But lately, you’re exhausted. You overcommit, hold it together in public, and then feel frustrated or resentful in private.
You don’t need to become a different person. You just need tools that let you communicate clearly, protect your energy, and still show up for the people and work you care about.
That’s where Boundaries and Communication Counseling at Outside Therapy comes in.
Healthy boundaries aren’t walls — they’re clarity.
They help you define what’s okay, what’s not, and how you want to be treated.
Without them, relationships (personal or professional) can become confusing, draining, or one-sided.
Common signs that boundaries need work:
You say “yes” when you want to say “no”
You take responsibility for other people’s emotions
You avoid conflict but feel resentful afterward
You’re always “on,” even when you need rest
You feel guilty when you prioritize yourself
You worry others will be angry if you speak up
If you recognize these patterns, it’s not about weakness — it’s about learned habits that can be unlearned.
Good communication isn’t about talking more — it’s about listening differently, expressing clearly, and staying calm under pressure.
Through therapy, you’ll learn how to:
Identify your communication style and how it affects others
Speak assertively without being harsh
Stay present during difficult conversations
Express needs, limits, and emotions clearly
Navigate family, work, or relationship conflicts confidently
When communication and boundaries work together, you stop feeling reactive and start feeling in control.
We use a combination of evidence-based methods that teach emotional intelligence and interpersonal effectiveness:
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): for emotional regulation and assertive communication.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): for values-based decision-making and self-respect.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): for reframing guilt or people-pleasing thought patterns.
Positive Psychology: for building confidence and healthy self-esteem.
Sessions are collaborative, practical, and focused on skills you can use immediately.
You’ll leave each appointment with tools to apply at work, at home, and in your relationships.
Boundaries and communication work isn’t about perfection — it’s about consistency.
Over time, you’ll notice shifts like:
Feeling more grounded in conversations
Being able to say “no” without guilt
Handling criticism or conflict calmly
Experiencing mutual respect in relationships
Enjoying more energy and peace of mind
Healthy boundaries don’t push people away — they create relationships built on mutual trust and understanding.
This type of therapy is ideal for:
Professionals or caretakers who feel overextended
Parents, partners, or leaders who struggle with burnout
People recovering from trauma or codependent dynamics
Anyone wanting stronger communication and self-respect
Sessions are available in person in Cheyenne and online statewide via telehealth.
Our therapists understand what it’s like to balance compassion, responsibility, and exhaustion.
We help you set boundaries that don’t make you “selfish” — they make you sustainable.
Because when you stop overextending yourself, everything else — your work, your health, your relationships — starts to thrive.
