Beatriz Mann, Licensed Psychologist, CEDS-C

I love working with folks that dont feel like they fit in a specific box. You might feel like you have a foot in one box (anxiety), a foot in another box (family trauma stuff), and even a hand in another box (attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD)!). This can make it feel like it is really hard to know where to start, and often leaves people feeling stuck with a question of which do I work on first? You might wonder, Do I focus on the anxiety? Or is that not possible until I have dealt with the complicated family history with my parents or a past assault? Am I too complicated for one therapist? No, you are not! This overlap is something that happens to a lot of folks. It doesnt make you crazy or too broken. It means you need to find a therapist that has enough knowledge of each of the boxes and feels comfortable navigating the overlap with you. This is what I feel I am best at. My extensive training gives me the knowledge and skill set to navigate these murky waters with you, and my personal approach brings a touch of humor so that therapy doesn't have to feel so heavy all the time. I also love working with overcontrolled, perfectionistic women, the type A or people-pleasing woman who might look put together on the outside, but on the inside is struggling with her sense of self, her confidence, or feeling as if her perfectionistic mask slipped, others would be able to see just how overwhelmed, triggered, or unhappy she is. Maybe you are the mom that does "all the things," but inside feels like it is never enough. You might feel pulled in a million directions, whether it is advocating for your neurodiverse child, managing your household, or maintaining your marriage, but feel exhausted, disconnected, or lonely. You might feel a constant low level of anxiety, or inability to relax and unwind, feeling always on edge or feeling guilty for taking or even needing a break. If this feels like you, I think I would be a great fit to help you reach your therapy goals.
