How Therapy Helps Entrepreneurs
Therapy for Entrepreneurs is just like any other mental health therapy, except there is an emphasized focus on an individual’s career life.
Therapy for Entrepreneurs, a catch-all term, can support anyone who has a career, or a long-term professional journey often based on a passion or calling. This includes business professionals, executives, and, of course, entrepreneurs, as well as other people in positions of leadership. These titles often have specific challenges, and navigating them on a day-to-day basis can trigger emotional barriers, push boundaries to extremes, and seep into personal roles at home. Not surprisingly, experiencing issues at-home can also affect how an individual manages their work responsibilities, motivation, and goals.
This specialized therapy is not about financial or business advice or career guidance related to choosing a career. We won’t be looking at your bank accounts, budgets, financial reports, or the like. I won’t be advising or setting up investments or retirement plans for you. We won’t be evaluating your interests and skills to see what new career fields you would align with.
Therapy for Entrepreneurs is about supporting new and established entrepreneurs and executives in becoming the best professional version of themselves possible. It is about redefining success and achievement based on your values. It is therapy to address the stress, anxiety, and burnout that crushes your motivation and passion. It can support you in determining how to make your business or career work for you, just as much as you are working for it.
This specialized therapy helps you to think, feel, communicate, and behave towards money in healthier and more sustainable ways. Therapy for Entrepreneurs allows you to effectively battle Imposter Syndrome, or feelings of “fraud” in achievements, so you can truly enjoy the fruits of your labor. It helps you to feel clear and empowered in your decision-making, communication, and boundaries. It can provide clarity on what fulfills you about your career, and if it is possible to create something that would better align with who you are.
This therapy guides you to think about your self-worth in relation to achievements differently, allowing you more freedom to ask for what you need, rest and take time off, create a schedule that balances your personal life, and to build something fucking incredible. Therapy for Entrepreneurs transforms your career trajectories, just as much as it challenges your growth towards a more authentic and enjoyable personal life.
Working through these concerns with a therapist who understands the complexities of these roles can provide enormous benefits intrinsically, professionally, and relationally. Given the specialized nature of this therapy, you want to feel secure, open, and excited, which means having a clinician that gets it at a deeper level.
