“It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.” ―Epicetus

A space for the driven, the capable, and the quietly overwhelmed.

Are you the one that others turn to? The one who gets things done, no questions asked? You likely have a full calendar, high standards, and an endless list of responsibilities. You may even wonder if you have time for therapy or “self-care”. But, beneath the accomplishments, do you feel anxious, exhausted, or like you’re barely holding it together?

You’re not alone. American culture rewards "hard work” and output. Capitalism is built on the idea of emphasizing hard work, productivity, and the constant striving of success, so it’s beyond natural to subscribe to the notion that the harder you work, the more you can achieve.

Striving for excellence can be a strength, but when self-worth becomes entangled with ambition, it can lead to burnout.

We work with high-achieving individuals, couples, and leaders across Austin and the state of Texas who are navigating anxiety and the emotional toll of constant striving.

You’re not alone if your sense of worth feels tangled in productivity, people-pleasing, or the pressure to “do it all” effortlessly.

You might be a high achiever if—

• You feel guilty when you’re not being productive

• Rest feels undeserved or uncomfortable

• You fear disappointing others, even when at your breaking point

• You’re praised for being “so on top of it” but no one sees the anxiety beneath the surface

• You’re outwardly successful but inwardly disconnected from your needs.

This is where Align Therapy Collective comes in to help you realign with the values that matter most. Helping you identify a new system that allows you to achieve and restore, so you are set up for more sustainable growth.

Therapy for high-achievers it not about abandoning your goals. It’s about helping you slow down to reconnect with the parts of you that are unsure or hoping for something deeper than feeling like a human doing vs. a human being.

In therapy, we’ll utilize a relational approach to help you:

• Develop self-trust that is independent of performance

• Quiet your inner-critic with self-compassion and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

• Explore the roots of overfunctioning and anxiety

• Reclaim rest, relationships, and a more sustainable rhytym of life

At Aligned Therapy Collective, we’ll help you reconnect with the whole you, not just the achieving part.
