Burnout Therapy for Women

Licensed Clinical Social Worker


Burnout is something I support clients through—because it’s something I’ve known myself.. If you’re a woman feeling stuck, emotionally fried, and disconnected from the person you are, you’re not alone. Therapy will help.

Women Come To Me For Burnout Therapy When They’re:

  • the kind of tiredness that sleep can’t fix.

  • lost motivation, feel disconnected, and dread the day before it starts.

  • not sure what’s next, but know you’re not there

  • doom-scrolling to feel something

  • joy feels out of reach.

It’s not laziness. Burnout is a whisper (or maybe a yell): something’s not working anymore.

BURNOUT THERAPY WITH ME

At first, we’ll start small. A nourishing habit. A gentle shift. One part of your life that can feel more sustainable, more aligned. Change begets change. And we’ll explore:

-What fills you up (and what silently drains you)

-The parts of you that push too hard or expect too much, and where those come from

-How to reconnect with creativity, curiosity, and pleasure 

-How to stop living on autopilot and bring in purpose

Therapeutic Techniques I Use

My approach weaves together:

  • Helps you identify the different “parts” of yourself (like the overachiever or the inner critic) that might be driving burnout.

  • Addresses the unhelpful thought patterns and beliefs that can perpetuate stress & overwhelm. Through CBT techniques, you’ll learn to reframe negative thinking and develop healthier coping strategies that support lasting change.

  • Focuses on caring for and re-parenting the younger parts of yourself that may still feel stuck, unseen, or unheard. By acknowledging these early needs and emotions, you build deeper self-compassion and free yourself from old patterns

  • Teaches you how your body responds to stress and why burnout can feel so overwhelming. With tools like grounding exercises and breathwork, you learn to calm your fight-or-flight response and regain balance

After Burnout Therapy My Clients Report:

  • More aligned with who they really are—not who they were told to be

  • Boundaries that feel firm & compassionate, without guilt

  • Confidence in saying no

  • Creativity that feels alive again

  • A softer inner voice, less driven by perfection or fear

Hey, I’m Michela

People come to me for help with anxiety, burnout, trauma, and relational challenges. I offer in person & online therapy for adults seeking deeper insight, emotional relief, and a more authentic connection to themselves.

Therapy with me is both insight-driven and grounding. We’ll go deep, but at your pace, it will never be overwhelming. I’ve been told by clients and colleagues that working with me feels different: more personal, more intuitive, and often, more effective.

I believe in therapy that not only helps you heal from the past but also empowers you to live more fully in the present.

Before private practice, I worked in community mental health settings, hospitals, and crisis support services in both Los Angeles and New York City. These experiences sharpened my ability to meet people in complex, high-intensity moments and to do it with compassion.

You Deserve to Be Seen For More Than Your Productivity 

So many of the women I work with are natural givers. 

The caretakers, the overachievers, the ones who hold it all together. But when your own cup is dry, it’s time to stop pouring.

You deserve a space that’s truly yours. One where your feelings, needs, and questions aren’t too much. Therapy doesn’t have to be heavy to be transformative. We’ll laugh, be curious, and build something real together.
