Addyson (Addie) Stipp

You have been told, directly or indirectly, that you are a lot — too sensitive, too intense, too much to deal with. You feel misunderstood and different from others around you. So you soften your reactions, mask the parts that feel like too much, and stay quiet when you want to take up more space. In here, you do not have to do that. In here, you get to embrace your own kind of normal — identity, sexuality, culture, neurodivergence, and anything in between. Bed rotting, snacks, and pets are not just welcome, they are encouraged! I'm EMDR-trained and addiction-informed. This work isn't about "fixing" you-it's about understanding how your brain, nervous system, identity, and lived experiences intersect. We focus on regulation, boundaries, self-trust, and practical tools that support real life. You learned early that certain parts of you made other people uncomfortable. So you got good at managing that, at dimming, translating, and performing a version of yourself that was easier to be around. You are still doing it. And you are tired. You do not have to have it all figured out before you reach out — Send me an email and we will take it from there! In my spare time… I root for LSU — Sorry, AR, you can’t take the LA out of me! I’m a crazy dog & cat mom. I enjoy cooking & baking but my guilty pleasure is napping between binge watching reality tv & true crime. When I get bored with being a couch potato you can find me at concerts/music festivals & traveling. For me, those are the best ways to boost dopamine!
