My Approach
Therapy for Professionals
Where do professionals go when they need help?
It might be generalized job stress from a highly demanding job or professional burnout. It might be normal transitional relationships, family issues, or more severe depression, anxiety, or substance abuse. Many professional and highly successful individuals are at risk as much (if not more!) as the general population for stress and mental health issues. Often, the demands of the type of work you do can make you even more vulnerable.
The expectations of our modern-day world with social media and constant comparisons are hard enough. Adding in a demanding and highly competitive job environment and being a high achiever can be a recipe for anxiety, stress, and burnout. Despite the amount of success professionally or financially, many successful people still end up feeling unhappy, unhealthy, and overly stressed. It is commonplace to see high functioning anxiety and perfectionism in individuals who work in the above professions. I can help you learn more about high functioning anxiety and how it may be contributing to you feeling drained, overwhelmed, and like no amount of success is enough.
Barriers to Treatment for Professionals
Acknowledging your need for help, especially if you work in a helping profession yourself, can be extremely difficult. Often highly successful professionals will push themselves to burnout before seeking help. Knowing you are seeing a therapist who understands your work environment's unique demands and pressures is essential in a successful treatment process. Reaching out for support early on is vital in avoiding burnout. Call me for a confidential 30-minute consultation to determine if I am the right fit for you.
Specialized Treatment for Professionals
You are successful because you are driven. You know what you want and how to achieve it. You are focused, determined, and passionate. But success doesn’t mean you are immune to depression, marital and parenting issues, or any of the other reasons people pursue therapy. In addition to the more common problems that often lead an individual to seek professional help, other issues are more unique to professionals, such as imposter syndrome, shadow reasons behind your driving force, fear of losing everything, alienation, and even guilt over your own success.
