Burnout Recovery Therapist in Venice
Rest. Reset. Reclaim Your Energy and Purpose.
In burnout recovery therapy, we’ll work on:
• Identifying the emotional and systemic causes of burnout
• Reconnecting with your needs, boundaries, and self
• Healing chronic stress patterns and overfunctioning
• Managing guilt around rest and productivity
• Rebuilding energy and emotional resilience
• Exploring deeper questions of identity and life balance
Burnout isn’t just about being tired—it’s about being empty. When you’ve been pushing too hard for too long—at work, in caregiving roles, or simply keeping it all together—your body, mind, and spirit eventually say, Enough. You may feel exhausted, irritable, numb, unmotivated, or disconnected from the things you once cared about.
As a therapist who works with high-functioning individuals facing burnout, I help clients untangle the pressure, perfectionism, and people-pleasing that often drive them past their limits. Recovery begins when you give yourself permission to slow down—and receive support.
Burnout doesn’t mean you’re weak—it means you’ve been strong for too long without enough support.
You don’t have to keep running on empty. Let’s help you rest, realign, and come back to life—on your own terms.
I provide therapy in Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Venice, Marina Del Rey, Culver City, Mar Vista, Playa Del Rey, West Los Angeles, Pacific Palisades, Palms, and Santa Monica.
Feeling emotionally drained, physically tired, and mentally checked out? If you're struggling to get through the day, you may need support from a burnout recovery therapist. Burnout affects more than just your energy levels—it can take over your mood, relationships, and job performance. At Steven Kilmann, LMFT, we help individuals regain control through practical, evidence-based burnout recovery therapy in Venice Beach.
Whether you're a professional on the edge, a caregiver feeling overwhelmed, or simply someone who feels disconnected and depleted, working with a burnout recovery therapist in Venice can help you restore balance, set boundaries, and rebuild emotional strength.
What Is Burnout and How Do You Know You're Experiencing It?
Burnout is not just feeling tired. It's chronic emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged stress.
Common signs of burnout include:
Loss of motivation and focus
Feeling detached or cynical about work or life
Trouble sleeping or excessive fatigue
Reduced performance at work or in personal life
Increased irritability or mood swings
Physical symptoms such as headaches or stomach issues
If these symptoms persist, a trained burnout recovery therapist can help you create a step-by-step plan to recover.
What Burnout Recovery Therapy Involves
Burnout recovery therapy focuses on addressing the root causes of emotional fatigue and teaching strategies to create long-term wellness. At Steven Kilmann, LMFT, sessions may include:
Identifying stressors: Pinpointing what’s truly contributing to your burnout—career, family, or internal expectations.
Cognitive reframing: Changing how you perceive stress and pressure.
Behavioral strategies: Setting healthier routines for rest, focus, and joy.
Boundary work: Learning to say no, delegate, and protect your time and energy.
These techniques support healing by helping you take back control of your schedule and emotional energy.
Why Therapy Works for Burnout Recovery
You don’t need to go through burnout alone. Talking to a burnout recovery therapist Venice residents trust means gaining practical support, not just sympathy.
Benefits of working with a burnout recovery therapist include:
Clarity: Get clear on why you feel exhausted and how to change it.
Support: You’ll have a professional who listens and helps you feel understood.
Accountability: You’ll stay on track with lifestyle changes that work.
Tools: You’ll learn skills like mindfulness, emotional regulation, and time management.
Assertiveness and Boundaries Therapy: A Core Element of Burnout Recovery
One of the biggest causes of burnout is a lack of healthy boundaries. People often overextend themselves, say yes when they mean no, and internalize guilt when they fall short.
That’s why we integrate Assertiveness and Boundaries Therapy in Venice into all burnout recovery plans. This therapy helps clients:
Speak up without guilt
Say no with confidence
Navigate high-pressure relationships
Avoid emotional over-investment in work or others
Clear boundaries protect your time, energy, and emotional health, making recovery not only possible but sustainable.
What to Expect in a Burnout Recovery Therapy Session
At Steven Kilmann, LMFT, our first goal is to create a safe, welcoming space. In your initial sessions, we’ll focus on understanding your unique stress patterns and life demands. You can expect:
One-on-one personalized care
Confidential support without judgment
A collaborative process—no pressure, no rush
Concrete takeaways after each session
We also often guide clients through self-assessment tools and track progress over time, so you feel a sense of movement and improvement week by week.
Is Burnout Recovery Therapy Right for You?
If any of the following applies to you, it may be time to seek support:
You dread going to work or starting the day
You no longer enjoy things you once loved
You’re emotionally reactive or numb
Your body feels heavy or tight all the time
You feel stuck, like things will never improve
These aren’t just personality traits—they’re signals. And they’re treatable. Burnout is reversible with the right approach and a therapist.
