ONLINE THERAPY & COUNSELLING FOR HIGH ACHIEVING INDIVIDUALS IN CALIFORNIA
Learn how to manage chronic stress, overcome roadblocks & create a sustainable, fulfilling life.
You’ve built a successful life defined by hard work and achievement …
It’s taken a lot of long hours, high expectations, constant self-discipline & problem-solving.
Whether you’re a CEO, physician, attorney, entrepreneur or another driven professional, you might be noticing that the same qualities fueling your success (e.g. focus, discipline, ambition) are now leaving you feeling burned out, anxious and disconnected.
You may feel like you can’t slow down.
That if you’re not performing, producing or improving, you’re falling behind.
On the outside, it all looks great. But on the inside, something just feels off.
But it doesn’t have to be that way!
Therapy can offer space to pause the constant drive and reconnect with yourself, without the constant judgment, expectation or performance metrics you might be facing in your day-to-day life. .
Together, we’ll explore the stress, perfectionism and self-criticism that often come with high achievement and help you develop ways to move through life with more ease, meaning and balance.
WHERE I CAN HELP

Perfectionism and overachievement: never feeling satisfied despite having success

Isolation and loneliness: struggling to connect beneath the facade of composure
Irritability, anxiety or insomnia: your mind won’t turn off or let you relax/rest
Loss of meaning: wondering “why doesn’t this feel fulfilling anymore?”
Pressure to maintain an image: feeling like you can’t show weakness or slow down
External expectations & self-imposed standards: living for validation, not satisfaction

ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Justine Gordon, LMFT - your therapist for high achievers in California!
Hi, I’m Justine Gordon, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) offering online therapy for high achieving professionals across California who want to sustain success without sacrificing their mental and emotional health.
My approach blends evidence-based modalities (such as CBT, ACT, DBT, EFT and psychodynamic therapy) with warmth, humor and authenticity.
Clients describe me as thoughtful, intuitive and grounded. I believe therapy should feel both productive and deeply human – a space where you can drop the mask, explore honestly and reconnect with the parts of you that success alone can’t fulfill.
My own career path – from pre-med to creative arts to psychotherapy – taught me that achievement doesn’t always equal alignment. That’s why I value helping clients integrate their drive with their well-being and create a version of success that feels sustainable, not exhausting.
What you can expect from working with me
HOW IT WORKS
We will start with a thorough assessment and exploration of your personal history. This collaborative process ensures that we identify the most suitable treatment approaches tailored to your unique needs. Together, we’ll establish clear goals and develop a comprehensive plan, while leaving room to address any pressing concerns that may come up.
Your Free Consultation
We will begin our journey together with a free 20-minute consultation. During the call, you’ll have the opportunity to tell me about your situation, ask any questions and decide if I would be a good fit for you. This is a no-pressure and no-commitment opportunity to share what’s going on, get a sense of who I am and see if you’d like to work together.
Initial Assessment & Goal-Setting
Each session takes place online at a time that works for you and will be dedicated to progressing toward your goals, while blending the different evidence-based approaches that I use. Depending on where we are, a session might focus on exploration and insight, skill-building or real-life application, all within a safe, judgment-free space.
On-Going Therapy Sessions
Our work together is a partnership. We’ll regularly check in on your progress, adjust your plan as needed and reflect on what is and isn’t working. As you meet your goals, we’ll celebrate wins and decide on your next steps – whether that’s regular maintenance sessions or a thoughtful close with an action plan to help you keep your momentum on your own.
