You’re Not Alone—Owning a Business Comes with Real Mental Health Challenges

Running a business isn't just a job—it’s a lifestyle. Entrepreneurs often face unique psychological stressors, including chronic uncertainty, financial risk, constant problem-solving, and leadership isolation. Entrepreneurs are often more likely than the general population to experience anxiety, depression, and burnout. And yet, many business owners push through without seeking support—until the stress becomes unmanageable.

You might find yourself losing interest in things you used to enjoy, experiencing strained relationships, or constantly feeling “on edge.” Maybe you're so focused on external success that you’ve neglected your inner wellbeing. Perhaps you feel like no one in your circle truly understands the weight you carry. These are common patterns—and you are not alone.

Therapy for entrepreneurs is specifically designed to address these challenges. Working with a therapist for business owners can help you identify unhelpful patterns, shift your mindset, and create space for more balance, clarity, and peace. The good news is, emotional wellness and business success are not mutually exclusive. You can thrive in both—with the right support.

Entrepreneur Therapy Can Help You Reclaim Confidence, Clarity, and Purpose

Whether you're launching a startup, leading a growing company, or managing a long-established business, entrepreneur therapy provides a personalized path toward emotional and psychological resilience. Through individual counseling, you’ll gain tools to manage stress, navigate personal challenges, and lead your business without losing yourself in the process.

In our work together, we’ll explore:

• The impact of chronic stress and decision fatigue

• The roots of self-criticism or perfectionism

• How leadership identity intersects with self-worth

• Burnout prevention and recovery

• Building boundaries that protect your time and energy

• Coping with imposter syndrome and fear of failure

• Developing mindfulness, self-compassion, and emotional regulation

As an individual therapist with experience supporting business owners, I tailor therapy to your unique goals and challenges. Some sessions might focus on executive stress and mental performance, while others address emotional patterns, relationships, or personal growth. I draw from evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and strengths-based strategies that help you build on what’s already working.

Most importantly, I provide a judgment-free space where you don’t have to lead, solve, or prove anything. You just get to be human—and begin the work of healing, reflecting, and growing.

Why Individual Counseling Is Especially Important for Entrepreneurs

When you're a business owner, your emotional state often directly affects your team, your vision, and your results. But more than that, it affects your ability to enjoy your life. You might notice that despite your accomplishments, something still feels off. You’re tired, irritable, disconnected, or just… numb.

That’s where individual therapy becomes essential. It helps you untangle your sense of identity from your productivity, clarify what actually matters, and move from reactive survival mode into intentional leadership and personal alignment.

As a therapist for individuals who own and run businesses, I’ve seen the profound transformation that happens when clients finally give themselves permission to invest in their own wellbeing. Therapy isn’t about fixing what’s broken—it’s about rediscovering your strength, purpose, and inner calm.

Whether you’re navigating burnout, relationship challenges, a major business transition, or just a sense of emptiness, entrepreneur therapy offers space to unpack the pressure and reconnect with yourself in meaningful ways.
