Identity Work
Reconnecting with Who You Are Beyond the Roles You Play
How It Affects Mental Health
Many people reach a point where they no longer recognize themselves — after trauma, life changes, caregiving, or years of masking to fit in. Identity work in therapy invites you to peel back the layers of conditioning and rediscover what’s true, meaningful, and alive in you.

Feeling lost or unsure who you are outside of work or relationships

Shame around your authentic self or identity shifts
A longing to feel more whole or grounded
