Therapy for Strong, Powerful People
(who get caught in “people pleasing” behaviors)
You’re slaying.
You’re working hard towards your dreams, your goals, your ideal life. And you’re crushing it in so many ways.
You’ve overcome parts of your past that could have held you down and you’re very proud of how far you’ve come.
But people pleasing is a tricky thing and can find its way in.
You Just Want Good Relationships
(don’t we all?)
But let’s be real, they’re hard.
Your mom, your sibling says that “thing” they always say or your partner makes a curt demand, and all of a sudden, you’re thrown off balance.
All you want is to know how to keep this relationship together without losing yourself.
Here’s the thing - you can learn how to be your authentic self anytime, anywhere. You can improve your response in any relationship. And many times, a better relationship will follow.
It can happen as you learn to stay true to yourself. And this is my happy spot. Helping powerful people live authentically.
“It was easy to be vulnerable…”

“Great conversations and we worked on some skills that I haven’t tried before which I liked. It was easy to be vulnerable and be okay with the vulnerability ”

How will working with me help you?
I have a passion for helping clients connect to their true voice so they can:
Find the source of their people pleasing tendencies
Learn and practice self compassion and curiosity
Increase awareness and acceptance of their thoughts and feelings
Let their feelings guide them in their next step, which may include:
Learning and practicing boundary work
Learning to sit with healthy discomfort
Recognizing common thinking traps and increasing cognitive flexibility
Making values based goals geared towards self-care and empowerment
Therapy can help you work through your problems and grow in peace and bloom like you were meant to, with all the ups and downs of life.
As Brene Brown said, “the most compassionate people…. were also the most boundaried.”
About
Hi, I’m Rachael Hallam, LCSW
As a powerful person and people pleaser in constant recovery, I feel the pull to be in connection with others and to follow what is best for me. I have learned that following what is healthy for me is always what’s best for my relationships and the most loving thing to do.
I love seeing the light come on in people’s lives, literally and figuratively, as they bravely do the discovery, grief and acceptance work to find peace within themselves and their relationships.
It is a great honor to be part of clients’ journeys and to see them eventually feel they have become who they were always meant to be.
