Therapy for Women Who Carry a Lot.
In Portland, Oregon and Across Oregon Online.
Lately it feels like too much.
You’re holding it all together–at work, at home, in your relationships–but underneath the surface, you’re tired, stretched thin, and unsure what you need anymore.
You’re not alone–and you’re in the right place.
Therapy can help you reconnect with yourself, feel more grounded, and finally make space for your own needs.
Let’s figure it out together.
Hi, I’m Dr. Emily Hart, a licensed therapist in Portland, OR.
I help women navigate the complex, in-between seasons of life. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by the mental load of parenting, stuck in your relationships, or stretched thin by career demands and caregiving, you’re in the right place.
Therapy gives you space to slow down, speak honestly, and reconnect with the version of yourself that’s been buried under “being strong.”
Support that meets you where you are.

I specialize in:
Anxiety & Overwhelm
Relationship & Communication Struggles
Parenthood & Caregiving Stress
Midlife Identity Shifts
Burnout
Boundaries & Self-Worth

Therapy for Anxiety & Overwhelm
You’re constantly spinning—mentally tracking everything for everyone. Even when nothing is “wrong,” your body feels tense, your thoughts are racing, and rest feels impossible. Therapy can help you slow down, quiet the noise, and start feeling like yourself again.
-
Therapy for Relationships
You keep the peace, take care of others, and bite your tongue more than you’d like. Whether you’re navigating a difficult marriage, feeling stuck in family dynamics, or struggling to express your needs, therapy offers a space to explore your role in relationships and build healthier patterns.

Therapy for Burnout
You’ve checked all the boxes—career, family, relationships—but it still doesn’t feel like enough. You’re exhausted, disconnected, and wondering if this is all there is. Therapy can help you rediscover who you are beneath the roles and expectations, and make space for a life that actually fits.
You might be wondering…
“Do I really need therapy? Isn’t this just life?”
You’re not alone in asking that. Many of my clients are high-functioning, deeply caring women who have spent years managing everything–but quietly feel exhausted, resentful, or like they’re living on autopilot.
Therapy isn’t about having a crisis. It’s about creating space for you to come back to yourself. To feel more grounded in your day-to-day life. To name what you want (and learn how to ask for it).
