‘Why can’t I just get  it together?’

On the outside, you’re juggling work, family, and the endless to-do list like a pro, but inside, you’re one spilled coffee away from losing it. 

The frustration builds as that nagging inner voice insists you’re not good enough, and by nightfall, your mind is doing its usual marathon of regrets and “what ifs.” 

You’re either anxious or feeling numb, disconnected, and just trying to get through another day. 

You know there’s something deeper going on but don’t know where to begin digging it out.

Childhood trauma is like breaking your foot. 

You limp through life, and soon your knee hurts, then your hip goes out, and eventually, your neck is killing you, too. 

It’s easy to blame the symptom—whether it’s anxiety, depression, substance abuse, relationship drama, or that inexplicable urge to yell at the toaster when it burns your toast again

But it all started with your damn foot.

So let’s fix the foot. 

When you mend at the root, everything else starts to ease up.

Suddenly you’re walking through life with a steady gait and those other pain points start to disappear.

At Growth Counseling, we don’t do band-aids.

We go straight to the source—the broken foot you’ve been limping around on for years. 

We dig in, using trauma-informed, research-backed frameworks like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), to heal the core issues and help you finally get unstuck. 

This is about fixing the root issue and watching everything else fall into place.
