Even positive changes can be stressful.

Marriage, divorce, becoming a parent, children leaving home, moving, changing jobs, retirement, caregiving responsibilities and changes within your family can require significant emotional adjustment.

Other times, there is no single major event. Stress builds gradually as you manage responsibilities at work, home and in your relationships.

Individual therapy gives you dedicated time to step away from those demands and focus on your own well-being. Together with your therapist, you can explore what is contributing to your stress, identify patterns that may no longer be serving you and develop strategies for navigating challenges more effectively.

Pathway Work Stress

Therapy for Work Stress, Career Challenges and Burnout

For many adults, work is one of the largest sources of day-to-day stress.

A difficult boss. Conflict with coworkers. An unhealthy workplace culture. Increasing responsibilities. Fear of losing your job. Pressure to perform. Starting a new position. Questioning your career path. Trying to manage a demanding career while also being present for your family.

Work-related stress can extend well beyond the workplace and affect your sleep, relationships, mood, confidence and overall quality of life.

Therapy can provide a private place to process workplace and career challenges and develop healthier ways to manage them. Depending on your situation, counseling may help you work on boundaries, communication, stress management, decision-making, confidence, coping skills and work-life balance.

You may not be able to control your boss, coworkers or everything happening at work. Therapy can help you focus on what you can control and determine how you want to move forward.

You Don't Need to Be in Crisis to Talk to a Therapist

One of the most common misconceptions about counseling is that something has to be seriously wrong before you seek help. It doesn't.

Therapy can be helpful when you are struggling, but it can also be useful when you want greater self-awareness, healthier relationships, better coping skills or support while making an important life decision.

You might consider talking with a therapist if you find yourself thinking:

  • "I'm overwhelmed all the time."
  • "Work is taking over my life."
  • "I can't stop thinking about this."
  • "I'm having a hard time adjusting to everything that's changing."
  • "I'm stressed and taking it out on the people around me."
  • "I don't feel like myself lately."
  • "I need someone objective to talk to."
  • "I know something needs to change, but I don't know where to start."

You don't need to have the answer before coming to therapy. Figuring out what is happening and what you want to do next can be part of the process.
