Book a Free ConsultationWhat Is Stress & Burnout Therapy?
Stress and burnout therapy addresses the toll of chronic overwork, overwhelm, or emotional depletion — whether it is coming from your job, caregiving, or simply carrying too much for too long.
Burnout isn't a personal failing or a sign you need to 'toughen up' — it's a predictable response to sustained pressure without enough recovery. This work focuses on both immediate relief and the deeper patterns that led here.
Sessions typically happen weekly, in 50-minute sessions, either in person in Brooklyn or online across New York.
Signs Burnout Support Might Help
Burnout often builds quietly before it becomes undeniable. You might be a fit for this work if:
Burnout rarely resolves with a vacation alone — it usually points to patterns worth understanding. Therapy makes room to slow down enough to see them.
Our Approach to Stress & Burnout
We combine practical, CBT and ACT-based tools for managing stress day-to-day with deeper exploration of the patterns — perfectionism, overfunctioning, difficulty saying no — that make burnout more likely.
The goal is not just to help you cope better with an unsustainable pace. It is to help you build a relationship with work and rest that actually holds up.

Isn't burnout just something I need to push through?
No — pushing through is usually what led here. Sustainable change requires addressing the underlying patterns, not just gritting your teeth harder.
Can therapy help if I can't change my job or workload right now?
Yes. While changing external circumstances can help, this work also focuses on your relationship to stress, boundaries, and rest — things within your control regardless of the job itself.
How is this different from general anxiety therapy?
There is overlap, but burnout work focuses specifically on chronic overextension and depletion, often tied to work or caregiving, rather than anxiety more broadly.
How long does this typically take?
Many clients see meaningful relief within a few months, especially when paired with concrete changes to boundaries and routines. Others continue longer to address root patterns.
Do you offer online sessions for this?
Yes — available anywhere in New York via secure video, which many clients managing demanding schedules prefer.
