“Always be a first-rate version of yourself and not a second-rate version of someone else.”
Judy Garland
Moody, Anxious or Defeated?
Procrastinating, Crying Easily or Sleeping Too Much?
Wondering “What in the Heck is Wrong With Me?”
If you feel this way, you’re not alone. Many women struggle with these feelings. Society tells us we can “have it all”—devoted wives and mothers, successful professionals, selfless caretakers, committed activists, and fitness buffs—all at the same time. But the truth? Trying to do it all often leaves us overwhelmed, exhausted, and questioning ourselves.
Life throws curveballs—marriage, children, career changes, aging, illness, caregiving—twists and turns that can make you feel like you’re on a nonstop rollercoaster.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
Rather than striving to meet impossible, externally defined expectations, maybe it’s time to pause. Time to consider how you want to show up in the world. Time to create a life that feels meaningful, joyful, and aligned with your values.
Therapy can help.
Sometimes, the first step is simply having someone listen—deeply and without judgment. Someone to help you untangle the changes and challenges in your life, organize the swirling thoughts in your mind, and understand the emotions that weigh on your heart.
Together, we can work to calm your anxieties, boost your mood and energy, and develop practical steps to move you forward—toward a life that feels authentic, balanced, and fulfilling.
You deserve the space and support to become your best self. Reach out to get started.
Dr. Donna Carpenter works online in Austin and throughout Texas.
I’m Donna Carpenter, PhD. I’m a psychologist and I work with women to create lives of joy and purpose. I will help you identify your core values, develop effective coping strategies, and build resilience. Whether you’re facing professional challenges or trying to juggle family obligations, we’ll work to help you find your unique way of navigating them with confidence and clarity.
It’s possible to feel CALM, CONFIDENT, and COMPETENT! My approach helps you achieve this by helping you build a personalized toolkit for addressing with the thoughts, feelings and behaviors that aren’t working for you.
I have years of experience and an array of tools to help. Regardless of your situation, I’ll walk with you as you take steps toward a centered and personally meaningful life.
It can feel like a big step to call a therapist, but I strive to make it as stress-free as possible. We’ll spend 15 minutes on the phone in a no-obligation consultation, where I’ll let you know how or if I can help. If I’m not the right fit, I’ll gladly assist you in finding someone who can.
My specialties include:
Depression and Self-Doubt
Anxiety and Perfectionism
Career Stress
Aging and Eldercare
I look forward to hearing from you.
