“Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we’re supposed to be and embracing who we are. Choosing authenticity means cultivating the courage to be imperfect.”
Owner and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor
September Prushek, MS, LPCC
Hi ya’ll! I’m September, the owner and sole operator of Inner Wisdom Psychotherapy. I identify as a compassionate and authentic clinician who approaches each session with a strengths-based and client-centered approach. Clients have often described me as creating an open and warm atmosphere to share their unique stories. But fear not! Expect delicate and challenging nudges toward personal awareness and growth intertwined throughout the therapeutic experience. I believe each individual has an inner wisdom and intuition, and with the support of the therapeutic relationship, can create space to tap into this knowledge of self, connection with others, and meaning within the world.
I work with adult individuals and couples age 18+ as well as facilitate group therapy sessions. My therapy specialties include self-esteem, trauma, women’s issues, codependency and relationship concerns, and coping skills. I am trained in Brainspotting (a form of trauma processing), AIR Network (dissociation and parts work), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, trauma-informed yoga, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, somatic interventions, and mindfulness practices.

More about my approach…
Personal growth and healing is far from a linear process. This internal work deserves space, compassion, and curiosity along with the understanding that there will be ebbs and flows in our journeys. This is healthy and normal! I approach each session from the lens that the client is the master of their internal world, and I am simply meeting each person at their current capacity to gently guide them toward resolution. In the therapeutic relationship, I value client feedback, open dialogue with concerns that may arise, the collaboration of working toward client goals, and pivoting the direction of therapy if something isn’t working.
Practicing authenticity
Have you ever met someone who you automatically felt safe with? Someone who calmed your nervous system and felt you could completely be yourself around? Chances are this person was connecting with you from a place of authenticity. When we show up authentically and hold space for others to be their authentic selves, true meaningful relationships form. Whether in an individual, couples, or group session format, as your therapist I show up from a place of genuine care and compassion to better embody an atmosphere where clients feel comfortable to do the same. This may look like practicing vulnerability, appropriate self-disclosure, honesty, and cracking a joke or two! When practicing authenticity in a safe environment, clients are then able to transfer this authenticity outside of session for a more fulfilling life.
