Maybe you learned to keep the peace.
To pay attention to everyone else’s emotions. To question or ignore your own needs. To stay close to people even when the relationship is hurting you.
Those patterns may have helped you once. They don’t have to keep running your life now.

Therapy That Goes Beyond Talking About What Happened
Pay Attention to More Than Your Thoughts
Trauma doesn’t only show up in what you think. Somatic and trauma-informed approaches help us work with the reactions your body has learned too.
Work Toward Something Different
Our work can include practicing boundaries, recognizing patterns, building new responses, and approaching relationships differently.
the harder part
What if You Understand the Pattern, but Can’t Seem to Stop It?
You may already understand why you struggle with boundaries, avoid conflict, put other people’s needs ahead of your own, or find yourself repeating the same relationship patterns. But understanding where a pattern came from doesn’t always make it easier to change.
When you’ve spent years adapting to difficult relationships or environments, those responses can become automatic, even when they’re no longer helping you.
Therapy can help you understand what’s driving those patterns, recognize them as they’re happening, and begin building new ways of responding to yourself and the people around you.
You don’t have to tell every detail of your past to start changing how it affects your life today.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Talia DiPietro, LCSW
I have been a licensed psychotherapist since 2010 and in private practice since 2014. My training includes narcissistic abuse recovery, and the core of my work sits in attachment-oriented and relational therapy.
I did not start here. My first job was teaching English to adult learners, and I kept rewriting the lessons around what my students were dealing with day to day. From there I went to a transitional housing facility, working with women and children on benefits and housing.
The practical help mattered. It also kept running into something a housing application could not reach, and that is what moved me toward this work.
