Chronic Stress and Burnout

Chronic stress and burnout can build slowly over time, often showing up as constant overwhelm, emotional exhaustion, irritability, trouble concentrating, or feeling detached from work, relationships, or yourself. Many people seek therapy when stress has become unmanageable or when they notice physical symptoms like fatigue, headaches, or difficulty sleeping. In therapy, we work to understand the root causes of your burnout and how long-term stress has affected your mood, nervous system, and overall well-being.

Treatment for chronic stress and burnout may include learning evidence-based stress management skills, rebuilding healthy boundaries, and developing daily routines that support rest and emotional balance. Together, we explore patterns of overcommitment, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or workplace pressures that contribute to burnout. We also integrate tools for nervous system regulation, mindfulness, pacing, and realistic self-care that goes beyond quick fixes.

Therapy provides a supportive space to slow down, decompress, and reconnect with what you truly need. Clients often work on restoring energy, rebuilding coping skills, increasing resilience, and creating sustainable habits that prevent burnout from returning.
