Therapy for When You’re Tired of Holding It All In

You’ve carried the weight of the world long enough. Here, you don’t have to.

FEATURED IN

You’ve been living under everyone else’s rulesβ€”family expectations, workplace pressures, society’s β€œshoulds.”

The world keeps telling you to be smaller, quieter, easier to handleβ€”and it’s exhausting.

Working with me isn’t about fixing you.

It’s about helping you unlearn the rules that were never written for your happiness in the first place.

On the outside, you look composed. Calm. Capable.

The one who keeps it together.

But really…

You’re sitting in your car after work, OBSESSING over that moment in the meeting when Steve talked over you (again), replaying every word you said (and didn’t say) while mentally drafting the β€œperfect” comeback

You rewrite emails to your boss five times, agonizing over whether you used too many exclamation marks, and added β€œokay if not!” so you don’t sound desperate, or even worse..bossy

You say β€œIt’s fine!” when it isn’t, just to keep the peace

You volunteer to plan the office birthday partyβ€”even though you’re already drowningβ€”and then quietly resent it

You’re tired of managing everyone else’s comfort while quietly ignoring your own

You don’t have to keep living this way.

Let’s talk about what’s possible when you finally have a space to speak freely and feel understood. Together, we can start creating the life you’ve been quietly craving.

It’s exhausting, and it’s not sustainable.

It’s not about becoming someone new or bulldozing your way to confidence. The goal isn’t just β€œfeeling better.” It’s about steady, safe, sustainable shifts that help you:

Speak up without replaying the whole conversation on a loop later

Feel grounded instead of overwhelmed

Stop apologizing for existing (yes, even in your emails) 

Recognize your sensitivity as a strength, not something to β€œfix”

Release the pressure of people-pleasing

Say no to plans without feeling like the world will crumble

Hi! I'm Amie Grant (she/her), a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor seeing clients in Ohio and Missouri.

My approach blends feminist therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) so you can move from self-doubt, shame, and disconnection to clarity, confidence, and a life that actually feels like yours.

No fluff. No generic self-help platitudes. Just real talk, real strategies, and a safe space to untangle the patterns keeping you stuck.

You’re not broken. You’re not β€œtoo much.”

You just need a space where youβ€”and your truthβ€”can breathe.

And we can make that space together.

Ready for that kind of shift?

There’s lots out there that can teach you coping skills. That’s important β€” and we’ll do that here, too.

But what makes this space different is:

❊Feminist, systemic awareness❊ 

Naming how patriarchy, white supremacy, and heteronormativity weigh on you β€” so you stop blaming yourself for what was never yours to carry.

❊Safety & validation❊

A space where your anger, grief, and hope are welcome, without judgment.

❊Practical + empowering tools❊

No jargon, no sugarcoating. Real strategies you can use right away.

This is not about β€œfixing” you. It’s about helping you feel safe in your own nervous system, grounded in your truth, and seen in the world.

Imagine having someone in your corner who sees your sensitivity, empathy, and compassion as the gifts they truly are. Someone who understands that healing is both personal and political, and who will support you in creating a life that aligns with your deepest values.

Curious if this approach is right for you?

The truth is, life isn’t going to magically get less demanding, less unfair, or less overwhelming. And the longer you keep pushing it all down:

The resentment builds.

The exhaustion deepens.

The spark you know you have inside gets quieter and quieter.

Postponing this work doesn’t just protect othersβ€”it erodes you. Staying quiet, bottling up anger, people-pleasing β€”over time, it turns into burnout, numbness, anxiety that follows you everywhere, and even autoimmune issues.

You can’t control the world. But you can get stronger, clearer, more grounded, and more free.

Don’t spend another season carrying a weight you were never meant to hold alone. Let’s talk.

This is your permission slip to stop shrinking and start breathing again.
Your voice matters. Your anger matters. You matter.

And hey. If you hate talking on the phone…

I see you. I hear you. I AM you.

If you’re ready to take the first step, book a free consultation.

And you can do it all online. Promise.
