Jenna Holden, PsyD, LMFT, MS Overcome overthinking, enrich your relationships, and make key changes for lasting results. Thanks for reading and I hope to connect with you soon.

Whether you've been in therapy before and want a new perspective, or this is your first time exploring therapy options: if you feel stuck in patterns that you know you want to change but don't know where to start, you're in the right place. Perhaps you find yourself people-pleasing to avoid disappointing others, or you have difficulty enforcing boundaries for fear of backlash or rejection. Ultimat

ely, you're left feeling anxious and exhausted, all the while not honoring your own needs and wishes. Or maybe you feel out of control of your emotional reactions to certain situations, triggers, or people, and want to understand why. There's a reason so many can relate to these feelings, and there's a way to change it. I help my clients navigate struggles with relationship issues, anxiety, trauma, interpersonal connection in friendships, the workplace, and dating, communication problems, low self-esteem, goal-attainment, family conflict, prenatal and postpartum anxiety, coping with life transitions, and more. Please visit my website for answers to FAQs and more information about what therapy with me is like.

This can feel so foreign, especially when we have been conditioned to think we need a reason to say "no" when something is asked of us. From declining plans to drawing boundaries in our relationships, we don't need to justify our reasons for the decisions we make that are in our best interest. Whether it's to preserve our energy, we have other plans, it goes against our beliefs, it doesn't feel right, or we just don't want to! Whatever your "reason" is, it's good enough. When we justify (or over-justify), we are attempting to manage the other person's perception of us and their emotional reaction, neither of which are our responsibility.

People pleasing can often feel like we’re doing the right thing, but when we only cater to the needs of others, we are also betraying ourselves and turning away from our own needs.
