Attachment-Based, Experiential Therapy for Ambitious Professionals and Entrepreneurs

At Our Kind Therapy, we work with people who are building something and quietly carrying more pressure than they expected.

You are not here because you lack drive, discipline, or intelligence. You are here because ambition, pressure, identity, and responsibility have begun to collide in ways that are no longer sustainable to carry alone.

For many high-performing professionals, entrepreneurs, founders, creatives, and leaders, work is not just what you do. It is where meaning, worth, stability, and future-building live. When something shifts, such as burnout, transition, conflict, doubt, or rapid growth, it rarely stays contained to work. It shows up in your body, your relationships, your sleep, and your sense of self.

This is where entrepreneurship and career therapy begin for people whose work and inner life are no longer separate, not as crisis management or career coaching, but as emotional recalibration through psychotherapy that addresses pressure, identity, and responsibility.

We work with clients across New York City, including Manhattan and Brooklyn, both in person and virtually.

When Career Success Stops Feeling Steady

Many people seeking career therapy or entrepreneur mental health support arrive functioning well on the outside while feeling unsettled on the inside.

You may recognize:

constant pressure without clear relief
difficulty resting even when things are going well
anxiety tied to decisions, visibility, or responsibility
identity confusion during transitions or after success
loneliness in leadership or entrepreneurship
tension between ambition and relationships
a sense that failure, or even slowing down, would cost too much

Nothing here suggests weakness. These experiences reflect what can happen when someone remains in sustained output without adequate emotional or relational support.

The Emotional Impact of Entrepreneurship and High-Pressure Careers

Entrepreneurship and high-level careers place unique demands on the inner world.

You are often:

the one making decisions that others rely on
carrying financial, reputational, or relational risk
navigating constant change without clear endpoints
managing visibility, judgment, or scrutiny
holding competing roles at once, such as leader, partner, parent, creator

Over time, pressure often hardens into internal rules: keep going, do not falter, do not disappoint, do not drop the ball. These rules may have supported success early on. Eventually, they begin to cost more than they give.

Entrepreneur and career therapy helps loosen these rules, not by reducing ambition, but by restoring choice, trust, and internal steadiness.

How Career and Entrepreneur Therapy Works

Our work is grounded in attachment-based and experiential therapy. This approach focuses on how responsibility, pressure, success, and uncertainty have shaped how you relate to yourself and others, and how those patterns show up now.

In sessions, the focus stays on what you are experiencing in real time, the urgency, the doubt, the pressure, the moments where things tighten or go quiet inside. Rather than analyzing from a distance, therapy supports you in feeling steadier and more present while those moments are actually happening.

This work supports clarity, emotional safety, and internal spaciousness, not just insight. It is therapy that meets both the thinking mind and the feeling body.

Career and Entrepreneurship Therapy Areas We Support

This specialization includes therapy for:

Career transitions: leaving, pivoting, rebuilding, or redefining professional identity
Entrepreneur burnout and exhaustion: pressure, rigidity, and overextension without shaming drive
High-functioning anxiety in professionals: urgency, performance pressure, fear of failure
Imposter syndrome: self-trust during growth, leadership, or visibility
Founder and leadership loneliness: carrying responsibility without emotional containment
Co-founder challenges: trust, communication, power, repair, or clean separation
Work–life tension: feeling pulled in too many directions at once
Visibility and leadership stress: being seen, judged, or relied upon publicly
Decision fatigue: overthinking, collapse, or loss of internal trust
Failure and transition grief: mourning outcomes, identities, or futures that did not land
Generational wealth and legacy pressure: ambition, meaning, and responsibility

Each area has its own nuance. The underlying work is consistent: restoring enough internal safety so ambition no longer has to run on fear.

What Changes Through Career and Entrepreneur Therapy

Clients often notice shifts such as:

decisions feel less paralyzing
pressure loosens its grip
rest becomes restorative rather than guilt-ridden
relationships feel more present and less transactional
ambition becomes clearer and more sustainable
success feels inhabitable rather than hollow

This work is not about slowing your life down or reducing your ambition. It is about building an internal system that can actually hold the life you are creating.

Who Career and Entrepreneurship Therapy Is For

This work is for:

entrepreneurs and founders at any stage
professionals in demanding or highly visible roles
creatives building independent or unconventional careers
leaders navigating responsibility, growth, and identity
individuals and couples whose work impacts their relationship

You do not need to be burned out or broken to begin. You only need to notice that something wants recalibration.
