You’re Not Broken —You’re Just Carrying a Lot

So many clients walk into therapy thinking something is wrong with them. They say things like “I should be over this,” or “Why can’t I just be normal?” But here’s the truth: You’re not broken. You’re responding exactly how a person with your story, your stress, and your circumstances might respond.

Mental health struggles don’t mean you’re defective. They mean you’re human. Anxiety, depression, trauma responses—these are signals, not failures. They’re your mind and body’s way of saying “something’s not working.”

Therapy helps you understand what you’re carrying. We look at your history, the messages you’ve internalized, and the patterns you’ve adopted to cope. Often, those patterns served a purpose at one point. Now, we gently ask if they’re still helping—or if they’re holding you back.

You’ll learn to reframe self-judgment into self-understanding. Instead of asking “What’s wrong with me?” we’ll explore “What happened to me—and how did I survive?” That shift opens the door to healing.

You’re not broken. You’re brave. And you don’t have to carry it all alone.
