Emily MacNiven, MEd, LPC,

You’ve been carrying more than anyone sees. From the outside, you look like the steady one, the rock everyone leans on. Inside? It feels like the seams are starting to pull. You keep showing up for everyone else, but lately you’ve noticed: 🌀 Tears catch you off guard—in the car, in the shower. 🌀 You snap or shut down with the people you love most, then beat yourself up for it. 🌀 Your mind spins nonstop—rehashing, worrying, running through the list of what you missed or still need to do. 🌀 Even surrounded by people, you feel unseen, like no one really knows how much you’re holding in. 🌀 You can’t remember the last time you felt grounded. It’s not that you don’t know how to push through. 🧠 You’ve read the books, listened to the podcasts, told yourself to “just be grateful.” 🧠 You’ve powered through before. But now… even that isn’t working. And a quiet fear lingers: ❓ What happens if I let go? ❓ What happens if I stop keeping the peace? ❓ What if I can’t get it all back under control? Right now, you don’t need another self-improvement checklist or a complete life overhaul. 👐 You need a safe place to exhale. 👐 You need someone to help carry the weight until you feel strong enough to carry yourself again. 👐 You need to know you’ve got your own back. I see you. And here’s what we can do together through The Red Door Therapy & Wellness Solutions: 🧩 Create space where you don’t have to be “the strong one.” 🧩 Untangle the guilt, shame, and mental spinning that’s been wearing you down. 🧩 Find ways to slow your pace without losing your edge or control. 🧩 Reconnect with the parts of you that have been waiting for air, rest, and space. 🧩 Take small steps—at a pace that feels right—that open big doors to the life you’ve been missing. Support That Fits Your Life, Not the Other Way Around: 💻 Online sessions – Flexible, no-commute therapy that fits into your real life, so you can get support without adding more stress to your day. 🫶 Walk & Talk sessions – Movement, nature, and conversation to calm your nervous system while we work. 🫶 Small, supportive groups – Real connection with people who get it, so you don’t have to carry it alone. 🫶 Between-session tools – Guided journals, prompts, and AI companions to keep you supported between our sessions. Why people choose to work with me: 🗣️ I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)—an approach that blends evidence-based skills with deep compassion. This isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about making space for what’s heavy, finding your grounding again, and building a life that feels more like your own. 🪜 Take the First Step You don’t have to carry it all anymore.
