Therapy for Work Stress & Burnout
Work stress can drain energy, blur focus, and seep into home life. Therapy helps translate the stress and guide a return to what matters.
Burnout is a signal, not a failure.
THERAPY HELPS TRANSLATE THE SIGNAL AND GUIDE SUSTAINABLE CHANGE.
As pressure eases, rest, presence, and choice have room to grow.
Daily strain can creep into exhaustion that sleep doesn’t fix, edgy or flat mood, and foggy focus. It may look like Sunday dread, over-functioning to keep up, or numb scrolling late at night. Many notice perfectionism, eroding boundaries, or saying yes when the body says no. These strategies help things move—yet over time they drain capacity and make life feel smaller.
We treat burnout as information, approached gently. The work centers on settling the nervous system, clarifying boundaries, and finding a sustainable rhythm that safeguards well-being. Integrative support can include EMDR for work stress, somatic grounding to settle the body, and restorative micro-routines that rebuild energy, focus, and self-trust.
HELP WITH WORK STRESS, BURNOUT, OVERWHELM
Work Stress & Burnout Therapy That Meets You Where You Are
How we help. Care at Catherine Alvarado, LMFT & Associates is strengths-based and consent-led. Sessions move at a calm pace to understand what pressure is asking for—where limits blur, what still needs protection, and what restores capacity. With gentle practice—nervous-system regulation, values-guided boundaries, and humane pacing—work becomes more workable and energy begins to return. Integrative support may include EMDR therapy, somatic grounding to settle the body, and restorative routines that rebuild focus and steadiness.
Accessible, steady support. Services are available in Redondo Beach and online across California for individuals, couples, and families. Flexible formats offer relief from chronic stress while building durable habits of clarity, boundaries, and sustainable rhythm that carry into home, work, and community life.
