Burnout Therapy for Business Professionals in NYC

Feeling stressed, overextended, or uncertain in your work? I help finance and corporate professionals reduce stress, gain clarity, and feel more confident in their decisions and relationships. Before beginning my clinical practice, I earned a PhD in Business Administration (Management and Organizational Behavior) and worked in software development and financial management within complex institutions, including Chase, UBS/Credit Suisse, CIBC Capital Markets, Dow Jones, Simon & Schuster, American Express, the NYC Department of Education, Kaplan TestPrep, and The College Board.

I have taught management and leadership at colleges and universities, developed employee training programs, and created the Critical Thinking Program for the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. These roles provided firsthand exposure to the organizational politics, performance metrics, leadership pressures, and cultural dynamics that shape professional life in New York.  Therapy can help you feel less stressed, more satisfied in your work and relationships and work.

Common Challenges for Business Professionals and Executives

• Chronic Stress: Sustained pressure and anxiety without adequate recovery
• Imposter Feelings: Persistent self-doubt despite external success
• Perfectionism: Self-worth tightly linked to performance
• Work-Relationship Strain: Difficulties with relationships due to professional demands
• Career Transitions: Promotions, pivots, exits, or leadership changes
• Loss of Meaning: Achievement without personal fulfillment and satisfaction

Signs of High-Functioning Distress

Many business professionals do not appear distressed externally. They continue meeting deadlines, managing teams, closing deals, or growing companies. The signs are often internal:

• Decision fatigue and emotional rollercoasters
• Persistent anxiety or dread, sometimes of an unknown nature
• Irritability, rage, or emotional detachment
• Difficulty relaxing, even during downtime
• A sense that something feels off
• Substance use as a self-soothing mechanism

These experiences are not signs of weakness. They are signals that your system has been operating at high output for an extended period and that something needs to change.

One Client's Therapy Experience

A senior finance professional once came to therapy describing himself as “objectively successful but internally unsettled and unhappy.” He was performing well yet felt increasingly disconnected from his work and relationships. Our work focused on understanding long-standing achievement patterns, reconnecting with emotional signals, and redefining success on his own terms. Over time, he reported greater clarity, stronger relationships, and a more sustainable work-life balance.

While each person’s therapy is unique, many professionals find that meaningful change begins when they have a confidential space free from evaluation, metrics, or performance pressure.
