You’ve been holding it together for a long time.

Normally, you’re getting things done and taking care of other people…but right now, you’re exhausted. And you’re finally hitting your limit. You feel like you’ve been stretched to your breaking point. You’re worn too thin, constantly feeling overwhelmed. Every day, you wonder how much longer you can hold on or handle it all. Your usual mottos, like “power through it” or “pull yourself up by your bootstraps,” aren’t cutting it anymore. These mottos make you feel worse and ashamed because you feel like you can’t keep up. It’s leading you to feel misunderstood, anxious, and disconnected from everyone because they can’t see your stress. Often, you feel like everyone thinks you “should be happy” with all of the good things you have going for you. But that, too, makes you feel worse.

It’s all starting to take a toll on your body and health. But, you keep trying to do the best that you can and move forward. You push away the grief, the anxiety, the trauma, or how chronic illness affects you. You feel a good cry bubbling up inside of you every day. You push it down, or maybe you save it for when you are in the shower when no one can hear. Or maybe you are just to the point where you feel numb. Either way, it’s taking everything you have to get through the day or week and be present with your family, maintain your performance at work, walk through your grief, or be a decent partner or friend.

You are just so tired. You mumble it under your breath at least once a day.

You keep trying to find your way through the pain you feel to experience peace. Sure, your past has shaped who you are today, but you want to look to the future with hope. Those memories from past pain keep sticking to you no matter how hard you try to shake them off. The internal conflict is exhausting and keeps pulling you back into the shadows.

And all of that has led you here, looking for someone to help you through this difficult season of your life. We can help.

It’s time for a change.

We help people who are burdened, traumatized, and burned out to feel calm in their bodies, peace in their minds, and connected in relationships. It’s time to reclaim the joy, freedom, and connection that you were made for. Together, we’ll work to understand your needs, your history, your relationships, and your goals so we can begin to dismantle the particular obstacles that keep you from flourishing and get you moving back toward the life you’ve been missing. We can help you create an individualized toolkit for managing your life’s stressors so that you can let go of anxiety and feel in control again. During our sessions, we walk hand in hand with you to heal the wounded past, so you can put it behind you for good.

We give you the space to slow down and process your thoughts, help you stop ignoring and downplaying your emotions, prompt you to consider new angles, and teach you new tools to help you find your way forward. We love a good book and a good laugh, so we’ll probably incorporate both into our work at some point.

Let’s start reclaiming the life you were made for.

Therapy can bring a new sense of clarity and help you find a way forward into new patterns and habits that support, rather than jeopardize, your well-being. Our clients often experience relief, hope, and empowerment due to our work together. They experience big improvements in their relationships, learn to use new coping skills for daily stressors, feel more present, and gain a healthier and more balanced view of themselves. They learn to own their stories, heal their traumas, and set healthy boundaries.

Here at Blackbird Psychological Services in Muncie, Indiana, we are fully committed to helping you reach your potential. Erin and Lauren, the co-owners of the practice, came up with the name “Blackbird Psychological Services” from the Beatles song lyrics, “Blackbird singing in the dead of night, take these broken wings and learn to fly, all my life, you were only waiting for this moment to arrive.”

As a group, we all believe therapy will help mend your wings so you can live the life you were made for.

It takes a lot of courage to get started with therapy, and we often say the strongest people walk through our doors to get the help they need. People who ask for help when they need it are strong folks. Everyone needs help at some time in their life, even you.
