“By the end of the day, I have nothing left.”
Therapy for stress and burnout
Stress can pile up until it follows you to bed and spills over at home. When it goes on for months, it can turn into burnout. Therapy can help you sort out what's draining you and what you can change, at work and outside it.
What it can feel like
- You check work email in bed, then again before you're up.
- Sunday night feels heavy before the week even starts.
- Your shoulders stay tight, even on a day off.
- You can't remember the last time you did something for fun.
- You're good at your job and still dread going in.
How therapy can help
Therapy for stress often starts with a look at where your time and energy go, and what keeps you from resting. Some of the work is practical, like setting limits at work or getting ready for a hard talk with a manager.
You decide what to focus on. For some people it's a career change they're weighing. For others it's learning to rest without feeling guilty. Your therapist can help you see what's in your control and let go of some of what isn't.

Questions people ask
Is burnout a good enough reason to see a therapist?
Yes. You don't need a diagnosis to start. If stress is wearing you down or spilling into your health or home life, that's enough.
Can therapy help with work and career questions?
Yes. People bring all kinds of work stress: a difficult boss, too much on their plate, a job they've outgrown or a career change they're nervous to make.
What if I can't change my job right now?
That's true for a lot of people. Therapy can still help with how you handle the pressure and how you recover after work.
The first step is a phone call or a short form.
You don't need the right words. We'll take it from there, and you can switch therapists any time it doesn't fit.
