Therapy for Founders, Executives & High Achievers

Burnout Therapy

High-performing leaders often don’t realize they’re burned out because they’re still producing. Do you struggle to come down after an intense meeting? Feel wired but exhausted? Lose creativity or patience at home? Founder burnout can look like irritability, sleep disruption, emotional withdrawal, or relying on productivity to feel steady. Therapy helps regulate your nervous system, restore clarity, and build sustainable success without sacrificing your health or relationships.

High-Functioning Anxiety & Overthinking

Do you lie awake at night wondering what it will take to get your company to the next level? Replay conversations in your head? Feel restless when you’re not optimizing something? High-achieving professionals often live in a state of mental scanning and pressure. Therapy helps you quiet the internal intensity, reduce anxiety, and develop tools to shift out of performance mode when the day is done.

Stress & Nervous System Regulation for Executives

After high-stakes meetings or investor calls, does your body stay activated for hours? Racing heart, difficulty relaxing ? Leadership requires intensity  but your nervous system needs help downshifting. In therapy, we work on practical regulation strategies and deeper emotional awareness so your body can recover from chronic stress.

Identity & Achievement Work

When achievement slows, does your sense of worth dip with it? Many founders fuse identity with performance. Success becomes armor against doubt or vulnerability. Therapy offers space to explore who you are beyond your company, untangle self-worth from productivity, and develop a more grounded, sustainable internal confidence.

Leadership & Emotional Intelligence

You know how to solve complex business problems but emotional dynamics are different. Therapy strengthens emotional intelligence, conflict navigation, boundary-setting, and sustainable leadership habits. This isn’t business coaching, it is deeper work that strengthens how you lead by strengthening how you relate.

Performance Pressure & Isolation at the Top

Leadership can be lonely. You carry vision, financial responsibility, and risk often without a space to process fear or uncertainty. Therapy becomes a confidential space where you don’t have to perform, impress, or have the answers.
