Therapy for When Youβre Tired of Holding It All In
Youβve carried the weight of the world long enough. Here, you donβt have to.
FEATURED IN
Youβve been living under everyone elseβs rulesβfamily expectations, workplace pressures, societyβs βshoulds.β
The world keeps telling you to be smaller, quieter, easier to handleβand itβs exhausting.
Working with me isnβt about fixing you.
Itβs 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 reallyβ¦
Youβre 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 didnβt say) while mentally drafting the βperfectβ comeback
You rewrite emails to your boss five times, agonizing over whether you used too many exclamation marks, and added βokay if not!β so you donβt sound desperate, or even worse..bossy
You say βItβs fine!β when it isnβt, just to keep the peace
You volunteer to plan the office birthday partyβeven though youβre already drowningβand then quietly resent it
Youβre tired of managing everyone elseβs comfort while quietly ignoring your own
You donβt have to keep living this way.
Letβs talk about whatβs possible when you finally have a space to speak freely and feel understood. Together, we can start creating the life youβve been quietly craving.
Itβs exhausting, and itβs not sustainable.
Itβs not about becoming someone new or bulldozing your way to confidence. The goal isnβt just βfeeling better.β Itβs 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 βfixβ
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.
Youβre not broken. Youβre not βtoo much.β
You just need a space where youβand your truthβcan breathe.
And we can make that space together.
Ready for that kind of shift?
Thereβs lots out there that can teach you coping skills. Thatβs important β and weβll do that here, too.
But what makes this space different is:
βFeminist, systemic awarenessβ
Naming how patriarchy, white supremacy, and heteronormativity weigh on you β so you stop blaming yourself for what was never yours to carry.
βSafety & validationβ
A space where your anger, grief, and hope are welcome, without judgment.
βPractical + empowering toolsβ
No jargon, no sugarcoating. Real strategies you can use right away.

This is not about βfixingβ you. Itβs 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 isnβt 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 doesnβt just protect othersβit erodes you. Staying quiet, bottling up anger, people-pleasing βover time, it turns into burnout, numbness, anxiety that follows you everywhere, and even autoimmune issues.
You canβt control the world. But you can get stronger, clearer, more grounded, and more free.
Donβt spend another season carrying a weight you were never meant to hold alone. Letβs 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 phoneβ¦
I see you. I hear you. I AM you.
If youβre ready to take the first step, book a free consultation.
And you can do it all online. Promise.
