Most of us spend a huge portion of our lives working. When work feels heavy, confusing, or unsafe, it can seep into everything else. Sleep. Mood. Relationships. Health.

Work & Career Counseling at Zen’n’ish® gives you a neutral, supportive space to name what is happening and decide how you want to move forward, with both your nervous system and your values in mind.

​

Common work and career struggles

Work stress can show up in many ways, including:

• Poor job fit or “I am not meant for this field” feelings

• Burnout, compassion fatigue, and chronic overwhelm

• Mental anguish related to workload, culture, or leadership

• Sexual, verbal, or psychological harassment

• Discrimination or microaggressions

• Low motivation, dread about going to work, or Sunday night anxiety

• Feeling stuck between staying, quitting, or changing careers

 

Whether you work in an office, online, in a helping profession, or in a highly structured system, your experience is valid.

​

How therapy can help

In sessions, we can:

• Sort through what is actually happening at work versus what you have internalized

• Explore your values, needs, and non negotiables in a work environment

• Identify patterns that keep you overgiving, overworking, or shrinking yourself

• Build coping skills for stress, anxiety, and workplace triggers

• Process the emotional impact of harassment, discrimination, or toxic cultures

• Consider options for boundaries, advocacy, role changes, or transitions

 

Talk therapy can help reduce depression and anxiety tied to work and career and support you in making decisions that honor both your reality and your wellbeing.

​

You do not have to figure out “Should I stay or should I go?” alone, and you do not have to keep white knuckling your way through every workday.

​

You bring your exhaustion, questions, and quiet dreams.
Together, we tend the loam of your work life so it starts to feel more aligned with who you are becoming. 🌿
