Career and Work Navigation Therapy in New York
Support for Workplace Stress, Boss Dynamics, Burnout, and Money Conversations
Equanimity Therapy Collective | Licensed New York Therapist Accepting Major Insurances
Work plays a central role in daily life. It shapes identity, financial stability, sense of purpose, and emotional well being. Yet for many people in New York, work also brings intense pressure, unclear expectations, demanding supervisors, financial stress, and the ongoing pressure to keep up. These challenges are not personal inadequacies. They are natural responses to a work culture that often asks far too much.
At Equanimity Therapy Collective, I offer Career and Work Navigation Therapy to help you make sense of your professional experiences and move through them with more clarity, steadiness, and support. As a licensed New York therapist who accepts major insurance plans, I work to make career and workplace therapy accessible for people navigating complex environments and important transitions.
Why Work Feels So Stressful Today
Many clients believe they “should” be able to handle work stress on their own, but the issues they face are rooted in real structural and relational challenges, not personal weakness. People often come to therapy because they feel overextended, under recognized, confused by workplace communication, or trapped in roles that no longer align with their values. Others feel anxious about asking for raises, negotiating pay, or speaking up about workload boundaries.
Work in New York is deeply intertwined with identity, survival, family expectations, cultural messages, financial pressures, and the realities of the cost of living. These factors impact confidence, nervous system regulation, relationships, and emotional health. Therapy offers a space to understand these experiences with context and compassion.
How Therapy Helps You Navigate Career Decisions and Workplace Relationships
Therapy gives you a structured, supportive place to understand what is truly happening in your work life. Together we explore the emotional and relational patterns that show up at work, as well as the cultural and systemic pressures that shape them. You may see how dynamics with managers, supervisors, or coworkers connect to earlier relational experiences or attachment patterns. Understanding this creates more space to act with clarity rather than reacting in survival mode.
Career and workplace therapy helps you process workplace conflict and find grounded communication strategies. It supports you in preparing for conversations about compensation, boundaries, promotions, workload, or recognition. These topics often bring up anxiety tied to self worth, identity, and cultural norms. Therapy helps you approach them with more confidence and self trust.
If you are experiencing burnout or feeling physically and emotionally depleted, therapy helps you explore how stress manifests in the body and how to care for yourself in sustainable ways. We also clarify your values and strengths so you can make decisions about career direction or transitions with greater steadiness and alignment.
A Supportive, Anti Oppressive, Human Centered Approach
My approach is relational, trauma informed, and grounded in a social justice perspective. Work is never just work. It is shaped by personal history, identity, class, race, gender, disability, neurodivergence, family expectations, cultural context, and the larger systems that influence opportunity and stability.
You do not need to leave parts of yourself at the door. In therapy, your full context matters. You are not blamed for struggling, and you are not expected to separate your professional challenges from the emotional, cultural, or systemic realities that shape them. Instead, we create a collaborative space where your experience, values, needs, and voice guide the work.
Everyone is welcome here, including clients in creative, corporate, service, nonprofit, caregiving, academic, entrepreneurial, and gig based fields. Your story and your struggles matter.

Therapy as a Space to Recenter Your Voice
Career therapy gives you space to slow down, reflect, and hear yourself again. You can examine what is working and what is not, explore your options without pressure, and make decisions that support your emotional well being and long term goals. Therapy also helps you practice setting boundaries, prepare for important conversations, and build confidence in your ability to advocate for yourself.
You deserve work that feels sustainable, meaningful, and respectful of your humanity.
