Welcome to Onward Counseling!
My name is Sheree Clinedinst and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor providing telehealth therapy from the comfort of your home, anywhere in the state of Virginia. I help adults and adolescents who want to become their most authentic selves, so they can not only live their life, but flourish and thrive within it. I also help couples to work through communication barriers that are limiting the joy their relationship deserves.
Are you tired of feeling like you’re never “enough”?
The people I work with struggle as you do. Despite being driven, intelligent, and hard-working, life is kicking their ass.
As they go through the daily motions of their life, they feel crushed and overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in autopilot no matter how hard they try to gain control over their life.
They have supportive friends and family, but still feel a need to people-please, and mask parts of themselves to be accepted.
They feel stuck in the same patterns that are holding them back from happiness, and they can’t figure out how to break the cycle. They feel such a strong need to control every aspect of their environment, that they can’t relax and actually be present in their world.
Their anxiety and insecurities get in the way of the life they want. They aren’t the kind of friend, partner, or coworker they want to be. They feel like they’re failing, and they’re not where they “should” be in life. Confidence in their abilities to reach their goals has turned to full blown imposter syndrome.
Is this the place for me?
Before they come to see me, my clients have often felt they don’t have enough problems in their life to justify needing therapy. They worried that talk therapy wouldn’t be enough to heal the pain they’ve pushed through for so many years, because life was perfect on the outside and they couldn’t even figure out why they felt this way. And they were certain that trying to work on this wouldn’t be worth the time out of their busy schedule.
Like my clients, you deserve the freedom to be your authentic self, AND be happy with that person, AND feel loved for who you are, not what you provide for others.
A life without overwhelming worries and perfectionism is not out of your reach.
If you want to break free from these cycles that are keeping you unhappy in your relationships, job, or life in general, I’d love to help you.
