Stress and Burnout Therapy in Chicago & Illinois

You’ve been holding it all together—but inside, you’re running on empty.

Stress can feel like it never stops—like a heavy weight you can’t put down. You wake up already tired, your mind racing with everything you need to get done. You push through for work, family, and responsibilities—but inside, you feel exhausted and on edge.

The truth? Burnout isn’t weakness. It’s your body’s way of telling you it can’t keep running on fumes. And you don’t have to do this alone.

How Stress & Burnout Therapy Can Help You

When life feels unmanageable, therapy can help you breathe again.

✔ Sleep without dreading tomorrow’s to-do list
✔ Ease headaches, muscle tension, and fatigue
✔ Set boundaries without guilt
✔ Prevent burnout before it takes over
✔ Feel grounded, calmer, and more like yourself again

Signs You Might Be Burned Out

Does any of this feel familiar?

  • Waking up already exhausted

  • Headaches, muscle tension, or stomach issues

  • Trouble falling or staying asleep

  • Irritability, anxiety, or always feeling “on edge”

  • Feeling detached or checked out from loved ones

  • Losing interest in things you used to enjoy

  • Feeling like you can never catch up—no matter how hard you try

If these sound like your daily reality, you’re not failing—you’re burned out. And therapy can help you recover.

Why Stress Feels So Heavy

Maybe you’ve told yourself to “just push through” like everyone else seems to. But stress isn’t just in your head—it shows up in your body, your emotions, and your relationships.

And when you finally have a moment to rest? Your body won’t let you. The headaches, tight shoulders, upset stomach, racing heart—it feels like stress is living inside you.

Therapy can help you break the cycle by giving you tools that actually work for your life—not just quick fixes that don’t last.
