NYC Therapy for Burnout! You don’t have to navigate this alone!

Living in New York City means being surrounded by ambition, opportunity, and pressure.

If you’re constantly pushing yourself to succeed but secretly feel exhausted, irritable, or emotionally drained, you might be experiencing burnout.

At Wellcore Healing, I specialize in helping high-achieving women like you recover from burnout and reconnect with a life that feels grounded, empowered, and sustainable.

What Is Burnout?

Burnout isn’t just “being tired.” It’s a chronic state of emotional, mental, and physical exhaustion—often caused by high pressure, perfectionism, overworking, or caregiving without enough support.

You might be dealing with burnout if you:

  • Wake up dreading your day, even after sleep

  • Feel cynical, numb, or emotionally flat

  • Lose motivation for work you once loved

  • Struggle with brain fog or irritability

  • Feel like you can never do “enough”

Why NYC Women Are Especially at Risk

NYC is full of brilliant, motivated women juggling careers, relationships, families, and personal goals. But the city’s intensity and culture of “doing more” can quickly lead to chronic stress and burnout, especially for:

Even therapy clients who are functioning on the outside often say:

  • "I feel like I’m always running on empty."

  • "Rest feels unproductive."

  • "If I stop, everything might fall apart."

  • Sound familiar? That’s burnout—not failure.

The Link Between Burnout, Anxiety, and Perfectionism

Burnout rarely exists in isolation. Many high-achieving women also deal with:

Therapy can help untangle these patterns and build a healthier, more sustainable way of showing up in your life and work.

How Therapy Can Help You Recover from Burnout

Therapy gives you a space to:

  • Understand what’s fueling your burnout

  • Set boundaries without guilt

  • Reconnect with joy, rest, and values

  • Rebuild self-trust and self-worth

  • Learn nervous system regulation and coping skills

At Wellcore Healing, I use a collaborative and empowering approach grounded in:

  • ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy)

  • IFS (Internal Family Systems)

  • CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)

  • Positive Psychology

  • Mindfulness and somatic tools

  • Trauma-informed care
