Siobhan Strickhart, LPC Psychotherapy & Counseling

Siobhan Strickhart, LPC Psychotherapy & Counseling I work with adults who’ve spent a long time being the “strong one”—the helper, the overthinker, the one who keeps it all together even when it’s hard.

linktr.ee/insessionwithsiobhan If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place. My style is real, supportive, and trauma-informed. I use EMDR, DBT, and attachment-focused therapy—but more than that, I’ll actually show up and be in it with you. No blank stares or therapist clichés here. I’m the kind of therapist who gets curious, asks the hard questions gently, and helps you explore the stuff you’ve maybe never said out loud. You don’t need to have it all figured out to start. Whether you’re ready to dig in or just testing the waters, there’s space for you here. Therapy with me isn’t about quick fixes or one-size-fits-all advice. It’s about helping you get back to you—in a way that feels doable, honest, and grounded in who you are. And above all, I’ll meet you as a real human—with warmth, care, and a deep belief that healing is possible, even if it hasn’t felt that way before.

Do boundaries feel worse after you set them?

If you’ve ever said no and then spent hours replaying it, feeling guilty, tense, or tempted to undo it—this isn’t because you lack confidence or clarity.

For many people, boundaries activate old learning from a time when staying agreeable, quiet, or accommodating helped you stay safe or connected. Your body may still react as if self-assertion is risky, even when your adult self knows better.

Save this for the next time guilt shows up.

Share with someone who needs the reminder.

You know you should set boundaries.
So why does your body panic when you do?

'When Choosing Yourself Feels Unsafe'
is a trauma-informed, in-person workshop for adults who want to understand why boundaries feel so destabilizing—and what actually helps.

This is not group therapy.
There’s no pressure to share.
The group is intentionally small.

In this 3-hour workshop, you’ll learn:
• Why choosing yourself can trigger anxiety or guilt
• The difference between boundary guilt and real danger
• What happens in your body after a boundary is set
• How to calm your nervous system instead of spiraling

You’ll also receive a printed workbook and a one-page “after a boundary” cheat sheet you can use long after the workshop ends.

If this resonates, trust that feeling—and save your spot.

I hear this question often—usually asked quietly, with a lot of uncertainty underneath it.

You don’t need a single traumatic event to benefit from trauma-informed therapy. Sometimes it’s about the patterns you learned to survive… and how they’re still showing up now.

Save this. Share it. Come back to it when you need permission to explore something deeper.

When connection feels threatened, the body doesn’t ask, “Is this healthy?”
It asks, “Am I safe?”
“Am I about to be left?”

If you see yourself in Lucy, there is nothing wrong with you.
You learned these patterns to survive.

And the good news?
Attachment patterns can change.

Save this if it hit close.
Share it with someone who needs the reminder.

our brain is always listening.
Especially to you.

Try swapping obligation for choice.
Blame for learning.
“I can’t” for “I’ll try something else.”

Small shifts. Real impact.

Many of us were taught that rest is earned—and anything less than constant productivity means we’re failing.

But for nervous systems shaped by trauma, overwork often isn’t ambition. It’s survival.

If this landed, you’re not broken.
You’re tired—and your body is trying to tell you something.

Save this for the days guilt gets loud.

If you’re used to being the steady one,
therapy can feel unfamiliar at first.

Not because it’s wrong—
but because safety without performing is new.

You don’t need to have the “right words.”

You don’t need to justify how hard things feel.

You just need a space where you don’t have to hold it all together.

Save this if it resonated.

Follow for trauma-informed perspectives on healing, attachment, and learning to choose yourself.

Loving someone with anxiety often means loving a nervous system that learned to stay on high alert long before you entered the picture.

The overthinking isn’t about being difficult.

The reassurance isn’t about not trusting you.

The hesitation isn’t a lack of care or commitment.

It’s a body that learned safety had to be earned, scanned for, double-checked.

And while it can be exhausting on both sides, compassion—paired with boundaries, patience, and support—can slowly teach the nervous system something new.

Depression isn’t just “feeling sad.”
It’s waking up already exhausted.
It’s wanting to care—and not having the energy to.
It’s doing your best while silently wondering why everything feels so heavy.

Depression changes how the brain processes motivation, hope, and connection.
It can make everyday tasks feel overwhelming and joy feel distant—even when life looks “fine” on the outside.

And help doesn’t have to start with having all the answers.
Sometimes it starts with simply being seen and understood.

Save this for the days you need the reminder.
Share it with someone who might be struggling quietly.
And if you’re looking for trauma-informed support that meets you where you are, you’re not alone here.
