Because you aren't broken. You are exhausted from holding it together for so long.
You’ve learned how to push through. To stay steady. To keep showing up, even when you’re overwhelmed, drained, or unsure what your next step is. But lately, that constant holding it together is starting to take a toll.
It doesn't have to be this way. You deserve a space where you can slow down, feel supported, and stop carrying everything on your own. I help women untangle the impact of trauma and ongoing life stress so they can feel safer in their bodies, clearer in their decisions, and more like themselves again.
This is slow, steady, real healing. Not surface-level coping skills.
About Mind on Mend
Meet The Therapist, Whitney Hartzell, LCSW
Hi, I'm Whitney and I am so glad you are here. If you are ready for deep healing with a side of humor, you are in the right place. This is where we get honest about what you have been carrying and why your nervous system is so over it. I help women untangle old survival patterns, rebuild self-trust, and feel more like themselves again without the pressure to perform. Therapy with me is warm, honest, collaborative, and full of real conversation.
You Might Be in the Right Place if....
-
You feel anxious or tense even when nothing is “wrong”
-
You second-guess yourself constantly and don’t trust your own decisions
-
You’ve been in relationships where you felt dismissed, confused, or emotionally drained
-
You intellectualize your feelings but still feel stuck
-
You’re tired of coping and want real change, not just tools to “get through it”
If you are nodding along to any part of this list, you aren't alone! Therapy with me can provide the support you need.
What Does Therapy Together Look Like?
We won’t just talk about what’s happening in your life.
We’ll slow things down and look at what your body learned to do to survive, even if those patterns no longer serve you. Together, we’ll work on helping you feel more grounded, less reactive, and more connected to yourself so daily life doesn’t feel so overwhelming.
I use EMDR, somatic therapy, and parts-based work to help your nervous system process what it’s been holding onto, not just understand it.
