Treating Stress or Burnout with Therapy
In a city like New York, hustle is often worn like a badge of honor. But behind the packed calendars and professional wins, many high-achieving people are quietly burning out. If your relationship to work feels increasingly unsustainable—if you dread Monday mornings, feel emotionally drained, or question whether you can keep going—you’re not alone. At Silver Therapy Group, we specialize in therapy for career stress and burnout, helping professionals find clarity, balance, and renewed purpose.
Career stress is common, but chronic burnout is something else entirely. It can show up as cynicism, fatigue, difficulty focusing, or a persistent sense that you’re falling short no matter how much you accomplish. Burnout may stem from toxic work environments, impossible expectations, perfectionism, or systemic pressures like racism, ableism, or gender bias in the workplace. Therapy gives you the space to unpack these experiences, develop healthier boundaries, and explore what work could feel like when it’s not draining you.
Our therapists draw from a range of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based interventions. Together, we help you notice and shift the thought patterns, behaviors, and relational dynamics that reinforce overwork or erode self-worth. We also support you in addressing bigger questions: What does success mean to you now? What values do you want to align your time and energy with? What would a sustainable version of ambition look like?

Burnout isn’t just about exhaustion—it’s about a loss of meaning. Therapy can help you find it again.
Burnout can impact more than just your career—it can affect your physical health, emotional resilience, relationships, and sense of self. You don’t have to keep pushing through it. Silver Therapy Group offers burnout therapy in NYC that honors both your ambition and your humanity. Whether you’re looking to re-engage with your current role or rethink your career path entirely, we’re here to help you feel whole again. Reach out to schedule a consultation and start the process of realigning your work with your wellbeing.
