The Unhappy Professional
Who We Help
We specialize in therapy for high-achieving professionals who are privately struggling with burnout, stress, or internal misalignment.
Most of our clients don’t come to therapy because of a breakdown.
They come because they’re tired of pretending.
You might be successful, respected, and highly capable—but, also:
Exhausted
Emotionally flat or reactive
Quietly anxious or disconnected
Overwhelmed but still high-performing
Unsure if therapy is even the right move—but curious
Who We Work With
Choose the path that fits your role—or the version of you behind it:
Executives
Strategic leaders managing teams, pressure, and emotional disconnection.
Lawyers
Attorneys who perform under pressure but feel increasingly hollow inside.
Physicians
Medical professionals holding it together while carrying everyone else’s pain.
Entrepreneurs
Founders who built it all—but now feel trapped in the very thing they created.
Creatives
High-sensitivity professionals stuck between inspiration and emotional overload.
What They All Have in Common
High-functioning on the outside
Overthinking or numbing on the inside
Used to solving problems—but this feels different
Private, emotionally avoidant, but willing to be honest
Looking for something more effective than just talking about stress

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.”
