You’ve tried the vacation, the boundaries, the better morning routine. You’re still running on fumes, and you’re starting to wonder what’s wrong with you. Probably nothing. Probably a pattern.
In person in Suwanee, online across Georgia.
Burnout isn’t a willpower problem, and another productivity hack won’t touch it. Let’s look at what’s actually keeping you running.
We look at the pattern, not just the exhaustion. Burnout usually has a driver. For some people it’s overfunctioning: doing it all because it’s faster than asking. For others it’s masking, survival mode, or people-pleasing. Which one is running the show matters, because each one asks for something different.
We get underneath the standards. Perfectionism usually started as a smart move. We get curious about where yours came from, what it’s protecting you from, and what it’s costing you now.
We practice rest without the guilt. Not as homework you can fail. As permission, a little at a time, until it stops feeling like you’re getting away with something.
We’re not here to make you more productive. If you leave therapy getting more done, cool. That’s not the goal. The goal is a life that doesn’t require you to run on empty to keep it going.
We know this one from the inside. Burnout and perfectionism aren’t just something we treat. Some of us have lived them, some more than others. And all of us are committed to being anti-burnout: for ourselves, for our practice, and for you.
Do I have to be “burned out enough” to come in? No. You don’t have to hit the wall first.
Is this only for work burnout? No. Caregiving, parenting, chronic illness, masking, and being the family fixer can all wear you down the same way.
Should I take the burnout quiz first? You can. It’s free, and it names which of four patterns is most likely driving your burnout. You don’t have to take it to reach out.
What if I’m neurodivergent? Autistic and ADHD burnout are real, and we know them well. See our neurodivergent therapy page.
Can I do this online? Yes. We see clients in person in Suwanee and online anywhere in Georgia.
Do you take insurance? We’re private pay, which gives us independence from insurance requirements. We provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement, and FSA/HSA cards can be used. Each therapist’s rate is on their profile.
You don’t have to earn rest by falling apart first.
