There’s a world within you waiting to be heard.
Therapy for the daughters who became people-pleasers and perfectionists—so you no longer have to shrink to be loved.
You no longer have to live in silence or shrink yourself to stay safe. It’s time for your inner life to be invited into the light—along with all its wounds, strengths, and longing.
Why This Matters
So many women grew up believing they had to stay small—pleasing others, hiding needs, silencing truth—just to feel loved. That belief shapes every part of life: relationships, work, even the voice inside your own head.
Healing that belief is more than personal—it’s a gift to the world. When one person feels whole, she carries that wholeness into her family, friendships, and community. Freedom spreads.
We are all interconnected beings. Just as mirror neurons reflect another’s state, your healing creates ripples in the collective. In a world where humanity is stuck in cycles of suppression and disconnection, your liberation helps unlock freedom of the mind and heart for others.
Hi, I’m citlali (seet-la-lee)
Licensed therapist
Serving millennial women online throughout NY & NJ
I help anxious hyper independent women—the people-pleasers, perfectionists, and parentified daughters—heal from the lasting impact of emotionally immature parents.
If you grew up hiding your feelings to keep the peace, and now live with anxiety, self-doubt, or feeling not-good enough, therapy can help you feel whole again.
How I Walk With You
The path back to yourself is not linear. It is held, attuned, and sometimes wild. Here’s how I guide the journey:
Layered Healing: We engage both the conscious and the unconscious, tracing how early wounds still shape your inner world today.
Body & Nature as Allies: The body knows what the mind can’t yet reach. Nature, movement, and somatic attunement become parts of your process.
Psychedelic-Informed Support: When used carefully and legally, medicine-assisted sessions can open new pathways beyond what talk alone can access.
Deep Inner Work: Through visualization, hypnotherapy, inner child work, and relational repair, we gradually rewrite old patterns and reclaim your voice.
Safe Relational Holding: Our work together is rooted in attunement, consistency, and trust. Your inner experience is honored, not pathologized.
These aren’t just therapies—they are pathways to reclaim your voice, which then radiates into your relationships and beyond.
I offer online therapy across New York and New Jersey, and nature therapy in Northern Westchester County.
This work isn’t just about therapy—it’s about reclaiming your voice, your needs, your space. And when you do, you don’t just change your life—you help shift what’s possible for all of us.
Your healing matters. Your freedom is part of our collective freedom.
Silently struggling with anxiety and perfectionism
Feeling guilty anytime you set a boundary or say ‘no’
Putting everyone else first—and resenting it later
Feeling emotionally unseen or dismissed by your family
Blaming yourself when things go wrong
Believing your worth is tied to self-sacrifice
Waiting for your parents to change so you can finally feel loved
Seeking others’ approval before making even small decisions
Anxious attachment style
Avoiding conflict at all costs
Moving you from:
Understanding the root of your anxiety, not just managing it
Setting boundaries without guilt
Feeling safe taking up space and expressing your needs
Creating a ripple effect in the relationships around you
Reclaiming your voice where you once felt small
Trusting your emotions, instead of fearing them
Healing from emotionally immature parenting
Accepting your family as they are—without abandoning yourself
Making aligned decisions from intuition, not approval-seeking
Releasing limiting beliefs and building authentic self-worth
Living from self-trust, not perfectionism
Moving you towards:
This is your invitation to come hometo the self you had to silence.
Begin your journey to freedom:
To feel safe in your body. Seen in your truth. And loved without earning it.
This is also an offering to the collective—your healing matters not just for you, but for the world that listens.
