Therapy for Young Professionals
You’ve Built a Career—But At What Cost to Your Wellbeing?
At Dragonfly, our therapists offer a real, down-to-earth space where you can be yourself — no judgment, no pressure. We focus on building a relationship based on trust and meeting you where you’re at, so you feel truly heard and supported from the very first session.
Do You Feel Like You’re Running on Empty,
Even While Succeeding on the Surface?
You’ve poured your time, energy, and heart into your work—whether that’s serving others as a nurse, managing a classroom of students, handling the pressure of a high achieving career in law or accounting or building something from the ground up as an entrepreneur or at a start-up. You’re intelligent, capable, and driven.
But lately, it may feel like something is cracking beneath the surface.
Maybe you go through the motions each day, pushing past the headaches, fatigue, or irritability because you believe there’s no room to slow down. You might find yourself constantly exhausted, emotionally drained, or wondering if this is really what success is supposed to feel like. At times, it may feel like your identity is tied entirely to your role—leaving little space for rest, joy, or simply being.
You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. You’re likely burned out.
If your work has started to cost you your mental health, relationships, or sense of self, therapy can give you the space to reconnect with what matters most—and to feel like you again.
Burnout Is More Common Than You Think—
If you feel overworked, emotionally numb, or disconnected from the passion you once had for your career, you are not alone. Women in high-stakes and emotionally demanding fields are especially vulnerable to burnout. These careers often involve long hours, high expectations, and very little room to pause or express how hard things really are.
In many workplaces, there’s pressure to stay composed, say yes, and go above and beyond—often at the expense of your own wellbeing. Over time, that constant push can lead to chronic stress, compassion fatigue, anxiety, and even depression. And because many women are also balancing caregiving roles, relationships, or perfectionistic tendencies, the emotional toll can multiply quickly.
Therapy offers a place where you don’t have to explain it all, justify your exhaustion, or pretend you’re okay. You’re not alone, and you don’t have to keep pushing through. Support is available—and it can make a real difference.
Therapy can help you recover from burnout and reconnect with yourself
At Dragonfly, we support young professional women who are doing incredible things—and quietly struggling behind the scenes. You don’t need to give up your goals to feel better. Instead, therapy can help you realign with your values, protect your energy, and learn to thrive without burning out.
In therapy, we’ll work together to:
- Identify the sources of burnout and understand how it’s affecting your life
- Set healthy boundaries without guilt
- Process chronic stress, anxiety, and the emotional weight of your work
- Rebuild self-worth that isn’t tied to productivity or perfectionism
- Clarify your values and redefine what success looks like for you
- Learn coping tools to manage the day-to-day and restore your energy over time
Our therapists draw from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive
Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and
somatic strategies to help you regulate stress and reconnect with your body. We also take a feminist and trauma-informed lens—understanding the social, systemic, and emotional complexities that women often navigate in professional life.
You are allowed to care deeply, work hard, and still prioritize you.
Whether you’re facing classic burnout symptoms or just feeling stuck in a loop of striving and surviving, you deserve support that meets you where you are.
Our female psychologists understand the unique challenges women face.
We’re here to support you through it all—with warmth, honesty, and real connection.
Let’s start with a free 20-minute phone consult.
No pressure, no commitment—just a chance to talk, ask questions, and see if we’re the right fit for you.

But Have Some Questions...
What if I don't have time for therapy with my busy schedule?
We offer flexible scheduling options, including virtual sessions and evening appointments, to accommodate the demands of your profession. Therapy is designed to support your life, not add more stress to it.
How do I know if I’m burned out or just tired?
Burnout often includes more than fatigue—it may involve emotional exhaustion, irritability, detachment from work, difficulty concentrating, or a sense of hopelessness. If you're feeling disconnected from yourself or your purpose, therapy can help you sort through it.
How is Dragonfly different from other therapy practices?
We focus exclusively on supporting women and teen girls, which means we deeply understand the unique challenges you face. Our approach is tailored to women navigating high expectations and burnout—and we’re committed to creating a therapeutic space where you feel understood, not judged.
Will therapy require me to make huge life changes?
Not necessarily. Often, small shifts in mindset, boundaries, and self-care can have a significant impact. Your therapist will work collaboratively with you to explore sustainable changes that align with your life and goals.
