Anxiety & Burnout Therapy in New York
Anxiety can make it feel like you’re constantly bracing for what’s next — and burnout is often the cost of staying “on” for too long. At My AP Therapy, we help adults who look like they’re managing on the outside but feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or disconnected on the inside. Together, we’ll slow things down and address anxiety at its roots so calm, balance, and clarity become sustainable — not something you have to earn.
Does Your Anxiety Ever Show Up Like This?
Your mind won’t switch off — replaying every conversation, worrying about the next project, second-guessing every decision.
You smile through exhaustion, praised for your performance but quietly wondering how long you can keep it up.
Rest feels like guilt. Productivity feels like survival.
You’ve checked all the boxes — the career, the discipline, the image — but it still doesn’t feel like enough.
Inside, you’re running on empty.
Let’s change that.
You’ve learned how to function through anxiety — staying busy, staying “fine,” staying in control.
But managing isn’t the same as healing.
Burnout often happens when anxiety goes unaddressed for too long. Your mind stays alert, your nervous system never fully powers down, and eventually your body carries the cost. At My AP Therapy, we help clients move beyond surface-level coping by addressing the underlying patterns driving anxiety, chronic stress, and exhaustion — so relief actually lasts.
Different Ways Anxiety & Burnout Can Show Up
Anxiety doesn’t look the same for everyone. Here are some of the most common ways our clients describe what they’re feeling — maybe you’ll recognize yourself in some of these, too:
Performance Anxiety & Perfectionism
You hold yourself to impossible standards — at work, in relationships, even in healing. You want to relax but can’t stop analyzing or trying to “get it right.” We’ll help you find calm that isn’t tied to achievement, so rest and success can finally coexist.
Social Anxiety
Even when you want to connect, your mind starts scanning for judgment or rejection. Our therapists help you understand the protective parts beneath that fear and learn ways to feel safe in your own skin, even around others.
Work Stress & Burnout
You’re always “on,” juggling deadlines and expectations until your nervous system feels stuck in overdrive. Together, we’ll build emotional and body-based tools to regulate stress, set healthy boundaries, and recover from burnout without losing your ambition.
Relationship Anxiety
You replay conversations, fear rejection, or feel like you need to prove your worth to stay connected. We’ll help you understand where those patterns come from and practice showing up authentically — confident, grounded, and connected.
Chronic Overwhelm & Emotional Exhaustion
You’re outwardly successful — but inside, your thoughts never slow down. Together, we’ll explore what your anxiety is protecting you from and create strategies that help you live with more presence and ease.
