The Idea: Therapy as Strategy

“Therapy for leaders is no longer a stigma—it’s a strategy.”

Signs It’s Time to Talk

  • You’re mentally and emotionally exhausted

  • You can’t relax without guilt

  • You’re short with people—or disconnected from them entirely

  • You’re successful, but it doesn’t feel like it

  • You’re constantly in your head: overthinking, second-guessing

  • You feel stuck but can’t explain why

Our Claim:

We help high-achieving professionals succeed by becoming authentic.
When they stop living behind armor, their work and relationships come alive.

How Therapy Helps

  • Regain clarity, energy, and emotional bandwidth

  • Improve focus, decision-making, and internal calm

  • Reduce burnout symptoms without losing your drive

  • Break unhelpful mental loops that keep you stuck

  • Process what’s underneath without falling apart

  • Feel like yourself again—without faking it

Why Therapy (Not Coaching)

Therapy

  • Focuses on what’s blocking you

  • Works on underlying beliefs & trauma

  • Helps release pressure

  • Internal alignment

Coaching

  • Focuses on goals and structure

  • Works on behavior

  • Can increase pressure

  • External accountability

If coaching hasn’t worked—or hasn’t been enough—therapy might be what’s next.

What clients say:

“Zack was a patient and caring guide through a difficult time.

He provided a therapeutic relationship that offered a balance of support and challenge, helping me build a stronger foundation from which to live my life.

Through EMDR I was also able to travel to the root of many beliefs that were stifling my growth — making core changes to how I see myself and my world — opening up more love in all directions.

I’m grateful.”
