Burnout Therapy for Women in Texas

For the woman everyone leans on, who is running on empty.

Does this sound familiar?

 

From the outside, you're handling it. You're the one people call, the one who keeps things running at work and at home. On the inside, it feels different:

  • You wake up already tired, no matter how much you sleep.

  • Things you used to care about now feel flat, or like one more task.

  • You're shorter with people than you want to be, then you feel guilty about it.

  • Rest feels impossible, or it comes with a side of guilt.

  • You say yes when you mean no, because someone has to do it.

  • You're carrying work, kids, a partner, and maybe aging parents, and there's no one carrying you.

 

Burnout isn't a personal failure

Burnout is what happens when stress keeps coming and recovery never does. It isn't a sign that you're weak or doing something wrong. More often, it's a sign that you've been strong for too long without support.

 

For many women, and especially women of color, there's an added layer: being the first or the only in the room, code-switching all day, and carrying the expectation that you'll hold it together no matter what. That weight is real, and it belongs in the therapy room.

How we'll work together

Therapy for burnout isn't about squeezing in more self-care. It's about understanding why you've been running on empty and building a life that can actually hold you. Together, we'll:

  • Name what's draining you, including the patterns that are easy to miss when you're in survival mode.

  • Look at over-functioning and people-pleasing, where they came from, and what they cost you now.

  • Practice boundaries that feel doable in your real life, at work and at home.

  • Quiet the inner critic using a shame-resilience approach, so rest stops feeling like failure.

  • Reconnect with what matters to you, beyond what everyone else needs from you.

Burnout can overlap with depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and physical changes like thyroid or hormonal shifts. If it would help, I may suggest checking in with your doctor so we're looking at the whole picture.

 

When you're caring for everyone

Many of the women I work with are in the "sandwich generation," raising children while caring for aging parents, often while building a career. Caregiver burnout has its own mix of love, grief, resentment, and guilt. You don't have to sort through it alone.

 

What to expect

  • A free 15-minute consultation to talk about what's going on and whether we're a good fit.

  • Virtual sessions by secure video from home, your office, or anywhere private in Texas.

  • Weekly or every-other-week sessions, depending on what you need.

  • Therapy intensives if you'd rather have focused, uninterrupted time on one concern. Ask about them during your consultation.

 

Fees and insurance

In-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, Aetna, and Baylor Scott & White. Private pay: $175 per 60-minute session. Superbills are available if you want to seek out-of-network reimbursement.

Frequently asked questions

 

Is burnout a diagnosis?

Burnout itself isn't a medical diagnosis, but it's very real, and it often shows up alongside anxiety, depression, or exhaustion that therapy can help with. We'll start with what you're experiencing, not a label.

 

Do I have to quit my job or step back from caregiving?

No. Most women I work with aren't looking to walk away from their lives. They want a way to live them without running on empty. Any big decisions are yours to make, in your own time.

 

Can I use my insurance?

Yes, if you have one of the plans listed above. Insurance requires a diagnosis on your record, so some clients choose private pay instead. We can talk through both options during your consultation.

 

Do I need to live in Texas?

You need to be physically located in Texas during each session.
