About Aileen Delaney, MA, LPC-R


Do you feel like you’re always trying to get everything right, but it never feels like enough? Maybe you replay little mistakes long after everyone else has forgotten them. You worry about letting people down, so you say “yes” even when you’re exhausted. You spend so much time taking care of everyone else that you’re not sure what you need anymore.

Maybe your mind won’t slow down. You start one task, then another, and by the end of the day you wonder where the time went. Or you know exactly what you need to do, but getting started feels harder than it should.

If this sounds like you, you’re not lazy, broken, or failing. These patterns often grow from anxiety, ADHD, perfectionism, or early relationships that taught you to put everyone else’s needs before your own.

I’m Aileen Delaney, and I help teens and adults break free from these patterns so they can feel calmer, trust themselves more, and build healthier relationships.

Finding Relief From the Pressure


Imagine what life would feel like if you weren’t second-guessing yourself all the time.

Together, we’ll understand where these patterns come from and learn practical ways to quiet the self-criticism, manage anxiety, and handle life’s challenges with more confidence.

Therapy isn’t about being perfect. It’s about helping you feel more like yourself again.

Here's What We'll Focus On


  • Quieting the voice that tells you you’re never doing enough.
  • Letting go of perfectionism and impossible expectations.
  • Setting healthy boundaries without feeling guilty.
  • Learning strategies that work with your ADHD, not against it.
  • Healing old relationship patterns that still affect your life today.
  • Building confidence in yourself and your relationships.

Therapy Approaches


  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
  • Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Together, we’ll choose the approaches that best fit your goals and help you create meaningful, lasting change.

Why I Became a Therapist


I’ve always been interested in the stories people carry and how those stories shape the way they see themselves and the world around them.
Being a therapist allows me to help people move past self-doubt, heal from painful experiences, and build lives that feel calmer, healthier, and more connected.
It is a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they discover their own strength.
