AS SEEN ON
You know you can’t keep going like this, not speaking up or saying no. But each time you want to share your truth, you get really scared and stay quiet. Again.
You beat yourself up for being a doormat, but you honestly don’t know how to do things differently.
It’s not your fault that you’re stuck.
Of course you want to feel more confident and say what’s really on your mind. But no one has shown you how to do that yet.
Now I am here for you…
I am a licensed clinical psychologist at Stanford University, and I specialize in helping people learn the skills they need to overcome people-pleasing and get more of what they want in their lives.
Most individuals who struggle with people-pleasing are trying to figure out questions like:
- Why is it so hard for me to speak up?
- How can I get over anxiety about saying no?
- Can I be assertive and nice at the same time?
- How do “normal” people say no?
- Will asking for what I want ruin my relationships?
- How can I feel better about myself?

HI, MY NAME IS
Dr. Katie Fracalanza
I’m so excited that you’re considering letting go of your people-pleasing.
I’m a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in people-pleasing, fear of judgment, anxiety, and self-compassion. I work as a Clinical Assistant Professor at Stanford University where I conduct research related to optimizing treatments for anxiety and train other providers in how to provide the most helpful therapies possible. I have been offering therapy to help individuals overcome struggles like people-pleasing for more than 10 years, and now have my own private clinic where I train other therapists in how to offer gold-standard psychotherapy.
One of my passions is finding new and unique ways to get therapies that work into the hands of people who need them. That’s why I’ve created this course. Since I’m just one person, I can only provide therapy to a small number of people at a time. I don’t want you to have to sit on a long waitlist to learn the skills and strategies that you need to break free from people-pleasing now!
As an alternative to waitlists and expensive therapy that can go on for years, I’ve developed an 8-module online program that walks you through the core strategies you need to understand how people-pleasing started and keeps going in your life, shed unhelpful assumptions, learn how to make requests and say no, and develop a compassionate connection with yourself and others. Completing this program will give you the tools you need to reconnect with your true self, speak up for what you want, and say no effectively at a fraction of the cost of individual or group therapy. You can have the roadmap now.
Why do I care so much about helping people achieve freedom from people-pleasing?
✳︎
Because people-pleasing was the struggle that plagued me for years. As a young person, I lived a life that didn’t fit me at all, because I was too afraid to disappoint others or say no. I was working in accounting (not my main area of interest), spending time with people who I didn’t really relate to, and filling my days doing things for others that weren’t in line with my genuine self. I felt small, unseen, and unfulfilled.
You too? I understand! As a person and as a clinical psychologist. Over the past 2 decades, in the process of breaking free of my own people-pleasing, I have learned many lessons the hard way. I have trial-and-errored almost every approach under the sun, and I know what worked for me and the hundreds of people I’ve helped as a therapist.
You don’t need to waste your time spinning your wheels on solutions that are not targeted or effective. Because of what I’ve been through personally, combined with my professional training, I know exactly what is needed to unearth the people-pleasing pattern so you get real results quickly. It comes from: a) a solid understanding of what’s going on for you, b) guidance on what specific ways of thinking and acting to change to get unstuck, c) help with how to tolerate difficult emotions, d) direction in how to talk to others effectively, and e) direction in how to be compassionate with yourself.
I know that anyone who is committed to letting go of people-pleasing can do it with the right knowledge and guidance. People-pleasing is a learned behavior. People-pleasing can be unlearned. I want to show you exactly how. You deserve the life you want, and it can be yours. It does require courage, trying new things, and trusting yourself. If you can lean into these, it’s your time to transform. Take the leap with me!
Katie is a wonderful teacher and has expertise in the treatment of anxiety and OCD through exposure, acceptance-based strategies, and self-compassion. Her style as a teacher is thoughtful, warm, and clear, all qualities that lend themselves nicely to self-compassion work. She tends to use examples to make content more relatable and easily digestible. Katie was extremely influential in my development as a therapist and a person more broadly, and I would highly recommend her.
