It’s rocky terrain in your experience right now. You’re feeling like the ice is melting beneath your feet. You believe that if you fall in, you might sink. Your emotions, thoughts, actions, and relationships are like a windy, white-out snowstorm on the top of a mountain. Relentless and difficult to navigate. You’re finding yourself tossed in an avalanche of uncertainty, fear, sadness, grief, loss, emptiness, anxiety, panic, pain, anger, stress, rage, codependency, exhaustion, and maybe even shame. Perhaps all those things, or maybe just one? There are times you forget to even breathe at all. You’re internally and externally in discomfort, here, there, and everywhere. Do your inner voices sound critical and unkind, and it makes matters worse? You may have discovered that you feel separate from your family, your friends, your job, and most of all- yourself. Maybe this is how it’s always been, or this is recent. It feels like you’ve lost your bearings and stepped Over the Edge… 

OPENINGS AVAILABLE!!

Hello

Welcome, Fellow Human!

I’m Alanna Kaplan, LCSW, and I’m REALLY glad you’re here!

You are not alone or unusual! ‘Over The Edge’ is a transformative space to be in. Astoundingly enough- we are not meant to carry the weight of the world in one big backpack all by ourselves.You are a life traveler that may benefit from therapy, and you’ve climbed onto a meaningful route as we speak! 

In therapy, we learn how to sort out some of the heavy challenges. Each of us can build a better relationship with ourselves, our inner parts, our bodies, living things important to us, and our environment, and engage in a life worth living. We cannot always control what goes into our life backpacks, but we can control where we put things and how we want to carry them.

Over The Edge,Counseling & Psychotherapy, LLC

Working together, it will become clear that you are the expert of your life. I function as a guide. When we get off the trail, our guides don’t carry us up the mountain. Right? They assist in figuring out how to gather inner and outer resources to get on the path and find the way. Together, we will examine the map of your life’s journey, and traverse a new trail if you decide to. Meanwhile, we explore ways to embrace all kinds of internal and external weather along the way. Side by side, we will trek towards living life intentionally. Not just surviving it. I would be honored to navigate this adventure with you.
