San Diego Therapy for Executives, Business Owners, & Entrepreneurs

The relentless pace of leadership often masks the early warning signs of burnout. Therapy offers a dedicated space to pay attention to how you’re doing and explore what changes you can make to both prevent further depletion and heal if you’re already wiped out. Our work together will identify the patterns wearing you down and build sustainable habits that protect your time and energy.

Long hours, an intense mental load, and decision fatigue can impact your ability to be truly present with your loved ones. It may also be tough to shift to a more collaborative approach at home. Therapy gives you the opportunity to get in tune with your relational needs, explore which adjustments will lead to meaningful impacts, and learn practical tools for communication and conflict resolution.

The choices you make affect employees, families, and futures. Therapy can help you get clear on your values—personal and professional—which can help you stay grounded when you’re faced with difficult decisions, at work and at home. 

You can’t always tell your team—or even your spouse—what’s going on behind the scenes of your business. Therapy is a confidential space where you don’t have to perform, manage, or protect anyone. Being able to speak openly about the realities of your role often brings a level of relief that many entrepreneurs are surprised by.

Absolutely. The very traits that make you successful (like your drive, perfectionism, and hyper-responsibility) also make you vulnerable to anxiety, isolation, and burnout. Most leaders we see are high-functioning on the outside while quietly struggling underneath. While it can be difficult to reach out for support, know that you’ll be met here without judgment.

We bring decades of combined experience treating high-acuity, high-complexity clients, from long-term residential settings to private practice, so we have a versatile toolkit to support the unique needs of executives. Plus, as business owners ourselves, we offer a lived understanding of the pressures of entrepreneurship that many of our clients in high-pressure careers find invaluable.

Confidentiality is foundational to therapy and protected by law. We’re also bound by strict ethical codes to protect your privacy. Additionally, because we don’t bill insurance directly, no diagnoses or session notes are shared with third-party payers without your explicit direction.

While it can be a challenge to carve out time for yourself amidst a busy work schedule, most clients tell us therapy gives back more than it takes. One focused hour a week often pays dividends across every area of your life.

Therapy is generally treated as a personal medical expense rather than a business deduction, so we’d recommend speaking with your CPA about what’s appropriate for your situation. We provide monthly superbills for clients who are interested in using their out-of-network benefits, and we also accept HSA and FSA payments. Our team is happy to walk through billing questions during your consultation.
