For the Responsible Child Archetype: the high-achieving woman from Dallas to Fort Lauderdale (and beyond) who grew up too fast.

I once had a client tell me, “I’ve had therapists in the past, and even though I went through the whoooooole story, they never seemed to really understand me.” She was successful, fulfilled by her life without kids, yet beneath the high achievement, she wrestled with childfree anxiety and the persistent, nagging fear: Am I selfish for being childfree? 

The term ‘Childfree’ describes a conscious choice to not have children. ‘Childless,’ however, typically refers to an involuntary state of not having children, often due to circumstances like infertility or loss. Both paths involve complex and intense emotions—from profound grief and societal pressure to empowerment and boundary-setting—that specialized therapy can help you address with clarity and compassion.
