Performance & Burnout Therapy for Adults, Teens & Athletes — Camas, WA

You can be performing at a high level—and still feel overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, or stuck in patterns that don’t fully make sense.

Performance and burnout therapy focuses on helping you move through pressure, stress, and internal patterns so you can feel more clear, steady, and in control again.

This work also supports teens and athletes navigating performance pressure, injuries, and the mental side of returning to activity.

In-person sessions are available in Camas, Washington, serving Camas, Vancouver, Washougal, and Southwest Washington, with telehealth across Washington and Missouri.

When Performance & Burnout Start to Show Up

You may notice:

  • Feeling constantly “on” or unable to fully relax

  • Overthinking or second-guessing performance

  • High expectations that feel hard to maintain

  • Mental or emotional exhaustion

  • Difficulty turning your mind off

  • A sense that something isn’t working, even when things look fine from the outside

For Teens & Athletes — Especially After Injury

Injury, setbacks, and pressure can impact more than just the body.

This work supports:

  • Athletes returning after injury or time off

  • Fear of re-injury or hesitation in performance

  • Loss of confidence or identity after setbacks

  • Pressure from sports, school, or expectations

  • Difficulty getting back to previous performance levels

The focus is on helping the mind and body feel safe again—so performance can return naturally.

What Performance & Burnout Therapy Helps With

  • High-functioning anxiety

  • Chronic stress and burnout

  • Performance pressure (sports, school, work)

  • Injury recovery and return-to-play anxiety

  • Perfectionism and over-responsibility

  • Feeling stuck despite effort or success

How This Work Helps

This approach goes beyond managing stress.

Performance and burnout therapy focuses on how patterns are formed and maintained—helping you shift what’s driving them rather than continuing to push through them.

EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is often used as part of this work to help process experiences connected to pressure, stress, injury, or performance blocks.

Why This Approach Works

Many high-performing individuals—and athletes—are used to relying on effort and control.

This work allows for a different kind of shift—one that doesn’t depend on pushing harder, but on changing what’s underneath the pattern.

What to Expect

Therapy is structured, focused, and tailored to the individual.

Over time, many clients notice:

  • Less mental and emotional overload

  • Increased confidence and clarity

  • Reduced fear or hesitation after injury

  • More consistent, sustainable performance
