Is Burnout Therapy Right For You?

This service is for individuals who feel emotionally exhausted, overwhelmed, or disconnected due to career pressure. You may feel stuck between high expectations and constant self-doubt, unsure how to slow down without falling behind. If your job is beginning to affect your mental health, relationships, or self-worth, therapy can provide the space you need to breathe.

Burnout often manifests as chronic fatigue, irritability, and difficulty turning your mind off. You might struggle with imposter syndrome, people-pleasing at work, or a paralyzing fear of disappointing others. Over time, these patterns can lead to emotional numbness and a loss of direction.

Our Approach to Sustainable Success

At ROH Counseling, we focus on helping you build sustainable coping strategies—not just pushing you to “work harder".

  • Evidence-Based Care: I integrate CBT, EMDR theraepy, and mindfulness to help you understand how work stress interacts with perfectionism and self-worth.
  • A Space to Unpack: Sessions offer a supportive environment to explore your relationship with productivity and identify patterns that keep you exhausted.
  • Practical Tools: Together, we work on boundary-setting, stress regulation, and values-based decision-making.
  • Career Exploration: If you no longer feel fulfilled, we can explore other career opportunities that may better ignite your passion.
  • Specialized Expertise: We specialize in supporting high-achieving young women navigating the high-stakes pressure of their 20s.

Outcomes of Career-Focused Therapy

  • Reduced Overwhelm: Feeling more emotionally grounded and less reactive to work triggers.
  • Stronger Boundaries: Improved ability to manage time, energy, and expectations without guilt.
  • Greater Confidence: Reduced imposter syndrome and clarity around professional goals.
  • Renewed Motivation: Finding energy for work without the constant weight of pressure.

How long does it take for burnout therapy to show results?

The length of your care depends on your specific goals and the intensity of the stress you are experiencing. While many people notice a reduction in exhaustion and improved mental clarity within a few months, others benefit from ongoing support to maintain healthy boundaries and prevent future work-related stress.

Can therapy help me manage imposter syndrome and work anxiety?

Yes, therapy is highly effective for addressing the root causes of imposter syndrome and work-related anxiety. At Ray of Hope Counseling, we use tools like CBT and EMDR to help you untie your self-worth from your productivity so you can feel more confident in your professional role.

Will I have to quit my job if I start therapy for burnout?

Not necessarily. Therapy is about gaining clarity and exploring your options, not forcing major life moves. Many clients find they can make meaningful changes to their daily habits and professional boundaries to find relief without making a drastic career move.

Is burnout really something that professional therapy can help with?

Yes, because burnout is often connected to deep-seated patterns around perfectionism, people-pleasing, and chronic stress. By addressing these root causes, therapy helps you find sustainable relief that lasts longer than a simple break or vacation.

What if I have never done therapy before and feel overwhelmed by my career?

That is completely okay, as many professionals begin their journey during periods of intense work stress. Our sessions are structured, supportive, and paced to meet you exactly where you are, helping you feel empowered rather than more pressured.
