Therapy for Professional Women Who Are Tired of Holding Everything Together

You’re successful. Capable. Driven.

And you’re exhausted.

Maybe you keep finding yourself in relationships with emotionally unavailable men…over-functioning, giving more than you receive, hoping this one will finally meet you emotionally.

Maybe you’re married, but the spark is gone. You and your partner feel more like roommates than lovers. Between demanding careers, parenting, and daily logistics, you’ve become two ships passing in the night. Or maybe you’re the breadwinner, carrying the weight of responsibility while quietly feeling alone in it.

Or maybe you’re a professional woman and a mother who is completely burned out and trying to do well at work, show up for your kids, maintain your relationship, and somehow still take care of yourself. You feel guilty when you’re not fully present at home. You’re tired of being the default parent. You want to do it all well, but it feels impossible.

If any of this resonates, you’re not broken.

You’re overwhelmed, emotionally depleted, and stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. And you don’t have to navigate it alone.

I help professional women who feel confident at work but exhausted everywhere else stop over-functioning and create meaningful change.

You Don’t Need More Willpower. You Need Support That Goes Deeper.

I’m Morgan Silverman, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor based in Costa Mesa, California. I provide in-person therapy in Orange County and virtual therapy throughout California and Arizona for professional women and couples who want real change, not surface-level coping.

Most of my clients are high-achieving, thoughtful women who have spent years pushing through:

  • Anxiety and chronic self-doubt
  • Perfectionism and imposter syndrome
  • Emotionally unavailable partners
  • Disconnected marriages
  • Burnout and invisible labor at home
  • Trauma or emotionally complex life experiences
They’ve tried to think their way out of it. Therapy becomes the place where they finally get to feel, heal, and reset the patterns underneath.

Therapy for the Professional Woman

Whether you’re single, partnered, or parenting, my work is designed to help you:

  • Stop over-functioning in relationships
  • Break attachment patterns that keep pulling you toward emotionally unavailable partners
  • Rebuild emotional connection in your marriage
  • Learn how to ask for what you need without guilt
  • Release the pressure to do everything perfectly
  • Heal trauma that still lives in your nervous system
  • Quiet the inner critic and reconnect with yourself

This isn’t about becoming someone new.

It’s about returning to yourself.

Couples Therapy When You Feel Like Roommates

Many couples come to me when:

  • The emotional connection feels flat or distant
  • Conflict keeps repeating in the same painful cycle
  • One partner pursues while the other withdraws
  • Career demands leave little room for intimacy
  • Resentment has quietly built over time
Using Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), I help couples slow down, understand what’s really happening underneath the arguments, and rebuild emotional safety and closeness.
You don’t have to keep living parallel lives in the same house.

A Deeper Approach to Healing

I integrate evidence-based therapies that go beyond traditional talk therapy, including:

  • EMDR for trauma, anxiety, and relationship wounds
  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) to work compassionately with your inner critic, perfectionist, and overwhelmed parts
  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples

This allows us to work at the root and not just manage symptoms.

Clients often tell me they feel both deeply understood and gently challenged in our work. Supported emotionally while also moving forward in tangible ways.

A Practice Designed for High-Achieving Women

My practice is intentionally structured for women who value depth, discretion, and personalized care.

You’ll receive:

  • Thoughtful, evidence-based treatment planning
  • A warm but focused therapeutic presence
  • Therapy that balances emotional healing with practical change
This is high-touch, relational therapy for women who are ready to stop surviving and start living differently.

If You’re Ready for Something to Change

You don’t need to be in crisis to begin therapy.

You just need to be tired of carrying everything alone.

If you’re ready to explore working together, I invite you to schedule a complimentary 15-minute consultation. We’ll talk through what’s bringing you in, answer your questions, and see if we’re a good fit.

Therapy can be a turning point, not because it fixes you, but because it helps you finally helps you become the person you were always meant to be.
