The Weight You’ve Been Carrying
You've always found a way to keep going. For your family, your work, the people who count on you. And you do it quietly — without complaint, without asking for much in return.
But there's a cost to that. One that doesn't show up on the outside.
It shows up at night, when your mind won't stop. In the guilt you feel the moment you try to rest. In the strange exhaustion of a life that looks fine — and still feels like too much.
You keep showing up — but inside, something's shifting:
Your mind won't stop, even when your body is exhausted
You feel guilty the moment you try to rest or slow down
Life looks fine on the outside — but inside, you're running on empty
You're tired of just coping. You want to actually feel like yourself again.
You're not burned out because you're weak. You're burned out because you've been strong in spaces that never made room for your softness.
Here, there's room for all of you.
Meet Your Therapist
You won't have to explain yourself to be understood.
I’m Lizet Benitez, a bilingual Latina therapist and the founder of Alivio Counseling Center. I've spent my career working with women who are used to holding everything together — and who rarely have a space where someone holds them.
I understand the particular weight that comes with being a high-achieving Latina. The family expectations. The guilt. The way you've learned to be strong in rooms that didn't always make space for your full self.
I've carried versions of that too. Which is why this work isn't just clinical for me — it's personal.
In our work together, you won't need to translate your experience or explain your culture. You can just be — and we'll start from there.
How this work helps things shift:
-
A lot of what feels heavy today didn't start today. Old experiences — even ones you've never named as painful — have a quiet way of shaping how you react, what you reach for, and how safe you feel in your own life.
This work gently tends to what's been sitting underneath. Not to rehash the past, but to loosen its grip — so you can move forward with more steadiness and trust in yourself. -
You've probably spent a lot of energy explaining yourself — your family, your culture, the unspoken rules you grew up with. Here, you don't have to.
I already understand the world you're navigating. That means we can skip the translation and get straight to what actually matters — you. -
There's the part of you that's capable and driven. The part that's exhausted. The part that's guarded. The part that's been quietly waiting for permission to rest.
You don't have to pick one. This work makes room for all of them — with curiosity instead of judgment — so nothing inside you has to keep working so hard just to hold it all together.
This isn't about fixing you. There's nothing broken. It's about finally having a space where you can slow down, turn inward, and start feeling like yourself again.
What We Can Work On Together
No matter what’s been weighing on you, this is a space to gently untangle it and begin feeling more steady and present again.
Anxiety & Burnout
The constant pressure to keep going, keep proving, and keep holding it together—even when you’re exhausted and your mind won’t slow down.
Relationship & Family Struggles
Navigating romantic relationships, family dynamics, friendships, or the relationship you have with yourself-especially when old roles and expectations keep showing up.
Career Pressures
Especially for Latinas balancing ambition, culture, identity, and the quiet weight of expectations— while trying to stay connected to yourself along the way.
Trauma & Past Hurts
Experiences from the past that still surface in the present — through memories, emotional reactions, or patterns that linger, even after you’ve tried to move on.
