Isabelle King, LCSW
PSYCHOTHERAPIST | NEW YORK & OHIO
Therapy for Perfectionists, People-Pleasers & Overthinkers in New York and Ohio
Less fixing. More feeling. That’s the work.
LET'S GET CURIOUS.
LET'S GET CURIOUS.
People who:
Aren't sure who you are or what you actually want beneath all the people-pleasing.
Perform extremely well at work or mastered high-functioning in most areas of your life (you’re known to show up and deliver) but internally you're exhausted.
Experience heightened anxiety with relationships. You may be hypervigilant to others' needs/moods but are at a loss of your own.
Know your whole history logically and may even be a storyteller about it. But emotionally it still feels like those younger parts of you are running the show.
Minimize what you went through growing up. Your physical needs were met and nothing "bad" happened, but something still felt missing.
Learned early that self-criticism or self-monitoring kept you in control. This probably worked for a long time, but it doesn't anymore.
Carry a deep sense of aloneness, even when surrounded by people.

Individual Psychotherapy
Something brought you here. Maybe it's exhaustion, anxiety, or a sense that you've been managing for so long you've lost touch with yourself. Individual therapy is a space to slow down, get curious, and finally understand what's been driving the patterns you're ready to change.

Premarital Counseling for Individuals
Getting engaged is a big deal. So is everything it stirs up. The Wedding Therapy Intensive is premarital counseling for you: a focused, short-term program for navigating the family dynamics, identity questions and relationship patterns that engagement brings up, with the option of one joint session with your partner.

Change doesn’t come from trying harder.
It comes from understanding yourself differently.
