Where managing ends

And presence begins.

You’ve Coped well — now meet what’s beneath.

The Season You’re In

You’ve traded chaos for competence.
You can hit pause, breathe, set a boundary— all the moves a past version of you could only dream about.

And yet… something under the calm still stirs.
A reflexive “Sure, I can do that.”
A flicker of guilt after you choose yourself.
A perfectionist haze that keeps you productive—and safely distant from deeper wants.

You’re not coming undone; you’re awakening.
The coping strategies have done their job. Now they’re tapping you on the shoulder saying,
“We’ve carried this far enough. Please look at what we’ve been guarding.”

My work is devoted to this precise inflection point.
Together we invite those loyal, over-functioning parts to speak—
not to shut them down, but to free them from duty.

If you’re ready to trade well-managed for well-met, let’s begin.

We’ll start where you already are.

  • You might be in the right place if:

    You’ve already done therapy before and have mastered the coping skills

    You can already steady yourself when stress spikes

    People-pleasing or “holding it all together” still runs the show—even though life looks fine on paper

    You want short-term, focused work that gets underneath the pattern, not another round of coping tips

    You can set aside 60-minute sessions (plus reflection time) to do deeper, root-level IFS work

    A quiet tug is telling you “It’s time to release the weight I’ve carried for years”

    Schedule Consultation

  • You might need something different if:

    This is your very first time in therapy

    You’re still learning foundational emotional skills or regulation

    You’re in an active crisis (suicidal thoughts, substance withdrawal, legal emergency).

    You feel unsure about what you need and just want a space to vent or think out loud.

    You’re looking for long-term, open-ended therapy without a clear structure or goal.

    Insurance paperwork or a formal diagnosis is your primary reason for seeking services.

You’ve spent years meeting everyone else’s needs.

Here, you meet your own.

At Connected Conversations Counseling, healing doesn’t have to take forever — and it never has to feel rushed.

Our work is designed for the recovering people-pleaser who is ready to move from coping into core healing — through concentrated, short-term offerings like IFS intensives and brief therapy.

Inside these focused spaces, you’ll find a steady, relational pace that honors your system's readiness, your parts' timing, and your own deep knowing.

You don’t have to abandon your full life to do this work.
You just don’t have to abandon yourself anymore.

You’ve already done enough.
Now it’s time to simply be enough — just as you are.

Option 1: Short-Term Therapy

16–20 sessions over 3–4 months
Think of it as emotional recalibration. No circling. No dragging it out. Just do intentional work that meets you where you are and takes you forward.

Option 2: Intensive

2–3 days of focused, private support.
These aren’t crash courses.
They’re clarity spaces—crafted to help you clear the patterns you keep bumping into.

There’s more than one way to come home to yourself.

Some parts of you might be ready for deep, focused work.
Others might need more space to unfold gently.

However you arrive, our work honors the pace your system needs — and the changes it’s quietly been longing for.

I’m Andrieah

I'm here for people who are managing beautifully... and still find themselves caught up with people and situations they know they don't want any part of.

You've got the tools, the boundaries, the life that looks good. But those old whispers still show up sometimes, pulling you into places that leave you thinking, "How did I end up here again?"

Instead of adding more ways to manage this, we'll get curious about what's underneath it all. We'll slow down and listen to the parts of you that learned to keep you safe in ways that no longer serve. Together, we'll understand what they're still trying to protect you from... and help them trust that you can handle things differently now.

As these old patterns begin to relax their grip, what emerges isn't better management—it's genuine freedom from the internal negotiations that kept pulling you off course.

This isn't about fixing anything broken. It's about unburdening what's been working overtime... so you can move through your life from a place of actual choice.

If you're ready to stop getting pulled into what isn't yours and start freeing yourself from them... I'd love to meet you.

Not Sure Which Path Is Right for You?

You don’t need to have it all figured out before you begin.

Some parts of you might feel ready to dive in.
Others might still be hesitant, unsure, or overwhelmed.

This short Readiness Assessment is here to help you listen inward — and sense which offering (an Intensive or Short-Term Therapy) might feel more spacious, safe, or supportive for your system right now.

You don’t need to rush the decision.
Just begin with curiosity.
