Burnout, Imposter Syndrome & Mental Health Support for Business Owners

You Don’t Have to Hold It All Together Alone

Running your own business is often seen as the ultimate form of freedom, but for many entrepreneurs, executives, and solo practitioners, the weight of responsibility can feel suffocating. Whether you’re leading a team or leading yourself, you’re likely juggling a thousand decisions, questioning whether you’re doing enough, and pushing through exhaustion because stepping back feels risky.

I specialize in therapy for business owners and entrepreneurs, especially female business owners, navigating the emotional and psychological challenges of high achievement. You don’t have to carry the weight alone. Therapy can help you reconnect with yourself, reclaim clarity, and move forward with intention.

The Hidden Struggles of Business Owners and Entrepreneurs

From the outside, it may seem like you've "made it." But behind the scenes, many business owners are quietly experiencing:

• Chronic anxiety about performance, revenue, or sustainability

• Burnout from constant hustle or blurred boundaries

• Imposter syndrome, even after years of success

• Isolation, especially if you're a solopreneur or leading a team

• Decision fatigue and pressure to always be “on”

• Guilt for wanting rest or questioning your passion

Therapy offers space to unpack these struggles without judgment and create new way forward the feels healthier and more sustainable.

Rebuild Your Relationship with Rest, Success, and Purpose

Burnout isn’t always solved by rest alone, especially when the deeper issues behind it go unaddressed. As this recent Forbes article on burnout points out, “Rest isn’t the antidote to burnout when the problem is rooted in identity, expectations, or how success is defined.”

Therapy offers more than just a break. It gives you space to explore the patterns that keep you stuck in burnout, even when you’re technically “off the clock.”

Why Therapy Helps When You’re the One in Charge

Entrepreneurship demands resilience, but it also demands self-awareness. When you're the face of your brand or the heart of your company, your mental and emotional health directly impacts your work, relationships, and long-term goals.

Working with a therapist who understands business ownership can help you:

• Set boundaries that protect your time and energy

• Work through fear of failure or visibility

• Untangle your identity from your output

• Explore values-based decision-making

• Rebuild your relationship with rest, success, and purpose

What Therapy Looks Like for Entrepreneurs

Therapy with me isn’t rigid or prescriptive. It’s a collaborative space where we focus on your real, day-to-day experiences. When addressing your mental health as a business owner, we might explore patterns of overworking, dig into perfectionism, provide treatment for imposter-syndrome, or use evidence-based tools to manage anxiety and stress.

Sessions are virtual, so you can meet from your office, home, or even between meetings. We’ll work together to make therapy something that supports you, not one more thing on your plate.

Evidence-Based Tools Utilized in Counseling for Business Owners & Entrepreneurs

I provide a unique blend of therapeutic approaches designed to help entrepreneurs like you manage symptoms that affect both your professional and personal lives. The goal is to identify, manage, and alleviate any mental health symptoms, such as anxiety and stress. We will also focus on finding healthy ways to prevent burnout so you can feel more grounded and in control. My approach is practical, collaborative, and centered on what is most helpful to you in the moment.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT):

• We’ll challenge unhelpful thought patterns taking up unnecessary space in your head, like perfectionism, fear of failure, and imposter syndrome. You will learn to quiet or replace thoughts holding you back from feeling confident and present in your business.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT):

• ACT helps you work through uncertainty, anxiety, and stress by reconnecting to your values and learning how to take meaningful action, even when things feel overwhelming in your business or personal life.

Internal Family Systems (IFS):

• This approach will help you better understand the different parts of yourself that contribute to overworking, people-pleasing, and self-doubt as a business owner or entrepreneur. We will focus on how to lead from a more centered and compassionate perspective.

Positive Psychology

• We will build on your internal strengths as an entrepreneur, increase resilience, and redefine success in ways that feel more sustainable as well as fulfilling.

Mindfulness & Stress Reduction:

• Mindfulness practices, breathwork, and grounding tools can improve focus, reduce anxiety, and support better decision-making in the day-to-day of running your business.

Where I Work With Business Owners

Whether you're working from a downtown high-rise or a corner of your living room, therapy meets you where you are. I work with business owners across Colorado, Massachusetts, New York, Vermont, and Florida.

Boston, MA

From the pressure of scaling in a competitive city to the high expectations of academic and startup culture, Boston entrepreneurs often carry a unique mental load, including periods of self-doubt. I offer treatment for imposter syndrome for Massachusetts residents, including business owners, as well as anxiety and burnout. We will work together to help you eliminate negative self-talk, manage stress, increase confidence, and reconnect with personal and professional purpose.

Brooklyn & NYC, NY

In the city thats always on the go, success often comes at the cost of mental clarity. Founders, consultants, and therapists in NYC are navigating constant pressure, comparison, and uncertainty. Whether you're running your own practice or building a brand, the entrepreneurial grind can take a serious toll on your self-esteem and emotional well-being.

I offer therapy for imposter syndrome, burnout, and anxiety tailored specifically for business owners and high-achievers across New York City, including Brooklyn, Manhattan, and beyond. Together, we’ll work to quiet the inner critic, set healthy boundaries, and reconnect with the part of you that remembers why you started in the first place.

Denver & Colorado

In Colorado, the entrepreneurial spirit runs deep. Unfortunately, so does the pressure to "succeed." Whether you're a solopreneur wellness coach, a founder of an outdoor adventure business trying to scale, or a high achiever navigating burnout, that inner voice of self-doubt can get loud fast.

In my online therapy for Colorado-based professionals, we tackle imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and anxiety from a trauma-informed, evidence-based lens. Together, we’ll work on setting boundaries, softening your inner critic, and reclaiming your confidence, so you can thrive personally and professionally.

You don’t have to hold it all together alone. Therapy is a space where you get to be the client, and where it’s safe to be fully seen.

Miami & Florida

Entrepreneurship in Miami can feel bold, fast-paced, and high-stakes. You’re expected to move fast, stay visible, and never show cracks. But behind the scenes, the pressure to perform can lead to burnout, anxiety, and spiraling self-doubt.

I offer online therapy for Florida-based entrepreneurs, founders, and therapists who are juggling high expectations and personal growth. Whether you’re feeling stuck in hustle mode or struggling with imposter syndrome, therapy gives you a chance to step back and gain perspective. You will have an opportunity to process what’s really going on, gain therapy tools, and reconnect with your core values.

Let’s help you feel empowered again, on your terms.

Burlington & Vermont

Running a business in Vermont might seem more peaceful from the outside, but internal pressure and perfectionism don’t care where you live. For many solo business owners and entrepreneurs in Vermont, the slower pace can actually heighten feelings of isolation, overwhelm, and not doing “enough.”

I provide online therapy for entrepreneurs and professionals across Vermont who are dealing with anxiety, self-doubt, and chronic stress. You don’t have to push through alone. Therapy offers the support, clarity, and grounded space you’ve been craving, so you can lead with confidence and calm.
