Therapy for Entrepreneurs & Business Owners in NYC
Takeaway: For many people, their career is a cornerstone of their identity. This is especially true for entrepreneurs and business owners. As a professional, it can be hard to manage your work with your passions and relationships. Therapy for entrepreneurs in NYC can help you reconnect to your identity and find purpose both inside and outside of work.
As an entrepreneur or business owner, you face intense pressure: from your clients, coworkers or staff, from the people in your personal life-but most of all, you likely experience intense internal pressure trying to keep up with all of the demands.
Maybe you feel like an imposter, even though everyone in your life seems to view you as a successful entrepreneur. Maybe you want to start your own business but lack motivation or even fear success. On the other hand, maybe you pour yourself into your career but want a fulfilling life outside of work.

We don't believe in a one-size-fits-all treatment approach. After all, you are a unique individual with challenges and strengths all your own. We'll work with you to create a custom treatment plan that addresses your personal, emotional, and mental health goals.
With that being said, there are many common reasons why folks-especially entrepreneurs or small business owners-seek therapy. Many hope to learn new communication skills to improve their relationships, both inside and outside of work. Many others struggle with mental health conditions, such as anxiety, that keep them stuck in unhelpful thought patterns.

There are also several steps you can take to ensure that you get the most out of your time in counseling. First of all, simply attending consistent appointments can make a big difference for many people. Prioritizing this time for yourself can be a radical act of self care.
Aside from attending regular sessions, practicing your skills outside of session can be another way to improve your well being. Putting your skills to use in real-life situations can also give us the opportunity to troubleshoot and make improvements when we meet next.
Each person has a different experience with therapy. While there is no way to guarantee a certain outcome for your struggles, mental health problems, or worries, studies show that cognitive behavioral therapy is highly effective.
The more committed to the process you are, the better the outcomes of therapy tend to be. Keeping an open mind and showing up for yourself are some of the best ways to get the most out of your treatment.

Our Therapists
JULIA BAUM
MSED, BFA, LMHC (SHE/HER)
My path to psychotherapy developed organically from an unexpected place. Before I got here, my career was in the arts. I focused mostly on portraiture and planned on having a long career as a photographer. Eventually, though, I realized that my camera was actually getting in the way of my favorite part of the job—connecting with my subjects. What I loved most was getting to know each person and guiding them through a genuine expression of themselves.
