When your career is going well,
but you don't feel well.
Therapy for women navigating career anxiety, workplace pressure, self-doubt, and the fear of getting it wrong—even when everyone else thinks you're doing just fine
Virtual therapy for women in New York
You can be capable and still feel overwhelmed.
Maybe you've worked hard to build the career you wanted. You've earned the degree, accepted the promotion, stepped into leadership, changed careers, or taken on responsibilities you've spent years preparing for.
But lately, you're questioning yourself more than you expected.
You replay conversations after work. You reread emails before sending them. You worry that you've said the wrong thing. You wonder whether people respect you. You feel pressure to be competent, approachable, successful, and available—all at the same time.
And even when someone tells you that you're doing a great job, part of you is still waiting for someone to realize you don't actually know what you're doing.
You might be here because…
-
You're stepping into more and questioning yourself
A promotion, leadership role, career change, or new level of responsibility has left you second-guessing your decisions, replaying conversations, and wondering whether you're really as capable as everyone thinks you are.
-
Work doesn't stay at work
You leave the office, but your mind doesn't. You're thinking about emails, difficult conversations, other people's reactions, and everything you still need to do. Setting boundaries feels difficult when you don't want to disappoint people or be seen as difficult.
-
You've built a successful career but it's costing you
The career you've worked so hard to build is beginning to affect your relationships, health, identity, or ability to enjoy your life. You feel responsible for everyone else's needs while struggling to make space for your own.
Therapy can help you move from surviving your success to actually experiencing it.
-
Managing anxiety
Learn practical ways to regulate anxiety, interrupt overthinking, and respond differently when your nervous system is on high alert.
-
Building confidence without constant reassurance
Develop a more grounded sense of self-trust so every mistake, interaction, or difficult conversation doesn't become evidence that you're failing.
-
Creating boundaries without guilt
Learn to communicate your needs and limits without feeling responsible for everyone's reaction.
-
Navigating difficult workplace relationships
Work through conflict, criticism, leadership challenges, people-pleasing, and the pressure to remain likable.
-
Redefining success
Explore what you actually want from your career and your life—not simply what you've been taught you should want.
Therapy that's practical, compassionate, and grounded in who you are.
I integrate approaches including DBT, ACT, attachment-based therapy, and compassion-focused work to help you understand what's happening beneath the anxiety while developing practical ways to respond differently.
Therapy isn't about becoming less ambitious or caring less. It's about being able to pursue the things that matter to you without constantly feeling like you're failing at something else.
This may be a good fit if you're…
Having difficulty separating work from your personal life
Learning how to set boundaries
Experiencing pressure related to gender, workplace expectations, or being taken seriously
Feeling successful externally but overwhelmed internally
A professional navigating a demanding career
Stepping into leadership for the first time
Considering or navigating a career change
Struggling with anxiety or panic at work
Constantly questioning whether you're “good enough”
Questions you may be asking
-
No. Many women seek therapy because anxiety, overthinking, self-doubt, or stress have started affecting their work, relationships, or quality of life—even without a formal diagnosis.
-
Confidence and anxiety don't always go together. You can be successful and capable while still second-guessing yourself, worrying about how others perceive you, or feeling pressure to get everything right. Therapy can help you understand these patterns and develop a more grounded sense of self-trust. -
Yes. If you're constantly thinking about work after hours, struggling to set boundaries, or feeling responsible for everyone's needs, therapy can help you create healthier ways of managing work without letting it consume your personal life.
-
You don't have to be unhappy with your career to recognize that something isn't working. Sometimes success brings new responsibilities, expectations, or questions about what you actually want. Therapy can give you space to explore that without judgment.
-
Yes. We can work together to understand what may be contributing to your anxiety and panic while developing practical ways to feel more grounded and regain a sense of control.
