Therapy for Burnout

Still performing—but it’s costing more than it used to.

What If Burnout Isn’t Obvious?

Not every burnout case looks like collapse.

For high achievers, burnout often shows up quietly:

• You’re still delivering—but the spark is gone

• You can’t shut your mind off, even after hours

• Vacations and weekends don’t refill your tank

• You swing between irritation, disconnection, and numbness

• You keep thinking: “This isn’t sustainable.”

This is therapy for people who didn’t think they’d ever need it.

The Burnout Loop

Many of our clients have built careers on grit, structure, and execution.

That system worked—until it didn’t.

Burnout happens when the external system keeps running but the internal one starts breaking down:

• You’re tired, but still showing up

• You’re successful, but less fulfilled

• You’re mentally sharp, but emotionally distant

• You’re good at the job—but not okay in it

This isn’t just stress.
It’s a misalignment between who you are, what you’re doing, and how long you’ve been holding it together.

Why Therapy—Not Coaching

Coaching helps you optimize. Therapy helps you recalibrate.

This isn’t about taking things off your plate.
It’s about changing how your mind, body, and nervous system process pressure.

In therapy, we help you:

• Regulate your nervous system—without numbing out

• Understand the emotional patterns behind overworking, guilt, and detachment

• Reconnect with your core motivations—without judgment

• Build internal capacity to rest without anxiety and work without burnout

• Start feeling like yourself again—not just your résumé

What Burnout Looks Like (in Real Life)

Heading Toward the Weeds

• Relationship tension and irritability

• Still performing, but less fulfilled

• Numbing with alcohol, work, or Netflix

• Quiet dread about the next season or quarter

• Resentment toward people who need things from you

Already in the Weeds

• Thoughts like “I could walk away and not care”

• Losing patience with your team, partner, or kids

• Substances to get through the day—or night

• Risky or out-of-character behavior

• Feeling like nothing is working, even though it “should” be

We meet you wherever you are—before it spirals, or once it already has.

What This Therapy Looks Like

This isn’t open-ended venting.
It’s structured, strategic, and rooted in proven methods:

• EMDR Therapy to calm your nervous system and resolve internal conflict

• Psychodynamic therapy to shift deep, longstanding patterns

• Goal-driven clarity so therapy feels like an investment—not a detour

We’ll go at a pace that works for your life—but challenge the pace that’s burning you out.

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.”
