Therapy for First-Gen Professionals & Cycle Breakers in Texas

Heal from parentification, set boundaries without guilt, and finally thrive. You’ve always been the strong one. Now it’s your turn to be supported.

About You

You’re smart, successful, and the go-to person for everyone else. But under the surface? You’re tired. You’ve been holding it all together for so long that you don’t know what it feels like to not be “on.” Maybe you were the responsible one in your family; always helping, never allowed to fall apart.

Now, despite your accomplishments, you feel stuck. You say yes when you mean no, guilt creeps in when you rest, and joy feels just out of reach. You're wondering: Is this it? Or can life feel lighter than this?

You’re Tired of Feeling Stuck

You're craving peace, but you're caught in over-functioning mode. You want to embrace your success without imposter syndrome whispering you're not enough. You want relationships that feel mutual, not draining.

Maybe therapy hasn’t worked before, or maybe you weren’t fully seen. You deserve a therapist who understands the invisible weight of being the strong one, the fixer, the cycle breaker.
