Feeling misunderstood in your relationship can be one of the loneliest experiences.

You’re trying.

You’re communicating the best way you know how.

But somehow, it still feels like they don’t get you.

Like you're speaking different languages.

If that’s you, I want you to know:
✨ You’re not too much.
✨ Your needs aren’t wrong.
✨ You’re not asking for something unreasonable.

Often, when we feel misunderstood, what we’re really longing for is emotional safety.

To feel seen, known, and responded to with care.

When we’re not feeling safe or heard, we can start protecting ourselves instead of connecting.

Maybe you shut down, get defensive, or over-explain.

Not because you don’t care, but because you don’t feel seen.

If this sounds familiar, your relationship isn’t doomed.
But it might be time to slow down and get curious:

  • Am I expressing what I need, or just what I’m upset about?

  • Do we both know how to listen without fixing or defending?

  • Are we speaking from our pain, or from our longing?

You deserve to feel understood.
And it’s okay to need help getting there.

Reconnection is possible.

It starts with safety, honesty, and sometimes support from someone who can help you translate what your heart is really trying to say. ❤️

New Parents Needing Support

Parenting can be satisfying and fulfilling. But it can also be difficult and time-consuming. Parents must tend to an infant or child’s daily needs. They are also responsible for helping each of their children develop life skills. These skills include daily living skills, social skills, and appropriate behaviors. Parents with more than one child must account for the personalities of each, as well. New parents , overwhelmed parents, and parents facing mental health conditions may benefit from the support of a mental health professional. A  therapist or counselor  can help parents through difficult situations or behavioral concerns. https://www.lifebydesigntherapy.com/

Teen Counseling

A HOPEFUL FUTURE FOR OUR TEENS WITH TEEN THERAPY Among the many changes that frequently occur during the teenage years, kids start to move away from their parents and gravitate far more to their peers for guidance. They desperately want to feel accepted and appreciated, and sometimes this leads to risky behavior like experimenting with drugs and alcohol, having unsafe sex, or getting into trouble with the law.
