Therapy for Generational Wealth and Legacy in New York City
Attachment-Based, Experiential Therapy at Our Kind Therapy
Building generational wealth is about legacy, meaning, and choice.
It often also means carrying responsibility that does not turn off, even when you are doing something deeply meaningful. It is about creating stability that did not exist before. Offering future generations options instead of constraints. Building something enduring, not just for comfort, but for purpose.
For many founders and high earners, this pursuit carries deep emotional weight. It is tied to dignity, responsibility, and long-term identity.
It can also feel heavy.
At Our Kind Therapy, we work with individuals and couples who are actively building careers, companies, wealth, and futures while quietly carrying the emotional pressure that comes with that mission. We work with clients across New York City, including Manhattan and Brooklyn, both in person and virtually.
Generational Wealth, Up Close
The pursuit of generational wealth often feels inspiring and energizing, until it does not.
There is momentum. Vision. Drive. A sense of meaning. Beneath it, a quieter pattern can form. Relationships receive less attention. Rest becomes optional. Emotions are postponed in the service of the goal. Not out of neglect. Out of devotion.
Many clients arrive feeling silently depleted, unsure how something so meaningful became so isolating.
The Pressure Beneath the Purpose
The emotional strain is rarely about money itself.
It is about what the money represents.
Common pressures include:
Pressure to succeed without faltering
Fear of losing momentum or opportunity
Guilt about slowing down when the mission matters
Anxiety tied to long-term responsibility
Internal pressure to sacrifice now so others can thrive later
Often, you quietly move yourself to the bottom of the list.
What Maintains the Strain
This pattern is often maintained by pressure, fear, or guilt. Pressure to make it work. Fear of losing what has been built. Guilt around prioritizing self when others are part of the vision.
Over time, the nervous system stays activated. Success becomes something to manage rather than enjoy.
How the Work Begins to Shift
The shift does not require abandoning ambition. Instead, it requires expanding your ambition throughout your body and relationships.
As therapy progresses, our clients often experience:
Renewed excitement that feels sustainable
Clearer internal boundaries
The ability to enjoy progress and success
Relief from carrying the mission alone
A felt experience that legacy does not have to be built in isolation
Through the work, you're allowing support in and realizing it does not weaken your mission. It only strengthens it.
How We Work With Generational Wealth at Our Kind
Our work is attachment-based and experiential, focused on how ambition, pressure, and purpose live in the body and in relationships.
In therapy, we often:
Make space for excitement and inspiration behind the mission
Identify where pressure is tightening the system
Work with internal drivers that keep people overfunctioning
Build safety around intimacy, success, and self-worth
Restore connection to emotional life so purpose does not require self-abandonment
The work feels like being understood at the level of drive and supported at the level of the self.
