You’re still getting things done, but everything feels twice as hard. We help high-achievers in Philadelphia rebuild their energy and reconnect with what actually matters.
You wake up already tired, and your to-do list feels endless. You’re still getting things done, but everything takes twice as much effort as it should. Burnout isn’t just being busy. It’s feeling emotionally drained by things that used to energize you.
Burnout therapy in Philadelphia helps when you’re functioning but not thriving. You show up and handle responsibilities, but you’re running on fumes. For some, that loss of motivation blends into depression; for others, it comes with a constant edge of anxiety. You’re productive but not passionate, feeling cynical about work and questioning why you’re working so hard when nothing feels satisfying.
Burnout therapy helps you rebuild your energy and reconnect with what matters. This includes relationships that have suffered under your exhaustion. You learn to recognize limits before hitting them and manage workload without sacrificing wellbeing or taking stress out on loved ones. Many supplement with a marriage & relationship counselor to address the full picture.
After burnout therapy, work becomes more manageable. You set boundaries that stick. You stop taking on projects that aren’t your responsibility. You learn to say no without guilt and delegate instead of doing everything yourself.
You’ll rediscover activities that bring you joy. Many people with burnout have forgotten what they enjoy outside of work. Burnout therapy helps you rebuild a life that includes rest, pleasure, and activities that energize you rather than drain you.
Our Approach to Burnout Therapy
Our burnout therapy approach focuses on understanding how you got burned out and what needs to change. We examine your relationship with work, perfectionism, and people-pleasing patterns that contribute to exhaustion.
We help you identify your core values so you can make decisions based on what actually matters to you. This often involves examining beliefs about productivity, success, and self-worth that keep you stuck in burnout cycles.
Burnout therapy includes practical strategies for energy management. We work on setting boundaries, managing perfectionism, and creating separation between work and personal life. We address the guilt that comes with not being productive all the time.
We don’t assume quitting your job is the answer. Sometimes career changes help, but often burnout can be addressed by changing how you approach work and life. We help you figure out what changes will actually make a difference.
What to Expect in Sessions
Burnout therapy sessions are 50 minutes and happen weekly. We start by understanding your specific burnout patterns. What led to this point? What aspects of your life feel most draining? What used to give you energy?
You’ll learn to recognize early warning signs of overwhelm before you crash. This might include tracking your energy levels, noticing when you start feeling resentful, or identifying situations that consistently drain you.
We practice setting boundaries in real situations. This could mean having conversations about workload, saying no to extra commitments, or creating rules about checking email after hours. Many clients discover their burnout has eroded their self-worth, requiring deeper work on rebuilding self-esteem.
Between sessions, you’ll work on rebuilding activities that restore your energy. We might schedule time for hobbies, plan restful weekends, or reconnect with people you’ve been too busy to see.
