Therapy for Business Owners & Entrepreneurs

CBT treatment approaches help you identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns that may be affecting your performance, leadership, and confidence as an entrepreneur.

ACT therapy helps you stop fighting uncomfortable emotions and avoiding uncertainty. These are two very common patterns for business owners experience when they are under chronic stress. Instead, you’ll learn how to move forward with clarity and purpose. This is done by learning to accept what’s outside your control while staying anchored in your core values.

ACT can reduce uneasy energy, strengthen resilience, and help you lead from your values rather than pressure.

IFS helps you work with the different parts of yourself that tend to surface when you are encountering considerable pressure. Examples include the “inner critic,” the “overachiever,” or the part that feels like a “fraud.” The negative self-talk associated with each of these parts often increases when burnt out or when making important business decisions.

We'll work with those parts—not fighting them, but understanding what they're trying to protect. This helps you lead with confidence and self-trust instead of fear.

We’ll build on your strengths, increase resilience, and create fulfillment, not just success, in your business and your life.

Mindfulness helps you notice what’s happening in your body and mind before it becomes a spiral. We’ll use practical skills like breathing practices, grounding, and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) to lower reactivity, improve focus, and create more intentional decision-making. There are many short- and long-lasting benefits to using these practices. Some examples include: reduced reactivity, improved focus, and clearer thinking.

Psychodynamic therapy helps us connect what you’re dealing with now to patterns formed earlier in life. For many business owners, the pressure to perform, over-function, people-please, or stay in constant urgency did not start with the business. It often comes from older beliefs about worth, safety, success, and what it takes to be accepted.

In our work together, we’ll identify and address recurring themes from your past. For example, we’ll look at previous relationships, work style, and inner dialogue. From there, we will explore how past experiences may still shape your reactions today. The goal is to gain insight that actually changes things (e.g., more emotional freedom, healthier boundaries, less self-sabotage, and leadership that comes from choice instead of old survival strategies).

This approach is especially helpful if old patterns keep emerging, even when you use new tools. It is also beneficial when stress is consistently out of proportion to the situation.
