“Courage doesn’t happen when you have all the answers. It happens when you are ready to face the questions you have been avoiding your whole life. ― Shannon L. Alder
TAKE BACK THE TIME AND SPACE YOU DESERVE
Grace Huntley, LMHC in New York, California, Washington, New Jersey and Florida
No matter how strong you are, there will always be a time when outside help is necessary.
As a mental health counselor, I specialize in helping people who excel at taking care of others, take better care of themselves.
I help conflict avoiders, people pleasers, overachievers, perfectionists, and anxious attachers figure out who they are and who they want to be.
Through consistent, personalized individual sessions, I help you develop:
-
greater personal insight and understanding of internalized narratives;
-
awareness of patterns or origins of thoughts and behavior; and,
-
self-efficacy to reach or maintain feelings of wellness and cope better
Together, we will figure out what's not working and find a new path forward.
​
COUNSELING CAN:
Provide:
-
a safe and supportive environment to explore thoughts and feelings
-
validation, empathy, and accountability on a consistent basis
-
an informed and supportive listener who will help you reach your goals
​
Help you to:
-
understand why you do what you do and what sets you off
-
identify and share what you need and want and learn to ask for help
-
be kinder to yourself and become more comfortable taking up space
-
feel more at peace with your own identity and build self-esteem
-
trust yourself to make decisions and navigate disappointment
-
become more confident setting and maintaining boundaries
-
develop resiliency and healthy ways to cope with stress
-
understand and navigate complicated family dynamics
-
build reciprocal intimate relationships
If This Sounds Like You...
-
I avoid asking for help because I don't want to burden others
-
Whenever I think of prioritizing myself I feel selfish or guilty
-
I often play the role of facilitator, peacekeeper, or therapist
​
-
I've checked off a lot of boxes but it still doesn't feel like enough
-
At times I'm not really sure who I am or what I really want
-
I'm constantly planning as a way of staying in control
​
-
It's hard for me to believe that I wouldn't be "too much" for someone
-
Sometimes I'll have this big reaction and not really understand why
-
It feels like I need to be "perfect" for someone to love me
​
-
I feel like I'm stuck between two worlds and not fully accepted in either
-
It's hard to move forward when there are so many questions in my past
-
Rejection tends to hit me hard so I avoid conflict and taking risks
​
You don't have to do it on your own.
