Virtual Therapy in Maryland for High-Achieving Women
Therapy for Women Who Say Yes to Everything—Except Themselves
Virtual Therapy in Maryland for High-Achieving Women
The Drive to Do It All Comes at a Price
On the outside, your life looks “together.” Degrees framed on your office walls. Credentials in your email signature. A team who looks up to you. But inside, you may carry struggles no one sees:
Complex trauma: Lasting emotional and psychological impact of repeated or prolonged exposure to harmful experiences—often in relationships where safety and trust should have existed.
People-pleasing tendencies: Being overly-attuned to others' needs (aka hyper "noonchi"), to the point of neglecting your own needs.
Perfectionism and overachieving: Pushing yourself to succeed, but never feeling fully satisfied or at peace.
Another mindset book or leadership retreat isn’t enough. And a therapist who doesn’t understand your cultural experience can leave you feeling unseen. At Helmly Wellness, our virtual therapy offers a safe, culturally-attuned space for the deeper emotional work that leads to real peace and fulfillment.

Gentle, Empathy-Led Treatment Modalities
Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Whether you’re looking for a specialized provider or just know you need to talk to someone, we’re here to guide you through the best type of care for your needs and goals. We will integrate evidence-based interventions pulled from the following modalities.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
Practical skills for managing emotions, stress, and relationships day to day.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Explores how past experiences shape how you think, feel, and connect today.
Emotion-focused therapy (EFT)
Helps you identify and process emotions with compassion and understanding.

Many of my clients are Asian American women or women of color navigating perfectionism, people-pleasing, and complex trauma. If you’re looking for a therapist who understands these cultural pressures and can support you with research-grounded approaches like DBT and psychodynamic therapy, we may be a good fit.

Change takes time. Depending on various factors—such as your goals, personality, and committment—change may take a few months, a year, or even more. Sustainable change rarely occurs after just a few sessions. We promise to make you feel heard and supported in this journey.
Therapy That Goes Deeper Than Surface-Level Solutions
With consistent, supportive therapy, you can move toward a future you want. For many women, doing the deep emotional work allows them to:
Set boundaries without guilt and finally say no when something isn’t right for them.
Quiet the inner critic and let go of constant self-judgment.
Stop people-pleasing and feel more at ease in relationships.
Feel present and grounded, instead of exhausted by perfectionism.
Reconnect with their own identity and values—not just the roles their society expects them to play.
Start Your Journey Back to Yourself
If you’re ready to stop chasing unattainable standards and feel more at peace, Helmly’s virtual therapy in Maryland can help you redefine identity and success on your own terms.
