Specialties
Your challenges aren't generic. Your therapy shouldn't be either.
We specialize in the psychological challenges that come with high-pressure careers. From burnout to identity enmeshment, we understand what you're facing.
Workplace Wellness
The path to alignment often starts with one pressing issue. We use Honest Iteration to reveal what's real about your situation and iterate toward solutions that fit your life and work.
Personal Development
Professional success often comes with personal costs. Research shows that high achievers experience unique patterns of self-doubt, relationship strain, and identity challenges. These aren't character flaws—they're predictable responses to extraordinary demands.
What makes specialized therapy different
Just as sports psychology addresses the unique needs of athletes, specialized therapy for high achievers recognizes that traditional approaches often miss the mark. It's not about working less or lowering standards—it's about sustainable excellence.
Context-specific treatment
Specialized therapy adapts evidence-based methods like CBT and ACT to the unique pressures of high-stakes careers, rather than applying generic stress management techniques.
Pattern recognition
Therapists trained in this area recognize common patterns—perfectionism, identity enmeshment, achievement addiction—allowing for faster identification and targeted intervention.
Practical integration
Solutions work within career constraints rather than against them. The goal isn't to work less but to work sustainably while maintaining excellence.
Normalization without minimization
Understanding that certain challenges are endemic to high-pressure roles helps reduce shame while still addressing real psychological impacts.
Why specialized care matters
Traditional therapy often approaches work stress as something to minimize. But for high achievers, work is central to identity and purpose. Specialized care understands this reality and works within it, rather than against it. The goal isn't to work less—it's to work sustainably while maintaining excellence.
