Does this sound familiar?

The tank that used to refill over a weekend does not refill anymore.

The dread starts Sunday afternoon and sits in your chest by evening. The tank that used to refill over a weekend does not refill anymore, and Monday arrives with you already behind. You are short with the people you love and then guilty about it. Your body aches in ways you cannot quite explain, and even when you are exhausted, sleep will not come or will not hold.

You are going through the motions, and the motions are most of what is left. You used to care about things, and now caring feels like one more thing you do not have the energy for. You keep telling yourself you just need a vacation, a better routine, a little discipline. You have tried those. They help for about a week.

Burnout is not a character flaw and it is not something you can will your way out of. It builds in the body and the nervous system as much as the mind. That is exactly where good stress and burnout therapy meets it, and that is where the work begins here.

What we offer

Stress and burnout therapy for adults running on empty.

The always-on professional

Work has quietly taken everything. The reserves a weekend never quite refills, and Monday already feels behind.

Sleep that breaks at 3am

Exhausted but wired. The 3am wake-ups, the mind that will not switch off, the rest that never quite restores.

Stress that lives in the body

The clenched jaw, the shoulders up around the ears, the stomach that knots before the workday even begins.

The caregiver with nothing left over

Everyone else gets the best of you. By the end of the day there is nothing left, and tomorrow asks for it again.

Going through the motions

The motions are most of what is left. Caring feels like one more thing you do not have the energy for.

Stress alongside anxiety or low mood

Worry that will not switch off, or a flatness that has lingered. Stress rarely travels alone, and the same team treats both.

First-time-therapy adults are welcome. You do not need to be in crisis, and you do not need a diagnosis, to deserve some of your energy back.

Our approach

How stress and burnout therapy works here.

We treat burnout as a whole-body state, looking at your sleep, your body, your energy and your thinking together rather than talk in isolation.

1

Reach out

A short form or a call. We hear what is going on, where your reserves are going, and what you have already tried. No assessment battery to clear before we talk.

2

Get matched

We pair you with a therapist whose approach fits how your stress actually shows up. Body-heavy stress lands with a clinician who works with the nervous system. Work and career strain lands with someone who focuses on it. You see the same therapist each session for continuity.

3

Start this week

First appointment in person at one of three Seattle-area offices or by secure video anywhere in Washington, with Saturday hours if a weekday is impossible. The early sessions are about understanding where your reserves are going and giving you something practical to work with, not overhauling your whole life in week one.

The approach

Why a whole-body lens.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, an evidence-based approach for stress that the American Psychological Association describes, is broadly available across our team. For people whose stress sits heavily in the body, we have therapists who work with body-based, nervous-system regulation. Burnout was never only in your head, and a plan that ignores the body tends to fade by the second hard week.

CBT for skills and changing your relationship to chronic pressure. Body-based and nervous-system work for the stress that lives in your sleep, your jaw and your gut. EMDR when older pressure sits underneath. DBT skills for the days that feel like too much at once. We match the approach to how your stress actually shows up, not the other way around.

A solo therapist can give you real continuity, and many do excellent work. What we add is taking your insurance, getting you in this week with Saturday options, and treating burnout where it actually lives, in the body and the nervous system, not just the thoughts.

Frequently asked questions

What adults ask before starting stress and burnout therapy.

What is the difference between stress and burnout?

Stress is the pressure you feel under load, while burnout is the depleted state that builds when that pressure never lets up. The key difference is recovery: burnout does not lift with a weekend off the way ordinary stress can. The World Health Organization frames burnout as an occupational phenomenon, and it often travels alongside anxiety or low mood.

Can therapy actually help with burnout?

Yes. Talk therapy is a recognized, evidence-based approach for stress and burnout, and the American Psychological Association describes how it helps people change their relationship to chronic pressure. We work with the whole picture, your sleep, your body, your energy and your thinking, rather than the to-do list alone. We cannot promise a specific outcome, but you do not have to white-knuckle it.

Do you take my insurance for stress and burnout therapy?

We accept Kaiser, Premera, Regence, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare and Cigna. We will confirm what your specific plan covers before your first session, so you know what to expect rather than guessing. Burnout is a valid, covered reason to start therapy, and you do not have to be in crisis to come in.

How soon can I be seen?

First appointments are available the same week, not weeks out, and we hold Saturday hours for people who cannot get away on a weekday. Much of the Seattle market books four to six weeks ahead or is cash-pay only. Reach out and we will find the first opening that works for you, in person or by secure video.

Do you treat work and career stress?

Yes. Career and work-related stress is one of the most common reasons adults start therapy, and our team includes clinicians who focus on it, from the always-on professional to the person rethinking what work should cost them. We treat it as a real, workable issue, and we can connect it with depression therapy when the strain has tipped into low mood, not something you should just be able to push through.

Do you offer stress and burnout therapy online or only in person?

Both. You can meet in person at our Green Lake, Burien or Smokey Point offices, or by secure video anywhere in Washington with online therapy, with the same therapist either way. Between telehealth and Saturday hours, starting can fit into a schedule that is already full, instead of becoming one more thing you cannot get to.

Where are your offices?

We see clients at three offices: Green Lake in Seattle, Burien and Smokey Point in Arlington, plus secure video sessions anywhere in Washington. The Green Lake office serves North Seattle, the Burien office serves South King County and the Smokey Point office serves north Snohomish County. You can also meet entirely online if that is easier.

Take the next step

You do not have to keep running on a tank that never refills.

Stress and burnout therapy can help you rebuild your reserves and feel more like yourself, and you can start this week, on a weekday or a Saturday. Counseling Services for Wellbeing accepts most major insurance plans, books first appointments the same week, and matches you with a therapist who treats burnout as a whole-body state, in person at our Green Lake, Burien and Smokey Point offices or by secure video across Washington.
