Feeling Drained Even Though You’re Doing Everything “Right”?

You’ve done everything you were supposed to do.
You built the career. You show up for everyone. You keep things moving.

And yet… something still feels off.

You can’t quite name it, but you know this isn’t how life is meant to feel.

I work with high-achieving, emotionally intelligent women and mothers who look capable on the outside, but feel stretched thin and disconnected on the inside — often without fully understanding why.

Many of my clients are:

Driven, thoughtful, and deeply responsible
The go-to person for family, work, and community
Used to pushing through discomfort rather than slowing down

And this season of life feels heavier than they expected.

When they first come to therapy, they’re often:

Exhausted from holding everything together for everyone else
Second-guessing decisions, even ones they used to feel confident about
Striving for perfection, yet feeling like they’re quietly falling short

They’re running on empty — disconnected from joy, operating on minimal bandwidth, and struggling to show up as the version of themselves they know exists underneath it all.

Over time, confidence erodes. Not because they aren’t capable — but because they’ve been living in a constant state of doing and self-monitoring.

Before starting therapy, many find themselves stuck in a cycle of overworking and burnout. They try making big changes — switching jobs, pushing harder, pulling back, starting over — only to realize the relief never lasts.

Deep down, they know no amount of rest, productivity, or “fixing” can soothe the persistent feeling of never being enough… or somehow being too much.

They feel guilty for wanting more ease when others have it worse.
They worry this level of stress might just be their normal.

But it doesn’t have to be.

You deserve to take up space in your own life — without guilt or apology.
You deserve to loosen the grip of constant control and meet life’s challenges with greater steadiness and calm.

Imagine feeling:

At peace with yourself and your decisions
Confident setting boundaries and honoring your needs
Capable of handling stress without burning yourself out

This work isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about helping your system feel safe enough to come back to you..

Whether through ongoing therapy or focused intensives, you can reclaim your peace and reconnect with yourself.

If you’re ready to break the cycle of overwhelm and live with more ease and intention, let’s make it happen together.

Meet Leighya

I’m Leighya Richard, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and founder of The Revive Wellness Group.

I specialize in trauma-informed therapy for high-achieving women and mothers — especially Black and Brown women — who are navigating anxiety, burnout, and birth-related trauma.

Many of the women who find their way here are used to being the capable one. The reliable one. The one who handles it all. From the outside, they appear steady and successful. Inside, they’re exhausted from carrying so much alone.

Therapy becomes the place where you don’t have to perform.

My work integrates Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic nervous system regulation to support deep, lasting healing — not just symptom relief. We focus on helping your system feel safe enough to soften, so change doesn’t require force.

I bring both clinical expertise and cultural attunement into this work. You won’t have to over-explain your ambition, your family dynamics, or the invisible pressures you carry.

My role isn’t to fix you.

It’s to help you reconnect with yourself — with steadiness, clarity, and compassion.

How Therapy Works Here

Many of the women who find their way here have already done a lot of insight work.

They understand why they feel the way they do — yet their body continues to react as if they’re under threat.

That’s because anxiety, burnout, and trauma don’t live only in the mind.

They live in the nervous system.

My approach is trauma-informed, somatic, and relational.

We work with both your internal world and your body’s responses, at a pace that supports safety rather than overwhelm.

The Foundations of the Work

A brain–body approach that helps process unresolved trauma and stress stored in the nervous system — without needing to relive everything.
A parts-based approach that helps you understand and soften the inner protectors driving overfunctioning, self-criticism, and control.
Practices that build capacity, increase emotional resilience, and help your system feel safe enough to settle.

What This Looks Like in Practice

Experiential rather than purely cognitive

Collaborative and paced, not rushed

Focused on regulation, integration, and self-trust

We’re not pushing you to “get over it” or perform healing the right way.

We’re listening to what your system has been carrying — and responding with compassion and steadiness.

This Approach Is a Good Fit If You…

Struggle to rest or slow down without guilt
Have a history of trauma, emotional neglect, or birth/medical trauma
Want depth-oriented healing rather than quick fixes
Feel stuck in overfunctioning or burnout
