Who it helps
Leadership Challenges We Help With
Leadership can be lonely. You may be the person everyone relies on, with few places to say what you're actually struggling with. Over time, the pressure can show up as burnout, irritability, sleepless nights, strain at home or the same problems repeating with your team.
We help leaders with:
- Burnout and chronic stress
- Anxiety around high-stakes decisions
- Imposter syndrome and self-doubt
- Conflict with partners, boards or teams
- Perfectionism and trouble delegating
- Isolation at the top
- Strain at home and work-life balance
- Career transitions, succession and life after a role
How we help
Many leadership struggles have roots deeper than strategy. Our depth-oriented therapists help you look at the patterns underneath, like how you handle conflict, control, criticism and trust, and how they play out with the people you lead and the people you love. The work stays practical, confidential and built around a demanding schedule.
Sessions are 50 minutes, usually weekly, in person at our Newport Beach office or by telehealth anywhere in California.

Questions
Leadership & Executive Therapy FAQ
How is this different from executive coaching?
Coaching focuses on skills and goals. Therapy with a licensed clinician also works with the stress, emotional patterns and relationships underneath them, which is often where lasting change happens.
How do you protect my privacy?
Therapy is confidential. As an out-of-network practice, we don't share information with insurance companies unless you choose to submit a superbill, and telehealth lets you meet privately from wherever works for you.
Can sessions fit a busy schedule?
We match you with a therapist whose availability fits yours, and telehealth sessions can be taken from your office or home.
Do you offer therapy for leaders and executives online?
Yes. We offer secure telehealth sessions anywhere in California, and some clients mix in-person and online sessions.
Do you take insurance?
We are an out-of-network practice. That lets us keep caseloads manageable, protect your privacy and keep insurance companies out of decisions about your care. If your plan has out-of-network benefits, we can provide a superbill for possible reimbursement.
