You’re not lazy. You’re burned out.

Burnout is more than just being tired. It’s when your body and mind hit a wall after carrying too much for too long. You might still be showing up to work, parenting, studying, or caregiving—but inside, you’re numb, irritable, disconnected, and running on fumes.

At Black Onyx, we offer therapy for people who are emotionally exhausted and ready to feel like themselves again.

Therapy for Burnout

Is This You?

You might be experiencing burnout if you:

  • Feel emotionally flat or constantly overwhelmed

  • Dread the day the moment you wake up

  • Are snapping at people you care about or withdrawing from them completely

  • Struggle to focus, stay organized, or get basic things done

  • Feel like you’re doing everything and still not enough

  • Can’t remember the last time you felt joy, ease, or spaciousness

  • Have tried self-care, but it barely touches the surface

Burnout is common among people who care deeply—especially those navigating trauma, chronic stress, neurodivergence, or systems that don’t support them.

We help people like you!

When to Get Support

Therapy for burnout can help if you’re:

  • On the verge of quitting or giving up

  • Losing your sense of identity or purpose

  • Constantly cycling between anxiety, shutdown, and shame

  • Feeling like “no one gets it” or that you have to keep pretending you’re okay

  • Wondering if you’re depressed, broken, or simply doing life wrong

You’re not broken. Your nervous system is telling the truth about what it’s been through.
