Therapy for Overextenders and Substance Use Counseling in NC & TX
Anxiety, Burnout, Boundaries, and Coping Skills Support for Young Adults
Hi, my name is Cassidy and I am the owner of Ampersand Way, PLLC. I am a licensed mental health and substance use counselor in both North Carolina (LCMHC & LCAS) and Texas (AADC & LPC). I support young adults who feel stretched thin to understand what’s driving the overwhelm and build a steadier, more grounded way of moving through life.
You may have found yourself here if…
You’re constantly “on,” juggling work, relationships, and responsibilities — and still feeling like you’re not doing enough.
You struggle to slow down or rest without guilt, even when you’re exhausted.
You’re thoughtful and dependable, and your own needs often come last.
You can offer compassion and grace to everyone but yourself.
You overthink decisions, replay conversations, and second-guess yourself.
You care deeply about doing things right — yet it’s hard to feel proud or confident.
You feel burnt out and the idea of making changes almost feels more uncomfortable than the current discomfort you are stuck in.
You’re feeling disconnected from yourself and craving a stronger sense of balance and peace.
You are starting to feel out of control and/or lost within yourself.
You find yourself feeling resentment towards your loved ones that can lead to angry outbursts.
You try to take the edge off or disconnect from all the pressure through substances that has led to a pattern you are not proud of.
You’ve outgrown old coping patterns (like overworking, people-pleasing, or numbing) and are ready for something different.
You want to feel grounded and present instead of stretched thin and anxious.
