The Unspoken Rules of Womanhood
Look sweet. Be sweet. Do all the things.
The relentless expectations of being a women can be crippling. Whether it’s the self-imposed pressure of perfection or the culturally prescribed picture of the mythical superwoman, you’ve learned you’ll never measure up. It throws you out of balance-mentally, physically, socially, and spiritually. You’ve forgotten who you are, what you believe, what you value. It’s been lost in the mire of serving everyone but yourself.
PERFECT. PERFORM. RINSE. REPEAT.
Is it any wonder why we struggle with our memory, worry, excessive guilt, overwhelm, and worthlessness?
It’s time to give yourself a seat at the table-
Ditch the perfection & impossible standards.
Quiet your internal bully.
Reclaim your life

Therapy specializing in women can help you live in the present, figure out who you are again, and help you identify and live in alignment with your values
Women are too powerful to be put in a box, relegated to a small life where we’re not seen, heard, valued, or loved. We must learn to take up space without feeling guilty. We must embrace our value. We must be empowered to live the life God has for us.
It is common for women to come to us feeling they have lost themselves while spending years taking care of everyone but themselves. When asked, most women cannot answer “What do you need in this moment?” Counseling can help you identify who you are and acknowledge your values and needs.
Many women’s have a hate-hate relationship with their bodies. Often, a woman’s mind feels completely disconnected with her body and they don’t even realize it. Counseling can help change your relationship with your body and reconnect your mind to your body. Rather than absolute self hatred, you can begin recognizing what is working well rather than focusing on what you dislike. You can begin to extend kindness to your body for all it has carried you through.
It’s easy to feel alone as a women. Childrearing, careers, school, and spouses take up all of our energy, and there’s not much left for friendship. Our past often makes us wonder how to make friends, trust new relationships, or have meaningful conversations. Counseling can help you recognize challenging relationship patterns and replace them with trustworthy, meaningful friendships.
Often, women come to us with much intellectual knowledge about God, but feel they’re lacking a living, breathing relationship with Him. This may be because Christianity or the Bible has been weaponized by people in power. This may be because they have simply been taught all about God, but have never nurtured a relationship with Him. Therapy specializing in women with Be Still is a safe space to explore where your faith is at and move toward where you want it to be.

Common barriers for women seeking therapy
-
We get it! Here’s another way to think about it. Will there ever be enough time, energy or do you need to make bold choices now so that you can move toward the life you want?
-
We offer both daytime and evening sessions. Many employers are flexible to allow employees an hour off for therapy as their lunch hour.
-
You’re not alone there! Many cultures frown upon therapy; however, a question to ask yourself is “if not me, when who?” Who will be the change agent in your family? Do I want to perpetuate these patterns in future generations?
