Therapy for High-Performing, Professional Women in Scarsdale, New York
prioritizing mental health for career and personal success
As a high performing, ambitious, professional woman, you face a unique set of challenges that can impact your mental and emotional well-being. From high-pressure work environments to the juggling of multiple responsibilities, the demands of your life can leave you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or burnt out.
You're used to having high expectations and pushing yourself to the limit. There are parts of you that struggle with needing to be the best, to be as perfect as they come, and to do it all. There are also moments that no matter how well you perform or how much you achieve, imposter syndrome sneaks in from time to time.
You are exhausted of all the work you put into making sure you, your boss, and your company looks good. Even though your entire professional career has built you for this, you are starting to feel the wear and tear on your body, your mental health, your family, and your relationships. Although you’ve always been really proud of how much hard work and sacrifice you have endured in order to achieve your level of success, you are now realizing that you want to live and work differently but don’t know how. You used to take pride in not needing anyone or asking for help but this every day life for you feels unattainable- no one can keep up this way, not even you, no matter how much you try. You’re not sure if true work-life balance is actually attainable but you know that in your case, something has got to give.
In many cases, shame is often what’s driving the desire to work so hard and excel at such high standards for professional and executive women. The fear of what it would feel like to just be average or to be seen as average is usually rooted in having experienced an overwhelming upbringing, high expectations from parents, and colonized views of success and hardwork. All of these experiences are deeply personal and are best explored with a trauma-informed therapist.

It’s time to give therapy a chance with the right therapist for you
I’ve heard it all when it comes to why ambitious and driven professional women and executives put off going to therapy. Even though you are stressed out to the max, highly anxious, and managing symptoms of trauma, there are a number of reasons why you might not go to therapy.
You don’t have time.
You don’t think therapy will help.
You don’t want to uncover a Pandora’s box and not know how to deal with it when there’s already so much on your plate.
I totally get all of that AND I’m here to tell you that now is still the best time to get started with therapy anyway.
You more than anyone know that sometimes we do things not because we want to, but because we need to. And trust me, you need to AND time is of the essence. Stop wondering why yoga, meditation, and your supplements are not working for you as stand-alone support right now. If you use these things as bandaids, or as distractions, instead or getting to the the core of your struggles, they won’t work. Stop putting off therapy and leaving it on the bottom of your to-do list. Every day that you spend struggling mentally and emotionally is a day that you could be living your best life and excelling in your career.
Ask about EMDR Intensives
EMDR therapy intensives were created for busy professionals like you who want to use their time efficiently and see faster results. EMDR therapy intensives allow you to receive several hours of therapy in a single day, making it easier for busy professionals and executives to fit therapy into their schedules.
