Work Stress + Burnout
Work can be an important source of meaning, identity, and pride. Many of our clients are dedicated, ambitious professionals who care deeply about their careers and hold themselves to high standards. But when pressure builds, expectations rise, or the demands of work start to eclipse the rest of your life, you may begin to feel overwhelmed, depleted, or disconnected from yourself. Burnout can show up gradually: exhaustion that does not improve with rest, trouble focusing, irritability, cynicism, or a loss of motivation that feels unfamiliar. You may still be performing at a high level, but privately feel like you’re running on fumes.
Therapy offers a space to understand what is fueling your stress, where your limits are being stretched, and how to make choices that align with your well-being instead of working against it. You do not need to sacrifice your ambition to feel grounded, energized, and balanced. With support, it is possible to reconnect with your values, set boundaries confidently, and build a life that honors both your goals and your health.
What you can explore and strengthen in therapy:
Clarifying the sources of your stress and how they impact your mood, focus, and relationships
Understanding how perfectionism, pressure, or identity tied to achievement may be influencing burnout
Developing coping strategies to reduce overwhelm and restore energy
Practicing effective boundaries that protect your time and emotional capacity
Building a sustainable rhythm that supports both your performance and your overall well-being
