Burnout & Stress Therapy in Ottawa

When pressure at work or at home goes on too long, it can leave you exhausted, irritable and running on empty. Burnout affects your body, your mood and your relationships, and rest alone doesn't always fix it. Therapy can help you understand what's draining you and find a more sustainable way forward.

Signs of Burnout

  • Feeling exhausted even after rest

  • Dreading work or feeling detached from it

  • Irritability, impatience or a shorter fuse at home

  • Headaches, poor sleep or getting sick more often

  • Feeling less effective or less like yourself

  • Compassion fatigue from caring for others, at work or at home

How Therapy Can Help

Therapy helps you identify the sources of stress, set boundaries that protect your energy, and build coping strategies that fit your real life. Burnout often spills into relationships, so we also work with couples and families. We offer support for workplace and career challenges, caregivers, and therapy for other mental health professionals.
