Therapy for High-Achieving Adults
Struggling with Anxiety, Perfectionism, and Burnout
You work hard. You care deeply. You hold yourself to high standards.
But inside, you feel anxious, exhausted, and never quite “good enough.”
I help driven, high-functioning adults quiet their minds, sleep better, and build a healthier relationship with themselves—so life doesn’t feel like a constant mental marathon.
Does This Sound Like You?
You’re successful on paper—but somehow feel behind.
You replay conversations and mistakes in your head.
You struggle to “turn off” your mind at night.
You’re your own harshest critic.
You feel guilty resting.
You worry you’re not doing “enough,” even when you’re exhausted.
If you nodded along, you’re not broken. You’re stuck in a perfectionism–anxiety cycle—and it can change.
Why High Achievers Struggle with Anxiety and Burnout
Many high-achieving adults develop anxiety and insomnia not because they’re weak—but because they’re driven, responsible, and deeply committed to doing well.
Over time, this creates:
Chronic overthinking
Constant self-monitoring
Difficulty relaxing
Emotional exhaustion
Sleep disruption
Your nervous system never gets a break.
In therapy, we work on changing this pattern at its root—not just managing symptoms.
How Therapy Can Help You Feel Calmer and More Confident
Using evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and CBT for Insomnia (CBT-I), I help clients:
Reduce overthinking and rumination
Develop healthier self-talk
Improve sleep and energy
Manage stress without losing motivation
Build confidence and emotional resilience
Feel more grounded in daily life
Our work is structured, practical, and tailored to you.

Meet Cora Taylor, LMFT
I’m a licensed psychotherapist in private practice, specializing in working with high-functioning adults struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, and insomnia.
As someone who understands the pressure of high standards and self-expectation, I bring both clinical expertise and genuine empathy to this work.
My goal is to help you feel capable and at peace—not just productive.
Therapy with me is not about judgment or
endless venting. It’s about:
Understanding what’s happening in your mind
Learning concrete tools
Exploring deeper patterns
Creating sustainable change
You’ll always be treated as a capable person who deserves support—not as a “problem to fix.”
