Being strong doesn’t mean doing it alone.
It means you kept going even when it was heavy.

Boundaries can be private.

Therapy can help you rewrite it.

Therapy helps you move anyway, with support.

If you’ve ever felt like you had to shrink to be “easier” to love, this is your sign to stop.
The right people won’t label your needs as a problem.
And the right therapist won’t either.

If you’re in Nashville or anywhere in Tennessee and you’re tired of performing “fine,” we get it.
