Burnout

Get unstuck. Reclaim your energy. Remember who you are.

You’re doing all the right things—showing up, keeping the plates spinning, holding it together. But inside, something feels off.

You might be feeling exhausted, unfocused, or numb. And the worst part? You’ve felt this way for so long that you’re starting to wonder if it’s just who you are now.

This isn’t just stress.

Burnout is a deeper kind of depletion. It can look like:

  • Feeling emotionally flat, disconnected, or unmotivated.

  • Dreading tasks that used to feel easy.

  • Resentment of your calendar—and the people in it.

  • Wanting rest, but not knowing how to take it.

  • Losing sight of who you are outside of your role.

Why burnout happens:

Burnout isn’t caused by weakness—it’s caused by overload. Too many demands, not enough recovery. And, sometimes, a belief that rest is something you earn only after everything is done.

How can therapy help?

  • Understanding your burnout - where it started, why it stuck, and how it’s affecting you now.

  • Unlearning survival mode - so you can make space for actual rest—not just collapse.

  • Reconnecting with what matters - beyond the hustle, the emails, and the performance.

  • Reclaiming energy, clarity, and self-trust - not overnight—but step by step.

Our approach: Creating space to rest.

Burnout recovery starts with understanding—not judgment.

We don’t believe in quick fixes or toxic positivity. Instead, we help you make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and support you in making small, meaningful changes that last.

Our work together might include:

  • Identifying burnout patterns and what’s keeping them in place.

  • Using Internal Family Systems (IFS) to explore the parts of you that push hard, and what they’re trying to protect you from.

  • Solution-Focused Therapy to find what’s already working—and build on it.

  • Nervous system tools to help you move out of survival mode and into regulation.

  • Narrative Therapy techniques to help you rewrite the stories that no longer serve you.

You won’t get a list of things to optimize. You’ll get space to breathe, reflect, and feel like yourself again.

Burnout recovery isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing differently.

Sessions are available in-person in Calgary or virtually across Alberta.

Let’s talk about what thriving could actually look like. Book a consultation today.


Krista Teare, MC, CCC

Krista works with professionals and entrepreneurs who look like they have it all together—but feel anything but. She understands how burnout can hide behind productivity, perfectionism, and a packed calendar. Before becoming a therapist, Krista spent years in the business world and as an entrepreneur herself, and she brings that lived experience into the room with compassion, humour, and zero judgment.

In her sessions, Krista helps clients understand their patterns, reclaim their energy, and reconnect with what matters most. She uses modalities like Internal Family Systems (IFS), Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused approaches to create space for reflection and change. Krista believes burnout isn’t a personal failure—it’s a signal that something needs to shift. And therapy can help you do just that.

Morgan Donovan, MC, CCC

Morgan supports clients who are running on empty—those who have found themselves in patterns of putting others first and pushing through even when their own tank is low.

In therapy, Morgan’s gentle, steady presence invites your nervous system into a place of rest so that you can slow down, get curious about your inner experiences, and build back a sense of self and agency. She draws from Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help identify internal pressures causing you to over-perform, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to make sure your energy is being spent on the things you truly value, and somatic approaches to support nervous system recovery and deeper self-compassion. With Morgan, collaborate in honouring your experience while expanding your ability to reset, replenish, and move forward in a way that feels meaningful and sustainable.
