A lot of people put off therapy because they don’t know what to expect. We definitely understand that it can feel scary at first.

So here’s what it actually looks like at Authentically You Psychotherapy.

You sit. We sit. You talk when you’re ready. We’re not taking notes on a clipboard or nodding robotically or telling you what to do.

We’re just here. Listening. Asking the questions that help you get to what’s actually going on underneath everything. Gently.

No judgment about how long it took you to get here. No pressure to have it all figured out before you walk in. No explaining yourself before you feel safe enough to.

Just a room where you get to be exactly where you are. As you. Authentically you.

If you’ve been thinking about therapy or you’ve been putting it off because the unknown feels scary, we’re here to support you wherever you are, and however you’re feeling.

Just getting back from the Doubt Yourself Do It Anyway summit in Portland, Maine, hosted by Patrick Patrick Casale | AuDHD + Chronic Illness and Jennifer Jen Agee | Continuing Education Retreats for Therapists.

Some of it confirmed what I already believed: the doubt doesn’t leave before you act. You just do it scared, or unsure, or whatever the feeling is that day. This is how I’ve always approached things. The fear and doubt are typically there, I just don’t let it stop me from moving forward.

I also picked up real things to sit with and work on: money mindset stuff I’m still untangling, thinking more intentionally about building a business that actually works with my neurotype instead of against it, reducing burnout, and so much more.

The connections were the other piece - a big piece. Some brand new, some deepening ones that started before this. It’s a good reminder that you can’t do this alone, and you’re not supposed to. Community isn’t a nice-to-have, it’s part of the work…very, very, necessary.

Then throw in great 🦞rolls and 🦪 oysters, delicious ☕️ coffee and beer 🍺, daily walks with great conversations sprinkled throughout, a mini-photoshoot📸, and impromptu meet-ups. Portland delivered on every level.

Doubt yourself, do it anyway. Still the move. So inspired and so excited for all that’s ahead not only for myself, but for all who attended!

Anticipatory anxiety is something that shows up early…way before the thing you’re feeling nervous about.

It’s your brain trying to protect you from pain it already knows is on the way.

If you’re someone who’s navigating infertility, pregnancy loss, or postpartum, the holidays can feel heavy and loaded.

You’re brain might already start preparing for questions that may arise at family gatherings, feelings you may feel that fall somewhere between Halloween and Christmas, or the social media feeds that are going to be filled with matching pj’s and pregnancy announcements.

A few things that can help:

1️⃣ Name the the dread. Anticipatory anxiety is real and naming it can make it feel a little less connected to you. It can take some of its power away.

2️⃣ Start thinking about boundaries you can put in place. Maybe that’s identifying what you will and wont do this holiday season. That may change when the time comes, but maybe it’s exactly what’s needed.

3️⃣ Identify your person to say the hard things to before the season is here. Don’t wait until you’re already in the thick of it.

You don’t have to force yourself into loving this upcoming holiday season. You just have to get through them in whatever way keeps you most intact and your mental well-being protected.🫶🏽

Meet the people behind Authentically You Psychotherapy!

I’m Kendra, founder and perinatal psychotherapist, certified in perinatal mental health. I started this practice because I know firsthand what it feels like to navigate the fertility journey and not find a space that truly gets it. That’s what we’re building here.

And this is Delena. She brings a specialization in grief to this work…the kind that shows up in infertility, pregnancy loss, postpartum, and parenting. The grief that doesn’t always have a name. She holds space for all of it.

Together we support people through individual and group therapy through every stage of the perinatal journey, from the beginning of family planning to the other side of postpartum and beyond.

We’re clinicians, yes — but also people, shaped by our own lives, who care deeply about this work and about the humans who trust us with theirs.

If you’ve been looking for a place where you don’t have to explain yourself before you can be supported, this is it.

Delena is accepting new clients. Free 15-min consultation. Link in bio ⬆️

Close the app. Take a walk. You are navigating a really difficult season and the ‘back to school’ posts are likely making that season feel a little harder.

Back to school season can be one of those seasons where the grief feels heavy because the world is celebrating, but the world doesn’t see how hard this is for those still waiting.

Infertility is one of the most relationship-straining experiences two people can go through together. Nobody warns you that it can make you feel alone in your own relationship.

That you can be going through the exact same thing and still feel completely unreached by each other.

Save this reminder or send along to your partner…without the pressure to say anything. Sometimes that’s enough.
