You’re not broken. You’re just tired of pretending
You’ve spent your whole life trying to be the version of you that makes other people more comfortable.
The “put-together” one your family shows off, and then picks apart behind your back.
The “normal” one your church doesn't ask too many questions about.
The “reliable” one at work who keeps pushing through, even when the job is bleeding you dry.
But you’re not that person.
You’re the one who dreads family dinners because they always turn into interrogations.
The one who scrolls past art schools and acting classes wondering if you missed your chance.
The one who just wants to live honestly, without justifying every choice.
And lately, the mask is slipping.
You’re exhausted, anxious, and overthinking every text you send.
You’ve got dreams that feel too far away, and a life that doesn’t feel like it’s yours.
You're tired of feeling judged just for existing the way you do.
You’re not asking for the world. You just want to feel like yourself again. No masks. No apologies. Just you.
Therapy can help with that.
I'm Steven Mollura, the therapist who brings enlightenment by exploring the darkness. Together we face what you fear most, reclaim wholeness, and step fully into truth. Direct, no-nonsense mental health service that helps you break free from limiting beliefs and step into the life you deserve.
This isn’t about managing symptoms. It’s about ending the war inside you. For those who want peace within and without.
If you are looking for someone to hold your hand while you let the world beat you to death, look elsewhere. I'm not for you. If you're ready to walk into hell, I'm ready to walk right next to you.
The first step is yours. Are you coming?

This might be the right place for you if:
You’re stuck between who you really are and who you were told you should be.
You’re done going to family functions where you are quietly judged or loudly criticized.
You keep telling yourself “it’s fine” about your job, your relationships, your future, when everything in your soul is screaming that it’s really not fine.
You feel judged for your desires, your dreams, your choices, by people who are supposed to love you.
You don’t want to justify or explain the shame and fear. You want someone who gets it, without needing an autobiography.
You’ve always been the “weird one,” the “black sheep,” the “one who never fit the mold.” And you are ready to never apologize for that again.
What brings people like you to therapy (in their own words):
“I feel like I’m wasting my life at this job that doesn’t even reflect who I am.”
“I can’t tell if I’m depressed or just burnt out from pretending all the time.”
“I want to pursue something creative, but I’m scared I’ll fail. And worse that I’ll disappoint everyone.”
“I keep choosing people who don’t choose me back.”
“I wish I could just exist without so much guilt.”
“I don’t know what’s wrong with me. Why can’t I just be ‘normal’?”
“Every part of my identity feels like a reason someone will reject me.”
“I want to believe there’s a future that actually fits me.”
Here’s what we focus on in therapy:
Dismantling the shame and guilt that was dumped on you and was never yours to carry.
Creating space to explore your identity, dreams, and relationships without judgment.
Working through the anxiety, burnout, and emotional exhaustion that come from always performing, and never belonging.
Helping you feel less stuck, more certain, more you.
Building coping strategies that don’t require you to hide or shrink.
You don’t need to have it all figured out before you reach out.
Whether you’re ready to start therapy or just curious if it could help, you’re welcome here.
