Therapy for Executives, Entrepreneurs & Leaders:

You’ve always had the drive. Maybe you were the kid with a high school resume jam-packed with achievements. Perhaps you were the one with a side hustle in middle school, constantly seeking new ways to grow and succeed. Maybe you followed every rule to the letter, or perhaps you broke them all to forge your own path. Either way, you’re someone who grew up and found success in your career.

But now, despite all that you’ve achieved, does something still feel off? It’s not uncommon for high-performing professionals like you—executives, entrepreneurs, and leaders—to experience this.

Everyone is unique and I have found many of my clients share some similar challenges too which I will share below.

Control / The Unknown

Some of my clients find that their professional life is a source of ease. In their business world, they’re in control and can dominate. Yet, outside of that realm, the unknown is an uncomfortable place to be. Feeling out of control in other areas of life—like relationships or personal growth—can cause underlying tension and stress. These clients often describe a world where many people depend on them. On one hand it’s nice, because they can organize their lives and make sure the ones they love are taken care of and stay on track. On the other hand, it can sometimes feel like a silent burden, always being there and figuring things out for others. Saving the day and helping loved ones feels right, but it may also feel like it’s slowly drowning you at times.

Anger / Too Agreeable

Some clients find that their success is tempered by their inability to relate or communicate with coworkers and/or loved ones. Often, they find that they vacillate between being very accommodating, followed by moments of anger or rage.

Relationship with Money

Relationships with money that can be a double-edged sword

Some client’s are frugal and therefore financially stable but they can feel stymied by the inability to enjoy their money or take smart investment risks to make more money.

Some clients are successful enough, but they find that leads to them spending lots of money on trivial things or fueling overindulgence in other pleasures. This can rob them of long-term success and feel like a rollercoaster at times.

Who Am I?

Many of my clients have spent so much of their lives working hard and taking on work/life responsibilities, that they get lost in the rat-race of doing, rather than being. It’s not uncommon for my clients to say I think I need more time to devote to myself and my interests. Paradoxically, even though they desire this, for some reason it is hard for them to slow down, or make time for themselves. EMDR therapy helps bridge this gap so that you can relax into your own personal time and explore your own interests while at peace.

Can I Be Happy?

If you are reading and relating to some of what I have shared, it is likely that you are a leader in some domain. The universe has given you intellectual talents, and mixed with your drive and dedication, you have accomplished so much. Truthfully, it is also likely that at an early age you leaned hard into these talents because you needed to in order to be safe, feel loved, or provide safety and security for yourself or ones you loved. You have achieved much, and you have protected yourself from the challenges and pain from the past. It is safe to relax now, but you have built a habit of working hard as a way to soothe and deal with the anxieties of life. You can be happy, and you can learn to relax and find joy in a world of personal interests, it just takes some exploration and a dedication to your therapy goals. My client’s have a history of working hard to meet their goals and this attribute is very helpful when people decide to go to therapy.

Every person has a unique belief system. Some of these beliefs have fueled your success, while others might be holding you back. Therapy for executives and business leaders can help address these deeper challenges and help you create a more balanced, fulfilling life.

Executive Therapy: Tailored Support for High Performers

As an executive, entrepreneur, or leader, your time is valuable, and your challenges are unique. You’re used to solving complex problems and managing daily pressures, but your own well-being may often take a back seat. Executive therapy is designed to help you address both the personal and professional challenges you’re facing.

Some of my clients find motivation in their work, while avoiding deeper issues around family, relationships, or early childhood trauma. It’s common to feel like you don’t need to address these personal matters to succeed in your career, but the truth is, your success at work is often intertwined with unresolved emotional issues from your past. Therapy helps you navigate these complexities, improving not only your personal life but also your professional performance.

Whether you’re feeling burnout from leadership pressures, seeking clarity, or struggling with your personal relationships, executive therapy can help you regain your balance.

Therapy for the C-Suite: Customized Care for CEOs, CFOs, and Other Leaders

Leaders in C-suite positions, such as CEOs, CFOs, and other executives, face immense pressure daily. While some of my clients thrive on this pressure, others struggle with the personal toll it takes. For those who feel completely at ease at work, it’s often the personal areas of life that feel less controllable, whether it’s relationships, emotional well-being, or life outside of work.

Therapy for CEOs and Therapy for CFOs focuses specifically on the unique challenges you encounter in your role. Whether you’re thriving in the boardroom but feeling disconnected at home, or you’re questioning your larger purpose, therapy offers you a place to explore these struggles safely.

Therapy for C-suite executives can help you become more aware of these patterns and develop healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

Jungian and Existential Therapy for Leaders: Digging Deeper Into Meaning and Purpose

For some high-performing individuals, traditional therapy may not fully address the deeper questions they’re grappling with—questions of meaning, purpose, and identity. Jungian therapy for executives delves into the unconscious mind, helping you uncover the deeper forces driving your behavior and success. By exploring your inner world, this form of therapy can help you better understand what may be missing from your life and how to find fulfillment.

Similarly, Existential therapy for leaders addresses larger existential questions—questions about purpose, authenticity, and the meaning of your work. As a leader or entrepreneur, you may find yourself questioning whether the path you’re on aligns with your core values. Existential therapy provides a framework to explore these concerns in a safe and supportive environment.

EMDR Therapy for Leaders: Healing Trauma and Reducing Stress

For some leaders, the professional world feels safe and manageable, but trauma from the past continues to affect their present. EMDR therapy for leaders can be an effective tool for processing unresolved trauma or deep-seated emotional stress. Whether you’re dealing with childhood experiences, relationship wounds, or more recent traumatic events, EMDR can help you process and move past them.

For high-performers, EMDR therapy provides relief from both past experiences and current challenges, allowing you to maintain balance and focus in your personal and professional life.

Therapy for Business Leaders: Balancing Responsibilities and Well-Being

As a business leader, the responsibilities on your shoulders can feel endless. Whether you’re navigating complex relationships, managing the growth of your organization, or dealing with personal issues, the stress can start to accumulate. Therapy for business leaders provides a space to explore these challenges and work through emotional blocks, all while keeping your professional goals on track.

For those in leadership positions, leadership therapy or leadership counseling can help refine your leadership style while supporting your emotional well-being. These approaches don’t just focus on stress management but also help you lead with authenticity and balance.

Therapy for Entrepreneurs & Business Owners: Navigating the Unique Challenges of Ownership

Business ownership comes with a unique set of challenges that often push individuals beyond the limits of their comfort zones. Entrepreneurs frequently experience the weight of responsibility, the unpredictability of market conditions, and the isolation that can come from being at the top. While many thrive on the thrill of building something from the ground up, this same drive can create intense pressure, leading to stress, burnout, or a sense of detachment from personal relationships. Therapy for business owners offers a space to explore these dynamics, helping entrepreneurs manage their stress while maintaining their passion and focus.

The personality of entrepreneurs is often marked by resilience, innovation, and a deep desire for autonomy. Many possess a high tolerance for risk and an almost relentless pursuit of their goals. However, these same traits can make it difficult for them to recognize when they need help or to slow down and reflect. Entrepreneur therapy can assist in identifying blind spots—those areas where their strengths might also be their weaknesses. For instance, the drive for independence might hinder their ability to delegate effectively, or their passion for their work could cause them to neglect personal self-care and relationships.

In addition to professional challenges, entrepreneurs often face personal struggles tied to their identity as business leaders. Many grapple with feelings of loneliness, imposter syndrome, or the constant need to prove themselves. Therapy for entrepreneurs helps individuals explore the internal pressures that drive these feelings and provides tools to build healthier, more sustainable ways of coping. It also offers a safe space to work through relationship issues that may arise when work becomes all-consuming, allowing them to reconnect with loved ones without sacrificing their ambitions.

For business owners, therapy isn't just about managing stress; it's also about enhancing emotional intelligence, improving decision-making, and fostering a deeper understanding of their motivations. By addressing the underlying emotional and psychological factors that influence their leadership style, a therapist for entrepreneurs can help them develop more intentional and effective business strategies. Entrepreneurs who invest in their mental and emotional well-being often find that this inner work translates into greater clarity, resilience, and satisfaction both in their personal and professional lives.

Similarly, counseling for business owners and counseling for entrepreneurs provides practical strategies to navigate these personal and professional challenges. By addressing the emotional roots of these behaviors, you can cultivate a more balanced and fulfilling life.
