Therapy for women
who are tired of
carrying it all.
You're showing up for everyone — work, relationships, family. But somewhere along the way, you've lost the thread back to yourself. This is the space to find it again.
The pressure to show up perfectly — for everyone but yourself.
You're managing more than most people realize. Career, relationships, expectations — yours and everyone else's. On the outside things look fine. But privately, you feel exhausted, a little lost, and not quite sure how you got here.
The version of yourself that felt grounded, clear, and alive — she's still there. Therapy creates the conditions to find her again.
Begin the Conversation"I feel the pressure to perform at work and at home — and I'm exhausted by both."
"That critical voice inside me won't quiet down, no matter what I accomplish."
"I keep ending up in relationships where my needs go unmet or unspoken."
"I know I need to set boundaries — I just don't know how without losing the relationship."
"The anxiety lives in my body — tight chest, racing heart, a stomach that won't settle."
"I've lost touch with who I am underneath all the roles I'm playing."
What we work on together.
Every woman's experience is unique. These are the areas where I most often work with female clients — though our sessions are always shaped by what matters most to you.
Self-Esteem & Inner Critic
The relentless self-doubt. The replaying of conversations. The sense that no matter how much you achieve, it never feels like enough. We work to understand where that inner critical voice came from — and slowly, to change the narrative it tells.
The goal is a relationship with yourself that feels like a loving best friend — supportive, grounded, and genuinely kind.
Relationships & Boundaries
Feeling misunderstood, unheard, or chronically unsatisfied in your relationships — romantic, family, or friendships. We explore the patterns underneath: how your attachment style shapes who you're drawn to and how you communicate.
From there, we build the skills to communicate your needs clearly and create connections that are genuinely fulfilling.
Stress & Anxiety
The constant worry. The physical symptoms — the tight chest, the sleeplessness, the sense of dread before you even know what you're dreading. Anxiety doesn't have to run your life.
We build a personalized toolkit — drawing from evidence-based approaches — so you can recognize anxiety as it rises and respond to it rather than be overtaken by it.
Trauma-Informed Care
Trauma doesn't always announce itself. Sometimes it shows up quietly — in the relationships you find yourself in, the way your body holds tension, the emotions that arrive too fast or go flat without warning.
My trauma-informed approach is careful, paced, and deeply respectful of your history — aimed at helping you feel more in control of your own life.
An approach built around your whole self — not just your symptoms.
I use a relational, somatic, and trauma-informed framework that looks at the whole picture: your history, your body, your relationships, and the way you've learned to navigate the world. There's no one-size-fits-all in this work.
Every modality I draw from is chosen because it serves your specific goals — and every session is paced by you.
My Full Clinical ApproachThe changes that ripple out from this work.
Therapy isn't just about feeling less bad. It's about building something that genuinely lasts. Here's what I've witnessed women walk away with.
A quieter, kinder inner voice — and a sturdier sense of who you are
Relationships that feel more honest, reciprocal, and genuinely nourishing
The ability to communicate your needs without anxiety or guilt
Anxiety that is manageable — understood, not feared
A body that feels less like a battleground and more like home
A life that finally feels like yours — not a performance for everyone else
Working with Dr. Anissa York.
I'm a Licensed Psychologist with a deep commitment to the women I work with. I've always been drawn to the high-achieving, quietly exhausted woman who has given everything to everyone around her — and is finally ready to give something to herself.
My approach is warm, relational, and genuinely curious about your particular story. I don't offer cookie-cutter solutions — I offer a space where you can finally be fully known, and where change becomes possible because of that.
