Work + Career
Work shouldn’t just be about the paycheck
You’ve worked hard to get where you are. You’re seen by others as capable and dependable, but inside you may feel lost or like a fraud. Maybe you feel unseen or unappreciated — like all your accomplishments are never enough. Or you might be feeling burned out, unmotivated, or questioning your purpose.
At Green Fig, therapy for work / career stress can provide a space to untangle the pressure, self-doubt, and overwhelm that often comes with demanding jobs, career transitions, or being neurodivergent in a workplace not built for your brain. We help you explore your unique gifts and desires, find choice, and feel more fulfilled.
When work feels stressful
At Green Fig, we see all the time how feeling stuck and stressed at work can drain both your energy and your self-esteem. When you’re having work or career stress, you may:
feel stuck between your stable but unfulfilling job and taking a leap into what you really want
have outward success but feel empty / disconnected from your work
second-guess yourself or have decision-making paralysis
obsess over workplace conversations, relationships, or how you think you’re perceived
experience self-doubt or imposter syndrome
cycle between intense creative flow and crashes / low motivation
avoid difficult tasks or putting yourself out there with colleagues
have trouble setting boundaries at work
feel that your perfectionism or overworking are taking a toll
want support through tricky workplace politics
worry about job security
feel stressed by unrealistic deadlines, unclear roles, lack of control over workplace processes, or insufficient job support
Or, you may have been laid off, and need a place to make sense of what’s happened and what’s next.
You don’t have to navigate work and career challenges alone.
We’re here to help you find relief, meaning, and confidence in your work life.
How therapy can help you find more confidence & ease in your work life
Therapy offers a safe space for you to explore the underlying causes of your work stress and develop strategies that support you in your unique situation. Therapy for work stress can help you:
show up exactly as you are and play to your strengths

manage pressures related to “being new”
communicate assertively
understand and practice having boundaries at work
work through imposter syndrome

At Green Fig, we honor your whole self. We’re here to help you feel more confident, easeful, and connected in your work life.

FAQs
-
Therapy for work-related issues can provide a space to untangle stress, self-doubt, and burnout that often comes with demanding jobs or career transitions.
(If you also struggle with ADHD, some workplaces can exacerbate symptoms.)
Therapy is a place to explore what feels unfulfilling, learn to navigate tricky workplace dynamics, and build confidence in your abilities. It can also be a place to understand what environments, practices and hacks work best for your unique brain and nervous system.
You’ll practice setting boundaries, communicating assertively, and reconnecting with your strengths, all while gaining support for managing imposter syndrome, decision paralysis, or problems with executive functioning.
Ultimately, it’s about finding relief, clarity, a renewed sense of purpose — and hopefully some balance — in your work life.

If you’re in the early stages of a career or your first professional role (think new graduate) you’ve got a lot of learning happening at once! Therapy is a great space to help integrate all you’re taking in and to make sense of it.
If you’ve recently stepped away from one role or industry and into another or you’ve taken a big leap in an existing system, this can feel intimidating and is a recipe for imposter syndrome. Therapy offers scaffolding to bolster you and keep you grounded — and to help with reality checks related to interactions with your colleagues, board or boss.
Or maybe you are the boss! Managing people is one of the most difficult parts of any job. Resistance to change or managing toxic personalities is draining and tricky.
Finally, perhaps you’re deciding to step away from your career altogether, or to retire. It can be useful to reflect, plan for, and grieve the loss of identity that comes with this major life event.
-
At Green Fig, we understand you’ve already got a lot on your plate. But sometimes, carving out space in therapy to examine patterns and learn new strategies can result in gains that ultimately SAVE time.
Not to sound cliche, but slowing down to speed up really is a thing.
Hustle culture makes us believe if we just “think enough” or “do enough” we’ll get caught up, achieve success, or get that next promotion. But this is actually a myth.
Often, it’s in the quiet, reflective spaces that the best work gets done — resulting in lasting and meaningful growth.
Find out who you are and do it on purpose.
