What I treat · Stress & burnout
Stress and burnout therapy across Wisconsin.
Stress is what your nervous system does when something is asking too much of it for too long. Burnout is what happens when that goes on past the point of return. Both are workable.
Most of the stress and burnout I see in adult clients is not from one bad week. It is from years of pushing through, of being the one who handles things, of having a job or a family or a caregiving role that has slowly added more than it has subtracted.
Burnout responds well to therapy, and slowly. The fast part is naming it accurately. The slow part is undoing the patterns that produced it.
How we work on it
We slow things down. We name what is here, including what your stress is protecting you from feeling. We look at the patterns. We try out small changes between sessions. The work is partly about reducing the load and partly about changing your relationship to the load you cannot put down.
Burnout is not weakness. It is what happens when you keep paying a tax you did not realize you were paying.
What to do next
If burnout is the word that fits, the next step is to schedule the consultation or intake session. We talk through what you're carrying and whether weekly therapy fits.
Common questions
Things people ask before reaching out.
Is burnout the same as depression?
They overlap and they are not the same. We sort out which is which at the first session.
Do you bill insurance?
Yes. BadgerCare, Medicaid, Medicare, and the major commercial carriers bill cleanly. Self-pay is $125. The full list lives on the insurance and fees page.
