You've been the overachiever. The one who compensates. The person everyone thinks "has it together." But inside? Your mind never stops.
- Tasks pile up faster than you can organize them.
- Deadlines appear out of nowhere.
- You're constantly apologizing for being late and forgetting things.
You work twice as hard as everyone around you just to keep up, anxiety hums in the background, and you’re overthinking everything.
Why is it so hard for you when it seems easy for everyone else?
The appointments felt rushed. You left with a prescription and zero conversation about what's going on in your life.
Or maybe you haven't reached out yet because you're terrified of being dismissed and hearing "everyone feels that way" or "just try harder."
Here's what I need you to know: There's nothing wrong with you.
Your brain isn't broken. You're not lazy. You're not failing. You've been trying to function in systems that were never designed to support how your mind works.
You've Been Working 10x Harder Just to Keep Up…And You're Exhausted.
Anissa Womack, PMHNP-BC, FMACP
The pressure to do it all, to keep everything together, to show up and push through no matter what—it can be emotionally exhausting.
For years, I lived with uncontrolled ADHD, anxiety, and depression.
I needed help but couldn't find a provider who would slow down long enough to actually understand me. Appointments were short. My questions went unanswered. I felt I had to figure it out on my own, which is why I practice differently.
Because you deserve more than assembly-line medicine.
You deserve someone who listens for more than 15 minutes, explores your options with you, and who understands that ADHD exists outside of a textbook definition. It affects your sleep, your relationships, your confidence, your entire life.
As a therapist who values compassionate, engaging client care, Anissa is one of the first prescribers I think of! On top of her care, she is collaborative with other providers, truly demonstrating her quality in the care and services she offers
"Anissa was an incredible help during a rough patch in life. She took the time to explain everything in a way that was reassuring to me. Her guidance gave me the confidence to pick myself back up. She even helped me to find a therapist. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking compassionate care."
"I met Anissa through a mutual colleague, and she radiated nothing but sunshine. She takes the time to form genuine connections with others in her community and provides a very important, needed service in mental health."
