How do I know if I’m burned out or just stressed?

Burnout often looks like exhaustion, disconnection, and loss of motivation that don’t improve with rest. If that sounds familiar, support can help.

Why do I feel like I should be able to handle this on my own?

Many of us were taught to push through. Chronic stress isn’t a personal failure—it’s a signal your mind and body need care, not more pressure.

Can therapy actually lower my stress day to day?

Yes. With support, you can understand your stress patterns and build practical tools—like boundaries, regulation skills, and recovery routines—that reduce overwhelm.

What if I’ve been in survival mode for years?

It’s still possible to feel better. Step by step, therapy helps your nervous system learn safer rhythms so you can find balance again.

Therapy for Stress & Burnout That Helps You Find Balance Again

Stress is part of life — but when it becomes constant, it can take over your health, relationships, and joy. Our trauma-trained therapists provide compassionate, neuroaffirming therapy to help you slow down, reset, and heal.

Our Stress and Burnout Therapy Approach

Does this sound like you?

Feeling constantly overwhelmed or “on edge”
Struggling to juggle work, family, and personal needs
Exhausted but unable to rest or relax
Quick to irritability, frustration, or emotional outbursts
Wondering how much longer you can keep going like this

If this feel familiar, therapy can help you find relief and restore balance.

Our Approach to Stress & Burnout Therapy

We’ll work together to:

Understand the sources of your stress and how they impact your nervous system
Learn regulation tools that bring calm in moments of overwhelm
Explore boundaries and patterns like perfectionism or people-pleasing
Rebuild energy, self-compassion, and balance
Create strategies for sustainable well-being in work, relationships, and daily life

What to Expect

In your first session, we’ll:

Explore how stress and burnout are showing up in your life
Identify your goals — whether that’s more calm, better boundaries, or energy recovery
Build grounding tools you can start using right away

You’ll leave with a new sense of hope and a plan for moving forward.

When Stress Becomes Too Much

Stress itself isn’t bad — it’s how our bodies keep us alert and motivated. But when stress becomes unrelenting, it overwhelms the nervous system and can lead to burnout: exhaustion, disconnection, and a sense of hopelessness.

At Fika, we see stress and burnout not as personal failures, but as signs that your mind and body need care, boundaries, and support.

Modalities We Use

EMDR (for stress tied to trauma), ACT, Polyvagal-informed therapy, mindfulness, expressive arts, breathwork, attachment based, CBT, DBT skills, self-compassion approaches, Narrative therapy, and IFS and parts work (ego states).

Your therapist will let you know what they draw from.

You don’t have to push through alone.

Therapy can help you recover from burnout and find balance in your life again.
