“Meeting yourself beneath everything you were taught to be.”
For more than 20 years, I have had the privilege of working alongside people navigating trauma, relationships, identity, life transitions, and the experiences that shape our mental health. I founded Trauma Recovery Collective (TRC) because I believe trauma cannot be understood solely at the individual level. TRC was created to address the complexity of trauma within each participant while also confronting the systemic and cultural issues that harm humanity's collective mental health. Through TRC, I remain committed to fostering a community of healing that recognizes both our individual experiences and the broader societal forces that influence how we live, relate, heal, and understand ourselves.
Therapy with Dr. Duffy
Therapy for women who are ready to know themselves more fully.
I work with women who are navigating the complicated, sometimes disorienting experience of becoming more fully themselves. For many women, the question is not simply “What is wrong with me?” It is often something much deeper: “Who am I beneath everything I have been told I should be?” Our mental health does not develop in isolation. We are shaped by our families, relationships, communities, cultures, workplaces, institutions, and the expectations placed upon our bodies and our lives. Women, in particular, are often asked to carry enormous emotional, relational, and caregiving responsibilities while simultaneously navigating systems that can diminish their voices, choices, bodies, sexuality, and sense of self. I believe therapy should make room for all of that.
My work with women centers on the places where identity, relationships, systems, body, sexuality, life transitions, and mental health intersect. I work with women navigating major life-stage transitions; changes in relationships and family roles; parenting; sexuality and intimacy; questions of confidence and identity; complicated relationships with food and body; interpersonal boundaries; and the experience of finding—or finding again—their own voice.
Sometimes therapy is about learning to hear that voice.
Sometimes it is about trusting it.
And sometimes it is about becoming willing to use it fiercely.
