Therapy in Chicago
Career and Boundaries
In a culture that values hustle and that promises fulfillment, meaning, and success through one’s career (phew that’s a lot to expect from one part of our life!), we understand the challenges that work brings.
Your career can be a source of satisfaction, healthy challenge, and growth but it can also be a source of burnout, isolation, and great self doubt.
Therapy can help you create thoughtful boundaries so that you can restore balance and create a new relationship with your work identity.
Stressed at work? Therapy can help with:
Therapeutic Executive Coaching/C-Suite
Explore how your leadership and relational style impacts your work culture, increase interpersonal effectiveness, and utilize strategic communication tactics.
Burnout and Boundaries
Build tools and skills for managing the impact of burnout, setting boundaries, connecting back to joy, and identifying changes to move from surviving to empowerment.
Career Identity Issues
Explore who you are, how you work and what you want out of your career. Identity values misalignments and move towards enhanced authenticity and satisfaction in your career.
New Grads
Develop skills to help you navigate the transition into “adulting” while building awareness and language around who you are becoming.
Engaging in career and boundaries therapy can look like:
Identifying and exploring your communication and interpersonal style, as well as conflict patterns
Developing skills and increase capacity to regulate and manage stress cycles
Identifying and exploring your personal values, and how they connect to professional life
Building insight around when a boundary is needed, and cultivating communication skills to advocate for yourself
While we welcome folks across industries, we often work with C-Suite executives, folks working in law or healthcare, other helping professionals, creatives, and teachers.
Therapy for career and burnout can also help you:
Explore how you can harness your strengths to effectively negotiate, collaborate, and engage those on your team or in leadership roles
Understand how your current ways of coping may be contributing to cyclical burnout and impacting how you view work
Learn how to work with your nervous system and brain to bring you out of burnout
Understand the role of perfectionism and how “imposter syndrome” is keeping you stuck
“We will not go back to normal. Normal never was. Our pre-COVID existence was never normal other than we normalized greed, inequity, exhaustion, depletion, extraction, disconnection, confusion, rage, hoarding, hate and lack. We should not long to return, My friends. We are being given the opportunity to stitch a new garment. One that fits all of humanity and nature.”
