Work Stress + Burnout Therapy in Vancouver

Do you feel like the spark is not there anymore?
Are you going through the motions and feeling drained at the end of the day?
Are you exhausted, agitated, and unsure how to stop feeling this way?

Burnout makes you feel disconnected from yourself. Work takes more from you than it gives back. What used to be fun can feel flat. Rest isn’t restful and boundaries can be hard to put in place. 


We specialize in helping clients with burnout understand the impact of doing too much for too long.

Many clients see improvements in 10 to 12 sessions, depending on needs.

Burnout is not laziness. It is often the result of living too long in pressure, responsibility, and overfunctioning.

  • Exhaustion
  • Work stress
  • Drained energy
  • Low motivation
  • Poor boundaries
  • Easy agitation
  • Feeling numb
  • Not experiencing joy

Clients come to us for:

The impact of burnout

Burnout therapy with us is focused on helping you understand how you got here and what needs to change. We look at the identity, beliefs, roles, and pressures that contributed to this state.

Together, we explore the patterns that keep you overworking, overgiving, or ignoring your own limits. We also work on boundaries, nervous system regulation, and how to balance life in a way that is actually sustainable.

Burnout therapy is not about becoming more productive. It is about refueling you so you are no longer running on empty. 

AEDP helps bring the body into a greater state of regulation and calm. This can help you process stress instead of staying stuck in survival mode.

Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP)

Somatic therapy helps you notice how burnout lives in your body. You learn to track tension, shutdown, agitation, and exhaustion so you can return to steadier ground.

Somatic Therapy

ACT helps you reconnect with what matters and make choices that reflect your values, not just pressure, fear, or obligation.

EFT helps you identify, make sense of, and process the emotions underneath your burnout, like exhaustion, resentment, or grief, rather than just pushing through. 

Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT)

IFS helps you understand the parts of you that push, please, overwork, or shut down. This helps you respond with more intention.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)
