Burnout Therapy For High-Achievers

Still performing, but it’s costing more than it used to?

What Burnout Looks Like (in Real Life)

It Starts As

• Relationship tension and irritability

• Still performing, but less fulfilled

• Numbing with alcohol, work, or Netflix

• Quiet dread about the next season or quarter

• Resentment toward people who need things from you

You're Really In It When

• Thoughts like “I could walk away and not care”

• Losing patience with your team, partner, or kids

• Substances to get through the day or night

• Risky or out-of-character behavior

• Feeling like nothing is working, even though it “should” be

Burnout Therapy Tailored for:

The Burnout Loop

Many of our clients have built careers on grit, structure, and execution.

That system works... until it doesn't.

Burnout happens when the external system keeps running but the internal one starts breaking down:

• You’re tired, but still showing up

• You’re successful, but less fulfilled

• You’re mentally sharp, but emotionally distant

• You’re good at the job, but not okay in it

This stress exposes a misalignment between who you are, what you’re doing, and how long you’ve been holding it together.

You've tried the fixes. Boundaries. Delegation. Vacations. Maybe even meditating in your car before walking into the office. It helps for a week. Then you're back to the same dread, the same exhaustion, the same quiet question of how long you can keep doing this.

That's because burnout isn't a scheduling or discipline problem. It's a nervous system problem. Your body learned to treat everything like a threat, and no amount of time management fixes that.

This work changes how you carry it, not just how you manage it.

Am I Really Burned Out?

Not every burnout case looks like collapse.

For high achievers, burnout often shows up quietly:

• You’re still delivering, but the spark is gone

• You can’t shut your mind off, even after hours

• Vacations and weekends don’t refill your tank

• You swing between irritation, disconnection, and numbness

• Deep down you know: “This isn’t sustainable.”

What Burnout Therapy Looks Like

This isn’t open-ended venting.
It’s structured, strategic, and rooted in proven methods:

• EMDR Therapy to calm your nervous system and resolve internal conflict

• Psychodynamic therapy to shift deep, longstanding patterns

• Goal-driven so you can see the progress of your hard work

We’ll go at a pace that works for your life but challenge the pace that’s burning you out.

• $250 per session

• Private-pay only (no insurance accepted)

• 30-minute consultation available — free, no pressure

• Virtual therapy in NY, VA, DC, CO, NC, TX and WA

Burnout doesn’t always look like collapse.

Sometimes it looks like quiet success while running on fumes.

What clients say:

“Zack was a patient and caring guide through a difficult time.

He provided a therapeutic relationship that offered a balance of support and challenge, helping me build a stronger foundation from which to live my life.

Through EMDR I was also able to travel to the root of many beliefs that were stifling my growth — making core changes to how I see myself and my world — opening up more love in all directions.

I’m grateful.”
