Burnout & Workplace Stress

Therapy for professionals navigating exhaustion, pressure, and overwhelm—without losing themselves in the process.

When Work Feels Like Too Much

You’re capable, driven, and used to pushing through. But lately, even small tasks feel heavy. Your focus is slipping, your patience is thin, and no amount of “downtime” seems to restore you. You may be facing job burnout symptoms without even realizing it—irritability, fatigue, trouble sleeping, or feeling like you’re constantly behind.

Whether you're dealing with long hours, managing workplace stress, or feeling emotionally drained by your role, therapy can help you reset and reconnect with what matters to you.

What You Might Be Experiencing

Burnout and work-related stress can show up in ways that are easy to overlook—until they start taking a toll on your mental and physical health. You might notice:

  • Emotional exhaustion or feeling detached from your work

  • Difficulty concentrating or feeling mentally foggy

  • Dreading the workday or always feeling on edge

  • Irritability, anxiety, or a constant sense of urgency

  • Trouble sleeping or winding down after work

  • Disconnection from your life outside of work

  • A sense that you're failing—even when you're doing “enough”

Therapy offers a space to process what’s happening and develop realistic strategies for work-life balance, boundaries, and recovery.

How Therapy Can Support You

Experiencing job burnout symptoms doesn’t mean you’re weak—it often means you’ve been operating in overdrive without enough support. Whether you're navigating career pressure, perfectionism, or feeling stuck, therapy can help you:

  • Understand what’s driving workplace stress and how to respond differently

  • Rebuild energy and restore emotional balance

  • Learn emotional regulation tools for managing overwhelm and uncertainty

  • Explore perfectionism, over-functioning, or self-criticism patterns

  • Identify work-life balance tips that actually work for your life

  • Reconnect with your values, purpose, and identity outside of work

We tailor therapy to your pace, profession, and the patterns that may be driving your stress.

Below are some of the approaches we may use:

  • Shift unhelpful thought patterns, clarify your values, and take action that aligns with what matters most.

  • Develop grounding techniques and daily stress relief tools.

  • Understand the internal pressures that drive overwork and self-criticism.

  • Reconnect with your story, strengths, and sense of identity outside of work.

Therapy can also support your broader employee mental health if you’re in a leadership or caregiver role within your organization.

As part of our holistic approach, we can arrange a psychiatric consultation when appropriate. If needed, a psychiatrist will work closely with you and your therapist to provide additional support, including medication recommendations.

This service is available to clients actively engaged in therapy at MindSeed.

Whether you’re looking to improve your employee mental health, reduce workplace stress, or explore sustainable work-life balance tips, therapy can help you recover, reset, and feel more like yourself again.
