Hello! My name is Ainsley Rager. Welcome to True to You Counseling, LLC. My approach focuses on being true to YOU and addressing your unique needs!

Are you feeling stuck in a cycle of anxiety, overthinking, or low self-esteem? Do you constantly second-guess yourself or feel like you're not “good enough”? Are you often in one-sided or emotionally draining relationships?
Maybe you hide your true feelings behind a mask, afraid that being your authentic self feels too risky.

In therapy, we’ll work together to gently explore your story, especially the parts that may have felt too heavy, confusing, or painful to face alone. I’ll support you in building self-trust, increasing emotional awareness, and creating healthier patterns in your relationships with others and within yourself.

You'll learn practical coping tools, deepen your self-understanding, and develop confidence rooted in your authentic values. Whether you're navigating anxiety, low self-worth, or people-pleasing tendencies, our work will focus on helping you feel more grounded, empowered, and connected to who you truly are.

You don’t have to face this alone. If anxiety, self-doubt, or stress feels overwhelming, I’m here to support you as you move toward greater clarity, confidence, and balance.
