Los Angeles Anxiety Therapy for the Overwhelmed and Overextended
Burnout therapy in Los Angeles (online and in-person)
You have been moving through your days with the sense that something vital is slipping from your hands. You can see how many years you have spent in a job that drains you, working eighty hour weeks, giving everything you have, and still feeling like it is never enough. You returned from a vacation only to realize that it was not a real break because you worked the entire time. Even though the money looks good on paper, the cost on your energy and spirit feels overwhelming. You do not even get to enjoy the life you are working so hard to maintain.
After another day of grinding through tasks and dealing with coworkers who wear you down, you feel yourself hanging on by a thread. There are moments when a dark thought brushes past you, the thought of giving up. You do not let it take shape, but the fact that it appears at all scares you. You know you need help and you know you cannot keep doing this alone.
You're looking for a therapist who won't be shocked by your honesty, your frustration, or how much fire you're carrying right now. Someone who understands what it's like to move through the world as a person of color and who won't try to therapize away your rage or your refusal to conform. You need someone who can hold the complexity without needing you to have it all together. Someone who gets that your exhaustion isn't a personal failing, and that "self-care" stopped working three burnout cycles ago. You're not broken. Your nervous system is screaming because it's been asked to do too much for too long. And somewhere under all this depletion is the version of yourself you miss: sharp, spontaneous, and alive. You want to feel like her again.
Hi, I’m Jasmine McMeeking, LMFT, REAT
I am a therapist in Los Angeles offering burnout therapy for people who feel stretched thin and overwhelmed by the demands of their lives. I specialize in supporting people who are navigating burnout, identity pressure, and emotional exhaustion.
The people I work with are often ambitious, insightful, and used to covering their vulnerability with strength. They curse sometimes. They joke. They have big hearts they rarely get to show. They are aware of the patterns that pull them toward depletion, but they do not always know how to stop the cycle. Even in their lowest moments, they still hold a spark of belief that things can be different.
In our work together, you get to show up exactly as you are. I do not try to be your friend, yet many clients tell me that therapy with me feels like talking to a supportive and caring friend who actually listens. I help you challenge the belief that control is the only path to safety. You learn how flexibility can create more stability. You learn how adaptability can open room for rest and possibility.
I work with you to understand what's actually happening in your life, not what a textbook says should be happening. We focus on building flexibility instead of rigid control, and on creating a life aligned with what matters to you. These approaches honor your lived experience rather than forcing you into structures that don't fit.
What healing begins to feel like
As you move through burnout therapy, you may notice your relationship with yourself shifting. Clients often tell me they feel more compassion toward themselves, sometimes for the first time. They describe perspective changes that make it easier to care for their needs. They begin to trust their ability to navigate life without collapsing under pressure. They feel steadier and more connected to the person they used to be.
Graduation from therapy is not perfection. It is you regulating your emotions well most days. It is you practicing a sustainable way of living most of the time. It is your symptoms quieting down to a manageable level or fading into remission. It is confidence returning. It is stress easing. It is you feeling capable again.
Many clients discover that the version of themselves they thought was lost was still there, waiting for a bit of space to breathe.
You don’t have to keep running on empty
If you are feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or disconnected from the person you used to be, you are not alone. You can find your way back to yourself. Burnout therapy can help you rebuild your energy, your clarity, and your life. You deserve support that understands you and meets you where you are.
Reaching out is not a sign of failure. It is the beginning of coming home to yourself.

FAQs

I use relational gestalt (exploring how patterns show up in your relationships and life), acceptance and commitment therapy (building flexibility around what matters to you instead of rigid control), and narrative expressive arts (using creativity to understand and rewrite the stories driving your burnout). Together, these help us address both symptoms and the deeper patterns keeping you stuck.

The length varies. Many clients begin to feel meaningful shifts within a few months. Others choose to stay longer to deepen their growth.

No. Burnout rarely exists in a vacuum. We'll absolutely explore the perfectionism, boundary issues, people-pleasing, or survival patterns that got you here in the first place.
