Anxiety & burnout therapy for latinas · KATY, TX & ONLINE IN TX & NV

You're tired tired in a way

sleep doesn't fix.

Therapy for Latinas who are done surviving on empty — and ready to finally breathe again.

You're holding it together—
but at what cost?

You show up. You keep going. You do what needs to be done — for your family, your job, your community, everyone who's counting on you. And from the outside, no one would guess how heavy it feels to hold it all.

Because you were raised to carry it quietly. To be strong. To figure it out. To not make your struggles someone else's burden. So you keep moving — even when your body is begging you to stop.

Maybe you call it anxiety. Maybe you just call it always being on — tired, wired, and never fully at rest.

A tightness in your chest before a meeting. Your mind replaying every conversation at 2am. A pressure you can't quite name but feel in your stomach, your jaw, your breath — even when nothing seems "wrong."

The exhaustion that sleep doesn't touch. The guilt of resting when there's still so much to do. The way you snap at the people you love and then spend the rest of the day hating yourself for it.

This isn't weakness. This is what happens when someone strong has been carrying too much for too long — alone.

Does any of this sound familiar?

Your body has been trying to tell you something. Not because something is wrong with you — but because you've been in survival mode for far too long.

  • Constant overthinking and second-guessing yourself

  • Trouble resting — even when you're completely exhausted

  • Saying yes when every part of you wants to say no

  • Snapping at the people you love, then carrying the guilt all day

  • Feeling numb or disconnected, even when things look fine on the outside

  • Keeping it together in public while quietly falling apart at home

  • Always putting yourself last — and not even knowing how to stop

  • Tightness in your chest, stomach, or jaw that never quite goes away

If this feels familiar — you're not alone. And you don't have to keep holding it like this.

For the ones who carry it all

For many Latinas, anxiety and burnout aren't just about full calendars — they're about expectations. The pressure to succeed, to prove, to keep going without complaint. The unspoken rule that your feelings come last. The roles you didn't choose but learned to fill: caretaker, peacekeeper, perfectionist, the one who holds it together so everyone else can fall apart.

The exhaustion of code-switching between who you are and who you're expected to be — at work, at home, in every room you walk into.

Even if you're not the eldest daughter or first-gen, these patterns live in our bones — passed down quietly through love, loyalty, and survival.

It doesn't mean you're broken. It means you've been strong in a way that was never meant to be carried alone — and you've been carrying it for a very long time.

How I hold this space

With steadiness, not pressure.

The kind of space where your nervous system can finally slow down.

Anxiety and burnout didn't appear overnight — and healing from them isn't something we rush. In our sessions, we slow down enough to hear what's underneath the doing, the pushing, the keeping it together. We listen to what your body has been trying to tell you long before your mind was ready to hear it.

We might explore where the anxiety started — the patterns, the roles, the expectations that became part of who you are. We might sit with what rest actually feels like when the guilt isn't there to interrupt it. We might simply practice being still, without the hum of survival mode filling the silence.

This is therapy that meets you where you are — not where you think you should be by now.

You've been strong for a long time. This is where you don't have to be.

Therapy at Alivio is for the women who have been holding it together so long they've forgotten what it feels like not to.

For the ones who are tired — not just physically, but in the quiet, bone-deep way that rest alone can't fix.

You don't have to keep going like this. This is where it starts to shift.

No pressure. Just a conversation to see if this feels right.
