Therapy for Tech Professionals 

Meeting

In the fast-paced, high-pressure environment of Silicon Valley (and beyond), many tech workers find themselves questioning their career paths and life choices despite their professional success. Therapy can play a crucial role in helping individuals navigate their journey towards greater fulfillment and authenticity, offering you a safe space to explore the complex intersection of identity, purpose, and work-life balance.​

For many tech professionals, success has been built on logical thinking and concrete problem-solving. Therapy can help apply those same analytical skills to personal growth while also developing emotional intelligence and self-awareness. We can examine questions like "What drew me to tech initially?" and "What would success look like if I weren't measuring it by my company's standards?" 

 

Therapy can also help you recognize and challenge the narratives around success, productivity, and worth that you’ve maybe internalized from the industry you work in. You may find yourself trapped in a cycle of continuous achievement without fulfillment, measuring your value through lines of code, successful deployments, or stock options. We can help you develop a more holistic view of success that encompasses relationships, creative pursuits, community, and emotional well-being.  And...in case this applies to you, all of our therapists have  experience (and enjoy) working with neurodivergent & autistic people as well as LGBTQIA+.

 

For those considering significant career changes, therapy provides a structured environment to explore options while managing the anxiety and uncertainty that often accompany such transitions. We can discuss normal career frustrations versus deeper misalignment.  In our work we can develop strategies for setting boundaries in your current role, and create action plans for potential transitions. This might include exploring alternative career paths or investigating different fields that align better with your interests.

 

It can be stressful and time-consuming to find a new therapist. We encourage you to schedule a free 15-minute meeting. If you want to book a full session, have questions or want to be matched with the right therapist, fill out our secure contact form.
