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

How Therapy Helps

✔ Emotional regulation without losing your edge
✔ Burnout recovery that doesn’t require quitting
✔ Internal alignment that makes performance sustainable
✔ Confidence that isn’t compensating for something
✔ Clarity about what’s actually going on underneath

You Don’t Need to Fall Apart to Ask for Help

You just have to want something to change.

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.”
