Work-life balance involves more than managing your calendar. It encompasses how you set boundaries, prioritize your needs, and navigate the pressures of professional demands alongside personal relationships, rest, and self-care. When this balance feels off, you might notice increased stress, fatigue, strained relationships, or a sense that something important is being neglected.

Therapy can provide a supportive space to explore what balance means for you personally and to develop strategies for creating sustainable change. A therapist can help you examine patterns that may be contributing to imbalance, work through feelings of guilt or obligation, and build skills for setting boundaries. On First Session, you can browse therapists who understand work-life challenges, watch their intro videos to find someone who feels like a good fit, and book a free consultation to get started.
