Therapy for Burnout & Stress

Catherine Alvarado Therapy + EMDR is a holistic psychotherapy practice in Redondo Beach offering therapy for burnout, chronic stress, and emotional overwhelm that honors your whole nervous system. Burnout and chronic stress can leave people feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected from themselves, and stuck in patterns of pressure, over-functioning, or survival mode, often impacting relationships, self-worth, and overall well-being.

We offer holistic, integrative therapy rooted in deeper healing.

  • EMDR therapy, intensive EMDR, and adjunct EMDR for deeper trauma processing and nervous system healing.

  • Integrating somatic, experiential, and body-based approaches such as Somatic Experiencing, Gestalt therapy, and IFS/parts work.

  • Drawing from psychodynamic, attachment-focused, and relational approaches to support deeper emotional understanding and reflection.

  • Exploring personal narratives, identity, and meaning-making through collaborative and narrative-based work.
