Welcome!
I'm Teresa.
At Phoenix Wellness, I support people who are exhausted from trying to hold everything together, constantly hiding their own feelings to take care of everyone else's chaos.
I specialize in navigating dysfunctional family dynamics and relationships, often at the root of chronic burnout, anxiety, and people pleasing.
Virtual and in-office appointments
My office is located in St. Louis, MO (Richmond Heights).
Therapy for Anxiety, Burnout, and Family Stress
Therapy for people tired of shrinking themselves to take care of everyone else.
Eldest Daughters · Family Scapegoats · Burned Out Parents
Chronic Family Fixers · People Leaving Unhealthy Relationships
You are the emotional anchor for everyone around you. The one who is seen as always "fine," always reliable, and always expected to hold it together.
Many of my clients grew up in dysfunctional, chaotic families and learned at a young age that the people in their lives couldn’t handle them having a bad day.
Now, you're an expert at being chronically "fine" and the one everyone relies on (so you feel you have to hide your true needs, opinions, and feelings).
What does this look like?
Burnout
People Pleasing
Chronic Stress
Irritability
Anxiety
Exhaustion
Over-functioning
Emotional outbursts
You have spent your entire life making sure everyone else is taken care of; it's time to take care of you.
