle Brown, MA, LPC
Psychotherapist for Women Managing Anxiety, Overthinking & Perfectionism
Vulnerabilty is safe here.
Welcome!
You look like you’re holding it all together, but the internal pressure is slowly wearing you down. It has become harder to quiet your mind, trust yourself, and feel steady without pushing harder. The thoughts never seem to switch off. Sleep feels lighter than it used to without real rest. You say yes when everything in you wants to say no because, at some point, accommodating others felt safer than disappointing them.
The pressure to stay productive, exceed expectations, and keep everyone happy has left you anxious and emotionally depleted. Decisions that once felt clear now require second-guessing.
Patterns learned early in life may still be shaping how you show up, reinforcing the belief that you must perform or prove yourself to be enough. Over time, this pattern leads to burnout, mood shifts, and a gradual decline of self-trust.
You do not have to remain in this survival mode.
Therapy with me helps you regain emotional steadiness without asking you to stop being driven or capable. This work is not about lowering your standards. It is about changing the patterns that lead to self-betrayal so you can move through your life with greater clarity and stability.
I created Basileia Counseling (Bas-ih-lay-uh), which means inner authority. The strength and clarity you need are already within you. Our work helps you access and trust that inner authority with confidence.
I offer focused intensives for women who want deeper work in less time, as well as individual therapy sessions (weekly, biweekly, and monthly).
It may be time for therapy if you’re struggling with:
Overthinking Unresolved Grief
Emotional Fatigue Mood Swings
Panic Lack of Focus
Guilt Restlessness
Sadness Feelings of Inadequacy
