Over time, this can lead to shame, anxiety, perfectionism, and a complicated relationship with food, movement, and self-worth. In our work together, we’ll explore how cultural, societal, and family messages around bodies have shaped the way you see yourself. Rather than striving for perfection or control, the focus is on developing a more compassionate and sustainable relationship with your body—one that feels less driven by external expectations and more aligned with your own values. https://www.jillianboelketherapy.com/lgbtq daily 0.75 2025-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d37945db0cbd40001d8ce46/bae6006d-56f8-4899-aa82-dff20d402e66/unsplash-image-epRlEd6oTmE.jpg LGBTQIA+ and Nonbinary Identity - LGBTQIA+ and Nonbinary Identity For many LGBTQIA+ and nonbinary individuals, identity is shaped by navigating families, communities, and systems that may not have fully seen, understood, or supported you. The strategies you developed to stay safe, loved, and accepted can become sources of conflict, exhaustion, or disconnection in adulthood. I am interested in understanding the unique path you’ve walked and exploring what you need now to feel grounded, affirmed, and whole. I work with LGBTQIA+ clients to move through internalized shame, strengthen self-acceptance, deepen identity exploration, and build relationships that honor authenticity and care. I also support adults who are questioning or discovering their sexuality or gender later in life. As someone who came into my bisexual identity in adulthood, I understand the complexity, confusion, and liberation that can arise in this process. Together, we can explore your sense of self with curiosity and compassion. https://www.jillianboelketherapy.com/trauma daily 0.75 2026-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d37945db0cbd40001d8ce46/1565976934782-SKUU57H7KAYFH6237P4N/image-asset.jpeg Trauma - Trauma Trauma isn’t always easy to identify. Sometimes it stems from a single, defining experience, and other times it develops through repeated moments that quietly overwhelm your sense of safety or stability. Over time, these experiences can shape how you relate to yourself, your body, and others—often in ways that are difficult to put into words. I approach trauma with an awareness of how identity, relationships, and broader social contexts can impact your nervous system and lived experience. In our work, we’ll gently explore how these experiences may be held in your body, influencing patterns around safety, trust, boundaries, and connection. Using a somatic, depth-oriented approach, we focus on helping your nervous system feel more regulated, while creating space for you to process what has been carried—often for a long time—on your own. As a survivor of sexual and relational trauma, I bring both clinical training and lived understanding to this work. My goal is to offer a space where you feel seen, believed, and supported as you begin to move out of survival patterns and toward a greater sense of safety, agency, and connection within yourself. https://www.jillianboelketherapy.com/eating-disorders daily 0.75 2026-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d37945db0cbd40001d8ce46/1565817347217-YA3W83Z30F7F6ZBRPBP2/image-asset.jpeg Eating Disorders - Eating Disorders Complicated relationships with food don’t come out of nowhere—they are shaped by the systems and stories we grow up in. Society has long dictated what bodies are deemed “acceptable,” and those messages are reinforced in media, healthcare, and everyday interactions. Families can also pass down beliefs about food, weight, and worth that were shaped by their own experiences of oppression, scarcity, or trauma. All of this can create painful disconnection from ourselves and our bodies. These forces often lead to guilt, shame, and rigid expectations that overshadow our ability to live in alignment with our true selves. I am committed to walking this path with you—exploring how behaviors like restricting, bingeing, or purging developed as coping strategies in response to harm, pressure, or survival needs. Together, we’ll work toward dismantling these internalized systems and cultivating a more compassionate, liberated, and nourishing relationship with food and with yourself. https://www.jillianboelketherapy.com/other daily 0.75 2025-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d37945db0cbd40001d8ce46/1565818013950-LX74W6DAIGGNKFIJGT0C/image-asset.jpeg Other - Other Areas of Exploration Other areas I can help you explore: Depression, Anxiety, Stress, Phase of Life Transitions, Grief and Loss, Family Issues, Self-Esteem, Shame, Relationships, Spirituality, Attachment, Perfectionism, Codependency, and Dating https://www.jillianboelketherapy.com/culture daily 0.75 2026-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d37945db0cbd40001d8ce46/1763680466148-R8E3GB6EDN7XVMIY15CS/unsplash-image-Iq11eskt5AQ.jpg Culture - Culture Our sense of self is shaped by the culture we live in. Sometimes certain cultural norms or expectations cease to serve us and there can be a tension between the culture we grew up, our family’s culture, and/or our changing identities. People living in the US are impacted by the past and current social and political climate. These factors can have a significant effect on our mental health and overall well-being. Common topics of exploration are: racial inequality and systemic racism, systemic sexism and misogyny, political and social inequality for LGBTQIA+ and gender fluid/non-binary individuals, immigrant experiences, inequitable health care, poverty and homelessness, mass shootings and acts of domestic terrorism, and environmental stress. Together, we will explore the emotional impact of these factors on your psyche and combat feelings of helplessness.. https://www.jillianboelketherapy.com/career-anxiety daily 0.75 2026-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d37945db0cbd40001d8ce46/1763678869921-EAREDUS8ZKJT3STJHGTA/unsplash-image-aJTiW00qqtI.jpg Career Anxiety - Career Anxiety You may be successful on paper—but still feel anxious, uncertain, or unfulfilled in your work. Many of my clients are navigating the pressure to constantly perform, produce, and define their worth through achievement. Over time, this can lead to burnout, self-doubt, or a sense of disconnection from what actually feels meaningful. In our work together, we’ll explore your relationship to success, ambition, and identity—how these patterns were shaped, how they’re showing up now, and what you truly want moving forward. The goal isn’t just to reduce anxiety, but to help you feel more grounded, aligned, and connected to a sense of purpose that feels like your own. https://www.jillianboelketherapy.com/resources daily 0.75 2025-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d37945db0cbd40001d8ce46/1573856660570-QR2XGD9NO7FWWUH18T7Z/image-asset.jpeg Resources https://www.jillianboelketherapy.com/creatives daily 0.75 2025-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d37945db0cbd40001d8ce46/1763678413262-9ZJ7H30LFVAJKV2SGSMQ/unsplash-image-rixN0q0IamQ.jpg Artists and Creatives - Artists and Creatives I love working with artists and creatives who move through the world with curiosity, sensitivity, and a deep desire to express themselves. Creative people often navigate unique challenges—perfectionism, self-doubt, burnout, identity exploration, and the emotional weight of turning inner experience into outward expression. Your art can be joyful and liberating, but it can also become tangled with pressure, criticism, or old narratives about worth and productivity. In our work together, I create space for both your creative spirit and your human complexity. I integrate Expressive Arts Therapy, inviting movement, imagery, sound, storytelling, and other creative modalities to help you access deeper layers of insight and healing. These approaches support you in exploring your emotional landscape, unlocking stuck places, reconnecting with play, and finding new ways to express what feels difficult to articulate.
