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.

What complex trauma looks like in your 20s & 30s:

It’s not always chaos or breakdowns.
Sometimes it looks like being overly independent because you learned not to rely on anyone…
or feeling guilty for resting…
or shutting down when someone gets too close.

It looks like people-pleasing until you’re exhausted, craving connection but fearing intimacy, feeling “behind” even when you’re trying your best.

It looks like holding everything together on the outside while silently wondering why things feel so hard on the inside.

Let’s be real: people-pleasing is not just “being nice.”It’s self-abandonment with a smile on top.You were trained to ke...

Let’s be real: people-pleasing is not just “being nice.”
It’s self-abandonment with a smile on top.

You were trained to keep the peace.
To be the easy one.
To never make anything heavier for anyone else.

So now your default is:
“Yes, I can.”
“It’s fine.”
“No worries.”
Even when it’s not fine and you’re drowning.

Here’s the shift:
If saying “no” feels scary, that means your nervous system got wired to believe your needs are a threat to your relationships.

But listen.
Your needs are not a problem.
Your voice is not a problem.
Your boundaries are not a problem.

The pattern is the problem.
And patterns can be re-trained.

Start here:
Say “Let me get back to you” instead of yes on autopilot.
One small pause is the beginning of a bigger life.

Save this for when you’re about to say yes… again.

Men struggle too. And often, they struggle in silence.

1 in 8 men will experience depression in their lifetime.
And men are nearly 4x more likely to die by su***de.

Not because they feel less.
But because they were taught not to talk about what they feel.

Men’s depression often doesn’t look like crying or sadness.
It can look like:

• Irritability or anger
• Feeling numb or “checked out”
• Overworking
• Physical pain or headaches
• Increased drinking or substance use
• Pulling away from friends/partners
• “I’m fine.”

So many men are carrying everything quietly.
They show up. They push through. They keep going.
And inside? They are exhausted.

This isn’t a lack of strength.
This is pain without permission to be spoken.

If this is you (or someone you love):
You don’t have to hold it alone.
Support is strength.
You deserve to be heard too.

What does your favorite ice cream flavor say about you?
Are you the calm Vanilla, the dreamy Chocolate, or the misunderstood Mint Chip? 👀

Client: “Do you dress up for Halloween?”
Me: “Every day! I wear the costume of a calm, regulated adult.”

Because let’s be honest — emotional regulation is a full-time performance sometimes. 👻

Happy Halloween to all the “functioning” adults out there doing their best to stay grounded and spooky.

Feeling rejected in therapy can bring up shame, fear, or confusion — but it’s not a sign of failure.

I always tell my clients: this is your space. If something I’m doing isn’t landing or doesn’t feel right, I want to know.
That’s how I continue to grow as a therapist.

I say this to my clients constantly (like, at least a dozen times a month 😂): conflict will happen — what matters most is the repair.

If I didn’t care about hurting your feelings, I’d tell you these 4 things — and honestly, I probably still will. 😉

Gentle reminders for when you feel behind in life...

It’s easy to look around and feel like everyone else is further along — but your life isn’t a race.

Some seasons are for resting.

Some are for healing.

Some are for rebuilding quietly in ways no one else can see.

You’re not late. You’re not behind.

You’re unfolding — and that’s still progress.
