Therapy for Burnout & Chronic Stress in Los Angeles, California
Virtual therapy to help ambitious adults in Los Angeles & California navigate burnout, chronic stress and the pressure to keep going while running on empty
If you’ve found your way here, chances are you’ve been carrying a lot for a long time.
Maybe you’re constantly pushing yourself to keep up with everything on your plate, telling yourself that once you get through this next phase, project or milestone, you’ll finally be able to slow down and breathe.
Or maybe the pressure has become so overwhelming that you feel mentally checked out, emotionally drained and unable to keep showing up the way you used to.
You might look high-functioning on the outside while internally feeling exhausted, disconnected or like you’re running on fumes. Even when you try to rest, your mind rarely slows down. There’s always something else you should be doing, fixing or staying on top of.
You may also find yourself ignoring your own needs, pushing past your limits or convincing yourself that burnout is just “part of the deal” if you want to succeed.
And underneath all of that is often a deeper fear: that if you stop pushing so hard, slow down or let people see that you’re struggling, everything you’ve worked for could start to fall apart.
DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
⟡ You feel mentally and emotionally exhausted no matter how much rest you get
⟡ You struggle to slow down without feeling guilty, anxious or unproductive
⟡ You keep pushing through stress because you feel like you have no other choice
⟡ You feel disconnected from yourself, your relationships or the parts of life you used to enjoy
⟡ You know you used to love the work you do but right now you just can’t seem to care anymore

⟡ You’ve become so used to functioning under pressure that you don’t even know what balance would feel like anymore

THE BENEFITS OF THERAPY
What starts to change when burnout and chronic stress stop controlling your life

MY APPROACH
Therapy for ambitious adults healing from burnout and chronic stress
My approach is warm, collaborative and focused on understanding what patterns caused the burnout to happen in the first place, not just helping you temporarily relieve the symptoms.
Chances are you are highly motivated and driven to reach your goals but have spent so long operating under pressure that stress and exhaustion have started to feel normal.
In our sessions, my hope is to help you understand the deeper patterns driving your burnout: the self-beliefs, the fears and the internal pressure that keep you stuck in overdrive and disconnected from your own needs. The goal isn’t to take away your ambition or to get you to stop caring about your goals. It’s to help you build a more sustainable relationship with success so you can continue moving forward without constantly running yourself into the ground.
ABOUT ME
Hi! I’m Justine Gordon, a therapist for burnout and chronic stress in Los Angeles, California!
I work with ambitious adults who feel burnt out and depleted by the chronic need to keep performing, producing and holding everything together.
Having grown up in a high-achieving environment myself, I understand how easily chronic stress and burnout can become normalized, especially when productivity and success start to shape your sense of identity and self-worth.
Over time, both personally and in my work with clients, I came to understand that burnout isn’t simply about “doing too much.” Often, it’s connected to deeper patterns around pressure, self-worth, fear and the belief that slowing down is somehow unsafe. This is the work I now help my clients do in therapy.
Aside from burnout & chronic stress, I also help clients navigate other patterns related to their ambition, such as perfectionism & people-pleasing, imposter syndrome, high-pressure careers, anxiety & overthinking as well as relationship challenges and postpartum challenges.
