Therapy designed for lawyers
Feel calmer, think more clearly, regain your confidence
we specialize in helping lawyers with:
burnout
Perfectionism
Perfectionism
You may appear to be managing everything on the surface, while internally feeling exhausted, disconnected, overwhelmed, or trapped in cycles of rumination, and self-doubt. You may push through stress until you hit burnout, oscillating between over-functioning and procrastination, unsure how to slow down without feeling guilty or unsafe. You may question whether taking a leave would be helpful.
Perfectionism
Perfectionism
Perfectionism
You may hold yourself to exceptionally high standards but you rarely feel like you’re enough. You may find yourself repeatedly reviewing emails, work products, or social interactions, worrying about mistakes, second-guessing yourself, or feeling unable to switch off. However, you work in a profession where perfectionism is rewarded so it’s hard to do something different.
anxiety
Perfectionism
The cost of always being “on” can be high. You may struggle with a mind that never seems to switch off, even when you’re exhausted. You may find yourself overthinking, ruminating, anticipating worst-case scenarios, or feeling constantly tense. You may have difficulty relaxing or falling or staying asleep.
depression / self doubt
relationships / attachment
You may feel exhausted, irritable, have difficulty focusing, and lose motivation. The pressure to keep performing at a high level can make it difficult to recognize how much you’ve been struggling. From the outside, you may appear capable and composed, while privately second-guessing your decisions and replaying conversations.
career uncertainty
relationships / attachment
relationships / attachment
Your identity, self worth, and confidence are often closely tied to your work and achievements. You may find yourself questioning whether your current path is sustainable or fulfilling. You may feel pressure to keep up even during major life transitions. You may have reached a point where your usual strategies, pushing harder, staying busy, or thinking things through alone have stopped working.
relationships / attachment
relationships / attachment
relationships / attachment
High pressure environments can intensify attachment patterns such as people-pleasing, fear of conflict, fear of abandonment, difficulty trusting others, and feeling responsible for everyone else’s needs. Or, you may find yourself emotionally exhausted, withdrawn, overly independent, reactive under stress, or struggling to be fully present with the people closest to you. Over time, this can lead to disconnection, resentment, loneliness, or recurring relationship challenges
