Therapy for Business Owners and Executives
High performance deserves high-level support
When you lead, the margin for error shrinks and the pressure compounds—P&L targets, board visibility, payroll, key hires, a family that still needs the best of you after 7 p.m. Therapy for CEOs—done well—is not a soft landing. It’s a strategic advantage: a discreet space to calibrate your nervous system, sharpen judgment, and align decisions with what actually matters.
I’m not only a therapist. I’ve run and sold businesses. I understand growth curves, exits, culture risk, and the reality that time is the scarcest asset you manage. I speak your language, and I bring both clinical depth and strategic fluency to every session.
Specific value you can expect
- Faster, clearer decisions under pressure with less cognitive noise
- A noticeably lower stress load and steadier emotional regulation
- A leadership presence that reads confident and congruent
- Healthier home dynamics with clearer boundaries and fewer escalations
- Less executive overfunctioning as you delegate, protect deep work, and reclaim time
- Stamina that comes from capacity building—not white-knuckle endurance
How we work (built for your bandwidth)
My engagements are efficient and discreet. I offer targeted sessions (50–75 minutes) when you need cadence, strategic intensives (90–180 minutes) when you need depth, and retainer or on-call support when you need a trusted ally between meetings or while traveling. Sessions are virtual or in person, scheduled to protect your calendar and confidentiality.
The culture you operate in is different. I account for that.
High visibility, asymmetric responsibility, confidentiality constraints, travel fatigue, wealth dynamics, and a public-success/private-cost profile shape behavior and relationships. I work with those realities directly and without pathologizing ambition. The goal isn’t to make you smaller; it’s to make you more precise, resourced, and human in how you lead.
Core focus areas
Executive anxiety, agitation, and sleep disruption. Decision paralysis, risk-tolerance calibration, and performance blocks. Perfectionism, imposter dynamics, and shame loops. Co-founder conflict, board dynamics, and stakeholder communication. Work–home spillover across intimacy, parenting, and repair after strain. High-performers navigating substance use/abuse or behavioral patterns that have outgrown their usefulness. If it touches your leadership or your relationships, it’s in scope.
Methods that match the moment
I combine evidence-informed approaches with plain language and direct feedback. EMDR helps move performance blocks and unprocessed stress that won’t yield to logic. Somatic and breath-based tools provide rapid down-regulation you can access in hallways and boardrooms. Cognitive and behavioral strategies simplify choices and protect focus. Attachment and differentiation work strengthens firm boundaries without unnecessary rupture. And I translate it all into leadership micro-practices—agenda discipline, meeting hygiene, decision logs, repair scripts at home—that compound over time.
Why this works
You think in systems and strategies. So do I. I treat mind, body, and business as an integrated system, map patterns, remove friction, and design responses that are effective, repeatable, and values-aligned. The output is not insight alone—it’s behavior changes you (and the people around you) can feel.
Discreet. Direct. Results-oriented.
If you want a therapist who will simply listen, I’m probably not the right fit. If you want executive counseling from a strategic partner who will challenge you, protect your focus, and help you level up without burning out, let’s talk.
I provide therapy for business owners—whether you’re running a startup, scaling a company, or managing a small business. If you’ve been searching for therapy for small business owners, counseling for executives, or therapy for business owners near me, this practice was built specifically for leaders like you.
You’re still in charge—you just don’t have to carry it alone.
