Counseling for Burnout & Work Stress
Do You Feel Like You're Running on Empty, but Can’t Afford to Slow Down?
Do you feel pressure to power through exhaustion? You might keep up with the overwhelming demands of work and tell yourself you’ll rest once things calm down, but they never do. Maybe the excitement and stress that once even fueled your drive now feels relentless and unsustainable. Even when you’re supposed to be relaxing, your mind is racing, thinking about the next task, goal, or obligation. And yet, despite how much you’re accomplishing, it never feels like enough or like you deserve to fully unplug.
For many professionals, burnout isn’t about poor boundaries–it’s the reality of high-stakes work. Your role demands constant problem-solving, decision-making, and the ability to function under immense pressure. There’s no option to 'just take a break' when people rely on you, when missing a deadline has real consequences, or when slowing down could mean falling behind. Over time, the pressure builds, and what once felt like drive now feels like an unrelenting weight.
You might not call it burnout. Maybe you just feel off, less motivated, or like everything takes more effort than it used to. For many ambitious individuals, burnout can show up in various ways including:
How Burnout Can Look in High Achievers
Waking up tired, no matter how much sleep you get
Finding yourself more irritable or impatient with colleagues, clients, or loved ones
Feeling checked out or unmotivated, even when working on things you once enjoyed
Struggling to concentrate or make decisions as quickly as you used to
Relying on caffeine, alcohol, or other escapes just to get through the day
Telling yourself you just need to push through, even as exhaustion lingers
Who This Affects Most
Burnout is especially common among:
Executives, entrepreneurs, and professionals managing high-pressure roles
Physicians, lawyers, and finance professionals with demanding workloads
Perfectionists who struggle to set boundaries with work
High achievers who tie their self-worth to productivity
