RECLAIM YOUR IDENTITY. REBUILD YOUR BOUNDARIES.
Society trains women to soften, shrink, and prioritize everyone else's needs above their own. You may have been conditioned to believe that setting boundaries is selfish, and that your worth is tied to what you look like, what you produce, or how much you can sacrifice. The result of that is chronic burnout, a lost sense of identity, and a profound, silent exhaustion of your nervous system.
Therapy with Auria Zahed, LMFT, is your clinical sanctuary to break the cycle of self-sacrifice, unlearn the guilt, and step into your power.
CLINICAL AREAS OF FOCUS
Narcissistic abuse is rarely a single, catastrophic event; it is "death by a thousand cuts". It is a slow, methodical erosion of your identity, filled with persistent gaslighting and transactional affection that leaves you questioning your own sanity. Auria specializes in untangling this psychological manipulation, helping you process deep relational wounds, and safely restoring your emotional boundaries.
NARCISSISTIC ABUSE RECOVERY
If you have been conditioned to tie your worth to how much you can do for others, setting boundaries can feel terrifying. We will do the deep work to identify your true values, unlearn codependent and anxious-attachment patterns, and build the fierce, uncompromised boundaries required to protect your peace with purpose.
RECOVERING PEOPLE-PLEASERS
We live in a culture that too often treats humans like machines, demanding endless productivity while ignoring our basic biological needs for rest and safety. If you are carrying the mental load at home while battling the "male as default" corporate treadmill, therapy can help you reclaim your time, redefine success on your own terms, and safely step out of the grind.
CORPORATE BURN OUT
Physical movement is deeply tied to mental health, nervous system safety, and emotional boundaries. That is why we provide a coordinated somatic strength and mental health framework: Body by Bethany, Mind by Auria.
INTEGRATED CARE. UNCOMPROMISED BOUNDARIES.
THE COMPATIBILITY CHECK
To protect the emotional safety of our space and ensure our Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), Auria Zahed, has maximum therapeutic capacity for her clients, we do not accept direct, unscreened bookings for psychotherapy.
Every prospective client starts with our founder and Exercise Physiologist, Bethany Busch (MS, CSCS), for an initial Somatic & Strength Compatibility Check via a 30-Minute Screen ($97) or 90-Minute Screen ($399).
During this initial screen, Bethany will evaluate your movement baseline, review your physical history, assess your system's current stress threshold, and ensure our non-diet, joint-safe culture aligns with your physical goals. If a collaborative, body-and-mind care plan is needed, Bethany will coordinate your physical profile and refer you directly into Auria’s private therapy caseload.
