Life looks manageable, so why doesn’t it feel that way?
You may be someone others count on. You've built a career, navigated difficult situations, and learned how to keep moving forward, even when life gets complicated. From the outside, things may look fine. Inside, you might feel anxious, restless, disconnected, or overwhelmed without fully understanding why.
Sometimes, the very skills that help us succeed—staying alert, anticipating problems, taking responsibility, and pushing through discomfort—can make it difficult to slow down, feel secure, or enjoy the life we've worked so hard to build.
These patterns can have many roots. Stress, difficult relationships, significant losses, and earlier experiences can shape how we respond to the world long after the circumstances themselves have changed. You don't need to know exactly what's wrong to begin exploring what you need.
Therapy can help you make sense of your experiences, recognize patterns that no longer serve you, and develop a greater sense of clarity, connection, and ease. You don't have to give up your ambition or the strengths you've developed to feel better.
-
Constantly worrying and feeling like something is wrong or could go wrong? There are many causes for anxiety, and often it’s not just “worrying too much”. Trauma-informed therapy helps you get to the root of it.
-
Emotional or physical abuse, lack of predictable safety, confusing or anxious attachments, or emotionally immature relationships. These experiences leave you feeling reactive or shut down. They deserve compassionate attention and healing.
-
Losses that linger, whose meaning impacts our connection to life and purpose.
-
Damaged trust in self and others, resulting from repeated exposure to manipulative, coercive, threatening, or violent experiences.
-
Evidence shows a high correlation between childhood trauma, recent critical life events, and sleep disturbances. I use tools that have proven to bring significant relief to persistent nightmares, nocturnal panic attacks, and nighttime anxiety.

Mandi Fuller,
My approach is relational, collaborative, and connection-oriented. I help adults build confidence in their inner voice, gain insight from their experiences, and move towards greater purpose and clarity.
I make use of evidence-based tools along with specialized training in coercive relationships, complex trauma, and complicated loss. Messy humans with tangled-up lives are welcome here.

Getting Started
Some say this is actually the hardest part. I’m here to help make the process simple, straightforward, and supportive. Let’s start with an initial, no-cost consultation, where you can let me know what you’re looking for, ask questions, and get the details that will help you know whether this feels like a good fit.
1
Ask Questions
Use my contact form to ask questions about therapy, billing, telehealth, or anything else.
2
Schedule a Free Consultation
We’ll spend 15-30 minutes discussing a game plan, and you'll have the chance to see if I’m a good fit.
3
First Session
The first session will take about 50 minutes, and we’ll spend it discussing what’s bothering you most and begin to envision a path forward.
4
Establish a Plan
We start meeting weekly and regularly monitor progress towards goals. It is common to decrease the frequency to every two weeks as we progress.
Insurance and Private Pay
I take several major insurance plans. Private pay is also available. Speak directly with your insurance company to understand exactly what is covered by your plan.

Frequent Questions
Good to know before we get started.
-
Insurance billing requires a diagnosis, so if I am billing your Cigna or United Healthcare plan, I will supply a diagnosis and tailor treatment goals around it.
If you are paying privately (not billing insurance), a diagnosis is not necessary.
I can answer more questions about this on our consultation call.
-
Don’t worry, many people wonder this before they start therapy.
I will adjust the pace and topics as we go, ensuring that the work we do feels supportive, productive, and safe.
My goal is not to push you, but to walk alongside you on your journey.
-
We will collaborate on a timeline and discuss reasonable expectations during our initial conversation. It is common to devote 8 or more sessions to the most intense growth and insight.
“The most profound personal growth does not happen while reading a book or meditating. It happens in the throes of conflict, when you are angry, afraid, frustrated. It happens when you are doing the same old thing and you suddenly realize that you have a choice.”
- Vironika Tugaleva
