Reclaim Your Energy: Holistic Therapy for Burnout Recovery in Oak Point, TX
You feel the physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion on a daily basis. You sleep through the night but still don’t feel rested. You’re juggling multiple roles. You’re a mom, daughter, employee, business owner, friend, student, teacher, helper, advice-giver, and so much more.
Let’s face it. Burnout is very real for women.
However, it is possible to feel rejuvenated again through holistic therapy approaches. You can find peace and reconnect with yourself.
As a burnout therapist and woman myself, I understand how it feels to be exhausted, burnt out, overwhelmed, and questioning my purpose in life. I’ve been through it myself and have learned how to not only get by, but to thrive again. And now I get to help other women reconnect with themselves.
What is Burnout?
Burnout is more than just being tired. It’s mental, emotional, and physical exhaustion that you can feel throughout every part of your body. You feel apathy and indifferent toward your profession or life. You have feelings of failure, helplessness, or hopelessness. You want to be alone and isolate from others because it just takes too much energy. You may experience more negative thoughts or become more critical of yourself and others.
Your body may feel tense, tight, or in pain. It might be difficult to empathize with others or provide self compassion. Your normal self care routines aren’t enough. You may take a bath, drink a glass of wine, hang out with friends or community, take deep breaths, do yoga, but you still feel exhausted. It’s not enough to help you feel relaxed or refreshed.
Burnout is especially prevalent in helping roles.
Maybe you’re a healthcare professional, taking care of your loved ones, a single mom, a therapist, a social worker, a teacher, etc. You give and give, but don’t get filled up. There comes a point when we can no longer give when we are running on empty.
Just as a car stops running when it runs out of gasoline, we can’t keep going if we are not getting what we need to feel refreshed, relaxed, connected to ourselves, and feel a sense of purpose and passion.
We all experience a level of stress that we can resolve through healthy self-care practices, support from loved ones, and doing things we enjoy. However, when it comes to burnout, extra support through therapy is needed to get back on your feet.
It doesn’t mean you’ve failed or aren’t strong enough. In fact, asking for help from a qualified burnout therapist is a strong and courageous thing to do. We are humans and we all need extra support sometimes.
Why Traditional Approaches Fall Short
When dealing with burnout, surface-level solutions don’t work. It’s important to address the root cause and not just the symptoms. Learning new techniques may provide minimal relief, but it takes time to practice these skills and feel the benefits.
This is not a quick-fix recovery. It’s more about making small, manageable changes that you can incorporate into your life while also being curious about what’s underneath all of the burnout.
Wildly Whole Counseling uses modern and effective approaches backed by research to provide lasting relief. This is holistic therapy for women that includes a whole body and results in long-lasting change.

Specialized Treatment Modalities:
Here are some of the modalities I primarily use with clients in my holistic therapy practice to help them get to the root issues, understand themselves better, build compassion, and feel relief.
EMDR
Past traumatic experiences or wounds in your childhood can contribute to the burnout you feel today. Additionally, a stressful recent incident or current stressors could be affecting your work-life balance.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy can help you process these overwhelming experiences and alleviate some of the current stress and exhaustion you’re experiencing. As a trained EMDR therapist serving therapy for women in Denton, I integrate this evidence-based approach into your burnout recovery plan.
IFS
The integration of IFS (Internal Family Systems) in our holistic therapy sessions can help you understand different parts of yourself, especially the parts that are exhausted, overworking, and trying to be perfect at everything. We can use parts work to find healing for those overworked parts and maybe help them to step back a little. This allows you to reconnect with your core self and improve your overall mental health.
Expressive Arts Therapy
Expressive arts therapy integrates multiple modalities of expression including art, movement, music, and writing. If you’re tired of talking or words aren’t enough to truly express how you feel traditional talk therapy will only go so far. This multimodal approach gives you many ways of expressing and processing so you feel relief. As part of my holistic therapy practice, expressive arts provide a unique pathway to stress recovery.
Whole Body Approaches
When dealing with burnout, we know it impacts the body through tension, pain, difficulty sleeping, eating habits, and more. Therefore, it’s crucial to address the body for healing and relief in our therapy for women in Texas.
Becoming more aware of the sensations you feel in your body and learning tools to regulate your nervous system are helpful ways to lower burnout. Learn to listen to what your body needs, reconnect with yourself, and provide the love and support that may have been neglected due to caring for everyone else’s needs above your own.
Trauma Focused
When dealing with burnout, it’s important to view the symptoms through a trauma-focused lens. As a trauma therapist with several years of experience, I use evidence-based methods to address trauma and alleviate trauma symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does burnout recovery take?
The timeline is different for each person seeking therapy for burnout. Some people only need 6-8 sessions, others need several months of holistic therapy. We will work together to determine your goals and clear ways to track your progress. We will continually check in to see what we need to shift to have a deeper experience in your therapy sessions.
What makes your approach different?
My approach as a burnout therapist is unique because I offer a holistic perspective, addressing the entire body. I am trained in several evidence-based approaches, including EMDR, TF-CBT, IFS, Expressive Arts Therapy, and have received extensive training in other trauma-focused treatments.
