Therapy for stress and burnout, tailored to you

Stress becomes a problem when it stops easing: you are exhausted but cannot rest, irritable, behind on everything, or going through the motions at work, in school or at home. Burnout often comes from carrying too much for too long, as a professional, a caregiver, a parent, a student or an athlete.

Dr. Tania helps you understand what is driving the overload, build practical tools for stress and sleep, and make changes that last, including how you set limits and what you expect of yourself. Her approach is integrative: cognitive-behavioral methods (CBT, DBT, mindfulness-based CBT and ACT) alongside relational work on perfectionism and self-criticism.

Common questions

Is burnout the same as depression?

They can overlap, and burnout can lead to depression. Burnout is tied to chronic overload, often at work or in caregiving, while depression affects mood more broadly. Dr. Tania can help you sort out which is which.

I cannot take time off. Can therapy still help?

Yes. Sessions by video fit around a busy schedule, and a lot of the work is practical changes you can start making now.

What methods does Dr. Tania use?

She combines cognitive-behavioral methods (CBT, DBT, mindfulness-based CBT and ACT) with psychodynamic-relational work, tailored to you.

Do you see pre-teens and teens for this?

Yes, pre-teens and teens ages 10 and up, with parents brought into the process. See therapy for pre-teens and teens.

Does Dr. Tania prescribe medication?

No. She works with psychiatrists and other medical providers, can refer you to one, and with your permission can coordinate care with the providers you already see.

Is what I say confidential?

Yes, with limits set by law. The exceptions are serious risk of self-harm, risk of harm to others, abuse or neglect of a child or dependent adult, and court-ordered subpoenas. Dr. Tania talks through any such concern with you.

Does Dr. Tania take insurance for therapy?

For therapy, she is in-network with Aetna in Florida, New York, Texas and Maryland. In other states, therapy sessions are self-pay. With other insurers she is out-of-network and can give you a superbill to submit for possible reimbursement. HSA and FSA payments are accepted.
