Start here

There is no perfect way to start.

Maybe you know what has been bothering you. Maybe you only know that things feel harder than they used to. Both are okay.

Reasons people reach out

What has been taking up space in your mind?

You may connect with one of these, a few of them, or something else entirely.

Daily stress

School or work feels like too much

Stress, pressure, focus, burnout, or a schedule that never seems to slow down.

Anxiety

My thoughts will not quiet down

Worry, overthinking, panic feelings, or feeling tense even when things seem okay.

Trauma

I can't stop thinking about the past

Painful memories, reminders, or old experiences may still feel close, even when you are trying to move forward.

Low mood

I do not feel like myself

Low mood, feeling stuck, pulling away, or having a hard time enjoying things.

Self-esteem

I am hard on myself

Self-doubt, comparing yourself to others, people-pleasing, or feeling like you are not enough.

Life changes

A lot is changing

School, college, work, relationships, family changes, grief, or big questions about what comes next.

Hard experiences

Something hard still affects me

Past experiences, relationship pain, or moments that still make it hard to feel safe and steady.

Inside a session

Counseling with Audrey can be a place to...

Therapy can include a warm relationship, tools for the present moment, and curiosity about patterns that may have started as protection.

Build trust first

Start with a steady relationship where safety, honesty, and authentic connection can grow over time.

Practice useful tools

Learn skills for stress, emotions, grounding, communication, and everyday life.

Understand patterns

Explore where a response began, what it may have been trying to protect, and what could help now.

Your first session

You do not have to share everything at once.

The first appointment is a starting point. You can ask questions, talk about what has been difficult, and decide what you want help with.

It is okay if you...

  • Feel nervous before you start
  • Need time to find the right words
  • Want to ask how counseling works
  • Are not sure what your goals are yet
