Burnout Therapy in California & Washington
You’re exhausted from doing & giving more than is possible.
You can find relief and balance again.
Burnout can feel like you’re being dragged down by life’s demands. You may be drained, disconnected from things you once cared about, or carrying emotional weight that doesn’t seem to lighten no matter how much you should rest.
Whether it’s work, caregiving, expectations from others, or cultural pressures to keep going, these patterns can leave you feeling depleted, resentful, or like you don’t recognize yourself anymore.
At Tiny Cottage Therapy, you’ll find a relational, culturally responsive approach that helps you gently slow the overwhelm, understand what your body and mind are trying to tell you, and reconnect with your needs (not just your responsibilities).

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Burnout is more than everyday stress, it’s a chronic exhaustion that affects your energy, motivation, and sense of purpose. While stress can feel like short-term pressure, burnout often emerges from prolonged overload, conflicting expectations, or caregiving demands that don’t leave space for rest or recovery.
-
Yes. Therapy helps you understand the patterns and pressures that contribute to burnout, practice sustainable boundaries, regulate your nervous system, and slowly rebuild resilience. Compassion fatigue work specifically supports reconnecting to your capacity for care without self-sacrifice.
-
Burnout therapy focuses on the combination of external systems (work, caregiving roles, cultural expectations) and internal responses (perfectionism, self-criticism, overstimulation). Burnout work often includes personal history, pacing, boundary practice, and nervous system regulation strategies that support recovery.
