Therapy from a provider who understands your workplace stress, burnout, and vicarious trauma
Therapy for Helping Professionals, Leaders & High-Functioning Adults Who Are Tired of Performing
When Work Stops Feeling Sustainable
Workplace stress sometimes looks like:
Constant mental exhaustion
Difficulty sleeping even when you’re tired
Snapping at people you care about
Feeling emotionally numb
Dreading emails or meetings
Perfectionism that never turns off
A quiet resentment you can’t name
You may still be high-performing. But inside, you feel depleted.
Therapy is not about helping you “push through.” It’s about helping you understand why your nervous system is overloaded and how to restore capacity without abandoning your ambition.
You’re competent. Responsible. Reliable.
You show up.
Even when you’re exhausted.
Even when the country feels heavy.
Even when your body is running on fumes.
In a world where everything feels like a performance, you still go to work and pretend you’re okay.
At The Holistic Living Co., we provide workplace stress, burnout, and vicarious trauma therapy in North Carolina for adults who are tired of always being “on.”
You Deserve to Be Human
You are allowed to be affected by what is happening around you.
You are allowed to need support.
You are allowed to stop pretending.
Workplace stress therapy in can help you move from survival mode into steadier ground, where you can show up fully without disappearing yourself.
Our work together may focus on:
Untangling identity from productivity
Addressing perfectionism and over-functioning
Processing moral injury or institutional harm
Developing boundaries that are sustainable
Redefining success in a way that protects your well-being and is in alignment with your values and purpose
This is not about becoming less driven.
It’s about becoming regulated enough to sustain your life.
Vicarious Trauma & Compassion Fatigue
If you work in helping professions — therapy, healthcare, education, social services, nonprofit leadership, advocacy, or community organizing; you may be carrying more than your own stress.
Vicarious trauma happens when repeated exposure to others’ pain, trauma, or crisis begins to impact your own nervous system.
You might notice:
Increased anxiety or hypervigilance
Emotional shutdown
Feeling cynical or detached
Guilt for needing rest
Personalizing the trauma you hear about (e.g., you image those incidents happening to you or a loved one)
A sense that you must stay strong for everyone else
Difficulty separating work from home life
And in the middle of political tension, systemic violence, and uncertainty across the country, you may feel like you have no choice but to keep functioning, even when it feels impossible.
