Online Therapy in California for Anxious High Achievers
Everything is fine… until it isn’t.
You are a High Achieving Human. And you didn't get to the successful place you're at in your life without hard work, a laser focus and serious discipline.
But you're starting to realize that the more you keep pushing yourself, the less you feel connected to your Why.
To what it's all for in the first place. Maybe your priorities are shifting. Maybe you realize you don't love what you do anymore, or you want to be doing things a different way. Maybe you're stuck. And you feel guilty for wanting to walk away from it all after spending so much of your time and resources building towards your goals.
You feel tremendous pressure to succeed and “do life correctly."
You take on so much, and expect so much of yourself, and don’t allow yourself any margin for error. Your relationships are suffering. You're stressed out. You freeze up around making decisions because you worry and overthink Every. Little. Thing. Anxious future-casting is taking up so much of your emotional real estate, and it's damn exhausting.
You are struggling to not only accept, but EMBRACE your limits, perhaps because you were force fed a myth that you should not have any. And without accepting your own limits, it’s near-impossible to set them with others.
But here's the thing: this is not how your story has to go.
And you already have the first key ingredient needed to recenter your focus and reclaim your Why: your curiosity in the possibilities.
Your overthinking and worry, your fear of making a different choice, all boils down to an even bigger fear that it might be the wrong one.
Disrupting this fear, and challenging it, can change your life. That's where I come in.
Layne Baker, LMFT
Hi, I’m Layne– an Eldest Daughter and “such a mature kid for her age” who carried the emotional weight and pressure of success in her family for decades.
Through many years of my own therapy and healing, and choosing to become a therapist myself, I have been able to transform the pain that came from that burden of responsibility into something pretty powerful: helping other high achieving, overly-responsible, perfectionist “mature kids for their age” who are now all grown up learn how to get crystal clear about their values, have confidence in their decisions, set boundaries with loved ones, trust their instincts and take care of themselves for REAL.
I know how to support you in finding your way forward with less overthinking, more clarity and the wisdom to know where to take action and where to let go. Welcome. I am so glad you are here.
