Women's Therapy in Asheville, NC
You Don't Have to Hold It All Together Alone
When everyone depends on you, it's easy to lose sight of what you need. Therapy gives you space to breathe, process, and reconnect with yourself.
What Brings Women to Therapy
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, women are nearly twice as likely as men to be diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, and 1 in 5 women experience a major depressive episode at some point in their lives. You're far from alone in what you're feeling.
The Weight You Carry
- ✓ Anxiety that won't quiet down: racing thoughts, constant worry, trouble sleeping
- ✓ Burnout from managing everyone else's needs while neglecting your own
- ✓ Feeling like you should be handling everything better than you are
- ✓ Depression or low mood that makes it hard to feel like yourself
Life Transitions & Identity
- ✓ Navigating major life changes like career shifts, new roles, or relocation
- ✓ Struggling with perfectionism and the pressure to do it all
- ✓ Difficulty setting boundaries in relationships, work, or family
- ✓ Reconnecting with who you are beneath the roles you play
These experiences are real and valid. Therapy can help you work through them without adding another thing to your plate.
An Approach That Meets You Where You Are
Therapy shouldn't feel like one more obligation. It should feel like the one space where you can be honest about how you're really doing.
Compassionate and Non-Judgmental
There's no right or wrong way to feel. I create a space where you can let your guard down and explore what's actually going on, without the pressure to perform or minimize your experience.
Using CBT, IFS, and DBT to address the root patterns, not just the symptoms.
Calming the Inner Critic
That voice telling you you're not enough, not doing enough, not handling things well enough? We can work with it. Internal Family Systems (IFS) is particularly effective at helping you develop a new relationship with self-criticism.
Many women find IFS transformative for breaking cycles of people-pleasing and self-doubt.

About Tim Prokesch, LCSWA
I work with women who are navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, and the pressure of holding everything together. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based methods that actually work.
I specialize in helping clients identify the patterns (perfectionism, people-pleasing, self-criticism) that keep them stuck, and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.
