Therapy for Professional Stress
Over the course of my own career, I’ve worked in a wide range of environments - including small niche professional industries, large corporations, bureaucratic hospitals, and even my own group practice, where I had a variety of responsibilities related to being an entrepreneur and employer. I completed Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses to deepen my understanding of the business world.
My personal experiences and that of providing therapy to hundreds of professionals across a variety of fields, have given me a real passion for understanding the intersection of the personal and the professional - the ways our identities can become intertwined with what we do, and how things can go very wrong when work or home life is out of balance.
Therapeutic Approaches to Managing Professional Stress
In our work together, I’ll use a combination of evidence-based therapies tailored to your unique experience of professional stress.
Psychodynamic Therapy: This approach allows us to uncover deep-seated beliefs, past experiences, and unconscious patterns that may be contributing to your stress and challenges in workplace relationships.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helping you identify and challenge negative thought patterns that contribute to stress, while learning more constructive ways to manage pressure and problem-solving.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Teaching skills to regulate emotions, tolerate distress, and stay grounded during stressful work situations.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Focusing on acceptance of stressful circumstances while helping you live in alignment with your values, ensuring that your career choices and actions are in harmony with your well-being.
Mindfulness Practices: Cultivating presence and self-awareness to reduce the impact of stress, break the cycle of rumination, and increase emotional resilience in the workplace.
How Therapy Can Help You Manage Professional Stress
When your work becomes so closely tied to your sense of identity, it can feel as though your stress is an inevitable part of who you are.
Therapy offers the opportunity to separate your value from your job performance, build healthier boundaries, and rediscover who you are outside of your work. Together, we’ll explore the underlying sources of your stress, implement practical stress-management strategies, and empower you to approach your career with clarity and emotional balance.
