You might be tired of holding it all together for everyone else while feeling like you are quietly falling apart. On paper you look strong, capable, and successful. But behind closed doors you may be fighting exhaustion, overthinking every little thing, replaying old mistakes, or lying awake at night with a knot in your chest.

Maybe you have been pretending you are fine while slowly disconnecting from yourself. Maybe you feel a constant pressure to perform, to be “on” for others, or to keep proving your worth. Maybe you have been navigating grief, heartbreak, loneliness, or burnout without letting anyone see how much it hurts. These are the pieces that often go unseen and they are just as real as the parts of you that keep showing up.

At Anchored in Essence Therapy, I help individuals, couples, and professionals in Oregon who are ready to stop surviving and start living in a way that actually feels good. We might work on easing anxiety, recovering from burnout, healing past wounds, or learning how to set boundaries without guilt. We will talk about the unspoken pressures, the moments of doubt, and the quiet fears you have not told anyone.

Together we will slow down so you can breathe again, get clear on what you truly need, and create a way forward that feels possible. I blend “real talk” conversation, tools from CBT and solution focused therapy, and trauma informed care to help you shift patterns and build confidence you can carry outside of session.

This is not a quick fix. It is steady, intentional work where you get to lay everything out without judgment and start reconnecting to your body, your voice, and your vision for your life.

I am Tireeka Watson, LCSW, ASAM-C. For more than ten years I have walked alongside people in some of their hardest seasons…seasons of loss, change, and quiet unraveling. We are creating a space where you do not have to pretend. You just have to show up.

We offer trauma-informed therapy, reentry and legal system support, clinical assessments, and career coaching for social workers and leaders, all rooted in nervous system regulation, emotional clarity, and deep personal transformation.

This is more than a service. It’s a relationship. A collaboration. A long-overdue homecoming to your full self.
