You've spent your life being the capable one.
The one others rely on. The one who keeps it together. The one who solves problems, manages crises, and takes care of everyone else.
But underneath the success, you may feel exhausted, disconnected, lonely, or unsure who you are when no one needs anything from you.
Therapy can help you better understand these experiences, strengthen your sense of self, improve relationships, and create healthier and more fulfilling ways of coping and relating.
With a warm and relational approach, grounded in evidence-based practices, you will experience respect, earnest care, and years of wisdom to guide your therapeutic journey.
I take pride in meeting clients where they are, truly understanding their needs, and creating a tailored case conceptualization that guides their journey of growth and change.
My area of expertise is focused on All Types of Relationship Challenges. In addition, if you have a difficult time with Others Not Respecting Your Boundaries, are In the Midst of a Significant Life Transition, Feel Lost and Unsure of Your Identity, or Put Others’ Needs Before Your Own, I would love to work with you! My training and experience allow me to connect and support individuals in all stages of adulthood.
Dr. Shana Markle, Ph.D., HSPP
Reaching out for therapy can feel uncomfortable, especially when you are used to managing things on your own. If you are looking for a supportive space to better understand yourself, improve relationships, and create meaningful change, I welcome you to reach out to learn more about working together.
If you are feeling:
Emotionally exhausted
Stuck in cycles of overthinking
Anxious in relationships
Disconnected from yourself
Afraid of disappointing others
Constantly striving but rarely feeling “good enough”
Therapy will provide a space where you can slow down, feel genuinely understood, and explore difficult experiences without judgment or pressure to “have it all figured out.” Dr. Markle’s approach combines emotional insight, relational understanding, and evidence-based therapy to support meaningful and lasting change.
If you’re unsure whether you need therapy or are hesitant about starting with a new therapist, I provide a free 10-15 minute phone consultation to answer your questions. Together, we can determine if therapy is appropriate for you at this time, and explore how therapy can bring you meaningful change, deeper connections, and more fulfillment in your life.
