The Strong Friend

At Eye In Me, we know that being the strong friend means you’re the one everyone turns to in times of need. You are the reliable support system, the problem solver, and the emotional rock for those around you.

Common Issues and Manifestations

Despite your outward strength, stress and psychological discomfort can subtly infiltrate your life, often unnoticed by others. You might experience emotional exhaustion, burnout, and a sense of isolation, as you prioritize others’ needs over your own. These mental health challenges often manifest as irritability, chronic fatigue, or a perpetual sense of being overwhelmed.

Our therapists specialize in culturally responsive care that recognizes and validates your experiences. We help you develop strategies to manage stress, set healthy boundaries, and prioritize self-care. Our goal is to support you in finding a balance that allows you to take care of yourself while continuing to be there for others.
