Career, Purpose & Work-Life Balance

Common Concerns We Support

Career Stress, Burnout & Purpose Fatigue

High expectations. Endless to-do lists. And a deep, gnawing question: Is this even worth it? We support clients facing career burnout, work-related anxiety, and the emotional cost of success—while helping you reconnect with what fuels you.

Workplace Bias & Identity-Based Stress

You’re not imagining it. Gender, racial, and LGBTQ+ identity absolutely shape your workplace reality. We offer therapy for professionals navigating bias, microaggressions, and pressure to conform—supporting you with compassion and clarity.

Impostor Syndrome & Self-Doubt

“Am I actually good at this, or just winging it?” Whether you’re just starting out or managing a team, impostor syndrome can be loud. We help you unpack internalized expectations and move forward with confidence—not perfection.

Work-Life Balance (Especially for Working Moms)

Let’s be honest: the “balance” thing? It’s a myth most days. For working mothers and caregivers, boundaries blur fast—between bedtime stories and Zoom calls. Therapy helps you create more space for you, without guilt.

Neurodivergence at Work

When your brain doesn’t fit the corporate mold, the 9-to-5 can feel like a minefield. We support ADHD, Autism, and sensory-sensitive professionals navigating masking, burnout, and finding strength in difference.

Why Work Stress Hits Different…And What Your Nervous System Has to Say About It

Here’s a not-so-fun fact: Work stress isn’t just about deadlines and performance reviews—it’s about safety. Your nervous system is wired for survival, and in today’s world, survival is often tied to work. That’s why burnout isn’t just about being tired; it’s about your body sending out an SOS because it doesn’t feel safe to slow down.

From a psychotherapy perspective, work taps into deep attachment patterns. Ever notice how feedback from a boss can feel weirdly personal? Or how does impostor syndrome convince you that you’re one mistake away from being "found out"? That’s because workplaces, like families, have hierarchies, expectations, and (sometimes dysfunctional) dynamics that can activate old emotional patterns.

And if you’re navigating workplace bias, systemic barriers, or the mental gymnastics of masking neurodivergence, the stress isn’t just mental—it’s physiological. Your nervous system is working overtime, constantly assessing: Am I safe to be myself here? Do I belong? Is this sustainable?

Therapy won’t magically fix capitalism (we wish), but it can help you unpack these patterns, set boundaries that actually work, and redefine success on your own terms. Because you deserve more than just pushing through—you deserve a career (and a life) that doesn’t feel like an endurance test.
