Therapy for Boundary-Setting

Do you frequently say yes to others — taking on more than you can handle, even when you’re exhausted, uninterested, or stretched too thin? 

Are you caught in the cycle of people-pleasing, saying yes out of habit — even when no one is expecting it from you?

Do you feel guilty or afraid of disappointing others when you try to speak up for your own needs?

As the weight of these obligations grows, do you find yourself feeling depleted, unappreciated, and resentful?

Does this sound familiar?

You want to be kind, supportive, and reliable. You say “yes” even when you’re exhausted, accommodate others even when it’s inconvenient, and avoid conflict to keep the peace. But deep down, you feel stretched thin — constantly giving while rarely getting the same in return. The weight of people-pleasing and struggling to set boundaries is taking a toll on your energy, well-being, and sense of self.

Over time, resentment builds. You start feeling unappreciated, overlooked, or even taken advantage of. You tell yourself that your needs matter, but when the moment comes to speak up, guilt creeps in — what if they get upset? What if they stop liking you? So, you push your feelings aside again, only to find yourself drained, overwhelmed, and questioning why relationships feel so one-sided. The cycle repeats, leaving you exhausted and disconnected from your own needs — and this self-abandonment is painful.

Healthy boundaries aren’t about pushing people away.

They’re about making space for yourself and honoring your needs. Learning to set and enforce boundaries is an act of self-respect, and it’s possible to do so without guilt or fear.

In therapy, we’ll work together to untangle the fears that keep you stuck in people-pleasing patterns, build the confidence to advocate for yourself, and develop practical strategies to protect your time, energy, and emotional well-being.

Therapy for boundary-setting can help you achieve…

Confidence to say “no” without guilt — Learn to honor your limits and speak up for your needs, without fear of disappointing others or sacrificing your self-worth.

Healthier, more balanced relationships — Experience more mutual respect and emotional safety by setting clear expectations and recognizing when relationships feel one-sided.

Freedom from people-pleasing patterns — Let go of the pressure to keep everyone happy and start showing up more authentically in your relationships and daily life.

Reduced resentment and emotional burnout — Reclaim your time, energy, and emotional space by breaking the cycle of over-giving and internalizing frustration.

Stronger sense of self — Get back in touch with what you actually want, need, and value—rather than constantly adapting to others.

Greater inner peace and empowerment — Feel more grounded, in control, and aligned with your choices, instead of reacting from guilt, fear, or obligation.

Saying “no” doesn’t make you selfish.

It makes space for your peace, balance, and authenticity.
