ONLINE THERAPY IN ILLINOIS, MINNESOTA, AND NEW HAMPSHIRE FOR WOMEN WHO CARRY IT ALL

You’ve built a life that looks successful on the outside…but it is costing you your peace.

Therapy for women who are done pushing through and ready to put it down.

WHAT YOU’RE CARRYING

You don't lack strength. You lack a space where you're allowed to put it down.

Strength isn't something you choose. It's something you became. Because someone had to, and it was you. You didn't know there was another way. All you knew was: if I don't hold this together, who will?

But here's what I know from the women I've worked with and sat across from: the hardest part isn't the exhaustion. It's the loneliness of carrying it without a single person who truly understands what you're holding.

That changes here.

HOW WE WORK TOGETHER

Two ways to find yourself.

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY

Private, online therapy for women in Illinois, Minnesota, and New Hampshire who are ready to stop carrying it all alone.

THE SANCTUARY

A 10-week healing group for women who are ready to stop carrying it alone. Limited to 8 women per cohort, offered in-person in Homewood, IL, and virtually throughout the United States.

ABOUT MARISSA

I built this practice for the woman I used to be.

I'm Marissa Goldman, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker and the founder of The Vessel Therapy. I work with women who give everything to everyone, and I built this practice because I know from my own life what it costs to carry it all.

I built this for the woman who prides herself on caring for others, but secretly cannot remember the last time she let anyone care for her.

You've been the strong one long enough.

You don't have to have it all figured out to reach out. You just have to be tired of carrying it alone.
