Job Therapy for High Achievers & Corporate Professionals
“The doors will be opened to those bold enough to knock” ~ Unknown
Is “Job Therapy” a thing?
Your job can be satisfying and exciting (or not), but it can also be demanding, isolating, stressful, and exhausting. Sometimes it builds up over time. You may be thinking, therapy is for people with “bigger problems.”
I can help – I recognize that therapy for high achievers and corporate professionals is different. Why would they need corporate wellness counseling or “Job Therapy”?
Sometimes it is not about exploring your childhood or talking about your parents (that is not to say there may be a moment where your history is a factor in your work ethic or how you may be handling a situation at work). We will address work challenges in the present and your current needs around work.
In our job therapy work together, we will focus on:
- Learning better coping and stress management skills.
- Finding creative solutions to work challenges as they come up.
- Venting your frustrations in the workspace that you don’t want to bring home.
- Tackling feelings of guilt around work and home.
- Support if you feel isolated or “lonely at the top”.
- Navigating challenges with colleagues, senior leadership and board members.
- Letting go of any self-limiting beliefs that may impact your success.
Can Job Therapy Be Your Secret Weapon for Success?
Do corporate executives need therapy? As corporate executives, high achievers, and CEOs, you may be asking yourselves that important question. As the pressures of business life continue to increase, you may find yourself looking for ways to enhance your performance by seeking out job therapy. By engaging in this type of therapy, as a person in a leadership position, can gain insights into your behavior that will help you succeed with greater confidence and clarity.
What Is Job Therapy and Does it Provide for High Achievers?
The corporate world is a hectic and demanding space, and the pressure to achieve can be immense. To help high achievers like yourself, from corporate executives to doctors and lawyers, manage that stress and still perform at their peak, corporations are increasingly turning to corporate wellness programs that include mental health counseling services. Job therapy has become an indispensable part of providing support for busy professionals in a variety of high-performing roles.
Working with a job therapy and mental health counselor can allow you to gain valuable insights into your emotions and behavior. By talking about the challenges you face in the workplace, you have the opportunity to learn better ways of managing stress, developing greater emotional awareness, and improving communication skills. These strategies can help you become a more effective leader and help give you an edge over the competition.
Structure And Perspective
Whatever the specific symptoms or issues we target through job therapy, I will help by providing structure and adding perspective to your thinking. At the same time, I will offer you the chance to experience the emotional and psychological benefits of simply being able to talk to someone who is never judgmental. The great part is I am trained in listening and questioning, all with the goal of improving your life.
Job therapy is also very well suited for a lawyer or compliance and risk executive whose training in recognizing problems and risks may hinder the ability to change regarding one’s own challenges. It’s also perfect for a person accustomed to being in control and having all the answers, but who now finds that things in their own life seem out of control or that answers seem out of reach.
Why Am I The Right Job Therapist For You?
I practiced law and was in the corporate world for almost 15 years before recognizing that I needed something different. I found that ‘something different’ through therapy, which changed my life. I then trained to become a licensed psychotherapist.
Everyone’s experience is their own, so you may not be looking to change your career, but you will find that I can fully connect with your situation and provide you with the understanding of a therapist and a corporate professional. I get it!

Corporate Professional Therapy FAQ
Why would an executive need therapy?
Even high achievers face moments of self-doubt, burnout, or feeling “stuck.” Therapy offers a space to explore the emotional weight that comes with success—like perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and the pressure to always perform. It’s not about weakness; it’s about strengthening your emotional resilience so you can continue leading with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
Can therapy help with burnout and work-related stress?
Yes—therapy can be a powerful tool for identifying the root causes of burnout and learning how to manage stress in healthier ways. We explore not only your external demands, but also the internal expectations and thought patterns that drive you. Through our sessions, you’ll gain strategies to restore energy, improve focus, and reclaim balance in both your professional and personal life.
Is therapy confidential, even for corporate professionals?
Absolutely. Your privacy is a top priority. All therapy sessions are confidential and protected under HIPAA guidelines. Whether you’re discussing personal struggles, work dynamics, or leadership challenges, you can speak openly without fear of judgment or professional repercussions.
How is therapy different for professionals or executives?
Therapy for executives focuses on the unique challenges that come with leadership—such as isolation, decision fatigue, identity conflict, or work-life imbalance. It’s a space designed to help you unpack those experiences without needing to explain your ambition or role. We get it, and we tailor our approach to support your high-functioning lifestyle and emotional needs.
Can therapy help me with work-life balance?
Yes. Work-life balance often feels like a moving target for high performers. Therapy can help you redefine balance on your terms—working through guilt, boundaries, and the belief that success must come at the cost of your well-being. Together, we’ll develop sustainable practices that honor both your drive and your humanity.
Will therapy make me less driven or ambitious?
Not at all. Therapy doesn’t take away your ambition—it helps you channel it in healthier, more sustainable ways. Many clients find that therapy actually enhances their focus, creativity, and leadership presence by reducing the inner noise that holds them back. You don’t have to lose your edge to find peace.
How do I find time for therapy with a busy schedule?
We understand the demands of high-level work. That’s why we offer flexible scheduling—including early morning, lunchtime, and evening appointments—to make therapy accessible without disrupting your flow. Investing in your mental clarity is one of the most strategic decisions you can make for long-term success.
