Fine on the Outside, Worn Thin on the Inside?
You're the one everyone counts on. You keep the calendar, remember the birthdays and say yes before you think. Then you lie awake replaying every conversation and making tomorrow's list. You keep telling yourself it's not bad enough for therapy. But running on empty this long tends to catch up with you, in your sleep, your patience and your health.
Why Fernwell Counseling?
I know what it's like to be the reliable one who never gets a break. My sessions are relaxed and practical. We talk, and you also leave with one or two skills to try that week. You can see me in person in downtown Olympia or online from your couch, with evening times for working moms. And you can start with a free 15-minute call, so you know I'm a good fit before you commit.

Meet your therapist
Hi, I'm Dana.
I'm a licensed therapist in Olympia, and I used to be the reliable one who never took a break. Therapy taught me I could care about people and still have limits, so I opened Fernwell to help women who do it all feel calm again. Sessions are relaxed, practical and in person or online.
