How can counseling help?

You’re doing (mostly) fine on the outside…but there’s a vague sense that something’s off in your life - a quiet discomfort. A disconnection from yourself. Things feel less than alive, even though they look okay on paper.

You don’t have to keep pushing through alone. Counseling is a place to slow down, be honest with yourself, and reconnect with what matters most through relationship with another human.

Let's Work Together

  • Carrying too much pain, confusion, or loss alone

  • Feeling stuck in painful emotional and relational patterns

  • Being super hard on themselves (critical, harsh, judgmental) or perfectionistic

  • Going through the motions of life but knowing that something needs to change

  • Trauma from past relationships, work, or life situations.

What brings people to my office…

Explore what truly matters.

We all have trouble with thoughts and feelings that seem confusing or unbearable. But when we just shut our feelings down (or use thinking to push them away), we often experience anxiety, depression, or just feel overwhelmed.

If you’re longing to reconnect with yourself and feel more deeply, I can help. Together we’ll carefully uncover what’s going on inside, sort through the confusion, and work to get your life back.

Ways to work with me as your counselor…

At some point in life we all need a safe harbor where we can experience support and have time to sort through things. I provide a space where you’ll feel heard and understood without judgement so you can get to the root of the problem, which will support lasting change and relief.

Anxiety & Depression

Constant worry, low mood, and that persistent sense of emptiness can make even ordinary days feel exhausting. Together we'll look at what's underneath your distressing emotions and help you find your way back to feeling like yourself.

Trauma

Trauma shows up in ways we don’t always expect— burnout, perfectionism, feeling disconnected from yourself or others. In counseling, we’ll create a safe space to work through the pain of the past so you can start living more fully in the present.

Relationship Issues

Repeating painful dynamics — giving too much, struggling to be heard, or wondering why connection feels so hard doesn't have to be permanent. Counseling can help you understand where these patterns come from and start to change them.

Meet Blaise Selby, MA, LPCC

I want to help you find more connection to yourself and your life. Together, we will explore your inner world to uncover what’s been hidden beneath the surface so you can take steps toward lasting change.

Counseling provides a space to slow down, reflect, and gain clarity about what truly matters to you. My goal is to help you move forward with presence, insight, and a deeper connection to yourself. There’s no ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach - so we’ll figure out what you need together by listening deeply and getting curious.

Get to know me better

  • I practice a type of counseling based on depth, insight, and relationship.* This means that we go deeper into the problems that are bringing you here and view your life in a holistic, connected way. We are not fully transparent to ourselves, so we pay attention to conscious and unconscious parts of your experience. We do all of this work within a safe and trusted relationship that helps improve your relationships outside of counseling.

    You’ll be able to address symptoms (anxiety, depression, etc.) while paying attention to the background thoughts and feelings that exist behind these symptoms. Together we’ll make sense of your experiences, which will result in greater self-esteem, connection, and fulfillment.

    *You can read more about this type of therapy and the research that supports it here.

  • We’ll meet and talk together about why you’re wanting to start counseling and how you’re hoping it will help. I’ll ask you questions about your life background and experiences and give you time to ask me questions about my approach to make sure we’ll be a good fit.

  • While this depends on what type of support you’re needing, most clients see me weekly or bi-weekly so we can build a strong relationship and stay focused on helping you grow.

  • In counseling you say whatever comes to mind! Seriously - you speak as freely as you’re able, even if it feels awkward or unrelated. Trust me. It will connect with why you’re here. When that feels hard, I encourage people to talk with me about what they’ve been feeling throughout the week - that brings us to important places together.

  • This depends on why you’re starting therapy. Many people start to feel better within a 6 months, but stay in counseling because they want to feel more. Deeper self-exploration takes time. I think you’re worth getting to know and grow if you are able to take the time.

  • When counseling is effective, you may find yourself understanding yourself at a deeper level, feeling emotions more deeply, experiencing more connection with yourself and others, and having an increased sense of freedom or creativity in how you engage with your life.

    There is no single outcome for counseling - everyone needs different things from the relationship. But overall, counseling should help you love, work, and play with greater depth and fulfillment amidst life’s inevitable pain and uncertainty.
