Therapy for Burnout Vermont
Sometimes all you need is a tune-up, not a total overhaul. Sessions available via telehealth throughout Vermont.
You're making it work. You have been for a while.
But there's a tiredness underneath that doesn't go away, even with a good night's sleep or a vacation. Things that used to feel manageable feel heavier. You know yourself well enough to recognize the pattern, and well enough to know you want to do something now, before it gets worse.
If this sounds like you, maintenance therapy might be a great next step.
What maintenance therapy looks like
Maintenance therapy, or what I often call a “tune-up”, is for people who already have a foundation. You've done some work on yourself already, maybe you’ve done some previous therapy, and you want to keep things calibrated. Sessions tend to be less frequent than traditional weekly therapy: every few weeks, monthly, or as needed depending on where you are in life.
The focus is less on crisis and more on staying honest with yourself, catching things early, and having a regular touchpoint before the weight builds up too much.
Depending on what you're looking for, sessions might focus on practical coping and recalibration, or we might use the space more expansively: exploring what gives your life meaning or or the questions you haven't had space to sit with. I’ll draw on ACT, mindfulness, and somatic approaches.

Who this works best for
This service is a natural fit for people who are self-aware, have done some work on themselves, and want a low-intensity but consistent space to process and recalibrate. The pace is yours. You won't be pushed toward a long-term weekly commitment.
If you're in the middle of an acute mental health crisis or need more intensive support, individual therapy is likely a better starting point. We can always talk through what makes the most sense for your situation.
How is this different from regular therapy?
The main difference is frequency and focus. Traditional therapy often happens weekly and works through something specific and significant. Maintenance therapy is lighter-touch: less frequent, more self-directed, and focused on staying ahead of things rather than catching up to them. Some people use it on its own; others move between maintenance sessions and more intensive work as life shifts.

Burnout tends to build slowly. Catching it before it peaks is genuinely worth doing. I'm here when you're ready.
