From Burnout to Breakthrough: Life Transition Therapy in Seattle for Mid-Career Professionals
You’ve built a career. You’ve checked the boxes. You might even have a LinkedIn profile that makes your old college roommate jealous. But somewhere between Zoom fatigue and 3 AM anxiety scrolls, it hit you: Is this it?
If you're a mid-career professional in Seattle navigating burnout, identity shifts, or the creeping suspicion that you’re meant for more, life transition therapy might be your next power move.
Why Mid-Career Burnout Hits Different
Seattle’s high-performing professionals face unique stressors: tech culture overload, endless performance reviews, the pressure to stay "relevant," and a cost of living that turns dreams into spreadsheets. It's no surprise that "therapy for career burnout in Seattle" is one of the most searched phrases by professionals between 35 and 55.
Burnout isn't just being tired. It's emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and the sense that your job (or your life) no longer aligns with your values. Cue the existential dread.
