You’ve always been sensitive to the world around you. You notice subtleties. You are deeply impacted by emotions.
Your sensitivity can be a gift. But it can also be a burden. At times your ability to soak up your surroundings leaves you overwhelmed and exhausted. Over the years you’ve been called “too sensitive” and concluded that your intense emotions are not normal, perhaps even bad.
You know intellectually that you are bright, kind, and have a lot to offer.
But inside you feel less-than. You’re looking for a compassionate therapist who can help you honor your empathy and complexity.
You want to rediscover your inherent strength and value, in a world in which you’ve too often felt not good enough.
To cope with feeling different, you’ve learned to stifle your emotions and put on a mask to show the world what they wanted to see. Although you desperately want to be in touch with your most authentic self, sometimes you avoid going deep and tuning into your core.
At Melanie Eisner Counseling I help you to get to know yourself on a deeper level, in all of your texture, color, and nuance.
I help you open, with acceptance, to your true self beneath your armor.
Begin to find a home within yourself.
