Therapy for Deep Feelers and Thoughtful Minds
Do you feel things deeply, but struggle to trust in your emotions or your intuition? Maybe you are battling an inner critic that just won’t let up, and you compare yourself to others who appear to be having an easier time than you. Perhaps you’ve lost a parent or a friend—or you’ve experienced some other form of heartbreak—whether recently or years ago, and you are still struggling with the weight of that grief.
Whatever you are facing, I want you to know that your emotions are valid. I would love to support you by offering a space where you can slow down and really get to know yourself, so that you can have more clarity and begin to feel more grounded and connected to who you are and what matters most to you.
My name is Alexandra Seastrunk (Alex, for short). I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in San Luis Obispo County. I offer in-person sessions in my office in Arroyo Grande, and virtual sessions to individuals throughout California.
Clients I Work With
I specialize in working with people who think and feel deeply—those seeking meaning and personal growth through their struggles with anxiety, grief, and self-esteem issues. We might be a good fit for working together if you are interested in understanding and learning how to work with your suffering. While coping skills can be helpful, true healing often means exploring the root of your pain. If you are looking for a deeper approach that really gets to the heart of what’s going on inside of you, you are in the right place.
My clients often describe themselves as sensitive to the world around them and easily overwhelmed by their emotions. Uncertainty and change can feel especially difficult, making major life transitions even more challenging. They may feel the pain of grief more intensely, and find that it makes them question their sense of who they are.
My clients also have a lot of gifts, but usually have a hard time seeing them. They are often intelligent, intuitive, and creative, noticing the little things that others might miss. They are highly empathetic, care deeply for others, and are very thoughtful about the ways they express themselves.
If you find yourself wondering:
Why do I feel so much all the time?
Why can't I handle as much as other people?
Will my grief ever feel less overwhelming?
Who am I, really, outside of other people’s expectations?
How do I trust myself when my emotions feel so big?
Please know that you are not alone, and you are not broken. You have so much to offer, and your voice is needed. When you learn to connect with your inner life, and set boundaries around your energy, you will begin to recognize your strengths and feel more confident in sharing them with the world.
