Recognized expertise in career identity and mental health

Our work explores the intersection of mental health, professional ambition, and career sustainability. We’ve been featured in Harvard Business Review, The Wall Street Journal, and Bloomberg for our insights on mental health in demanding industries.

Where our work is making an impact

Azimuth was founded to address the overlooked mental health challenges of high-achieving professionals. When Harvard Business Review published our piece on career enmeshment, it became one of their most-read articles, confirming what we already knew — professionals in high-pressure careers needed better support.

Since then, leaders across industries have sought our expertise. The need is clear, and we’re committed to helping shape the conversation. From anxiety and burnout to career identity and performance, we help professionals — and their families — navigate the psychological toll of ambitious careers.
