Where Psychology Meets Money - And You Finally Start Feeling in Control

You’re smart. You’re capable. But when it comes to money? It feels like quicksand.

Money Isn’t the Problem. But It’s Driving Everything.

You’re not bad with money. You’re busy, overwhelmed, and exhausted from trying to manage it all—savings, spending, student loans, retirement, debt, kids’ needs, aging parents, unexpected emergencies… and the emotional storm that comes with it.

You’ve tried spreadsheets. Budgeting apps. Maybe even a financial advisor.

But no one’s helped you unpack:

  • Why you feel so much shame around spending

  • Why financial decisions trigger guilt, conflict, or paralysis

  • Why you and your partner cannot seem to get on the same financial page

  • Why “just stick to a budget” has never worked for you long-term

HOW FINANCIAL THERAPY WORKS

Financial Therapy Helps You Untangle the Emotions Driving Your Money Habits

At Reclaim Mental Wellness, we take a behavioral and relational approach to money - because your financial patterns are never just about dollars and cents. They’re about identity, safety, power, legacy, survival, and self-worth.

Using evidence-based methods grounded in the Financial Social Work model, CBT, interpersonal neurobiology, and couples therapy frameworks, financial therapy helps you:

  • Understand the emotional roots of your money behaviors

  • Build healthier money habits based on your values and goals - not fear or avoidance

  • Break cycles of overspending, under-earning, self-sabotage, or money hoarding

  • Reduce shame, guilt, or anxiety around your financial past

  • Improve communication and collaboration in financial relationships

Whether you're navigating finances solo, as a couple, or as part of a family system, I help you rewrite your financial story -with both insight and structure.

Financial therapy can help you…

Shift from avoidance to action—finally opening the mail, checking your accounts, and making informed decisions

  • Stop the cycle of shame, blame, and secrecy that keeps money a source of tension and silence

  • Understand how your family, trauma, or culture shaped your relationship with money—and what you want to do differently

  • Clarify your financial goals and take steps aligned with your long-term vision, not short-term emotion

  • Learn tools for financial communication—especially in couples, co-parenting, or caregiving relationships

This isn’t financial advice. It’s therapy that makes financial change sustainable, because it works from the inside out.
