Workplace Stress & Burnout Therapy with Jesse Cynamon, RP

Workplace stress has reached epidemic levels, with over 75% of Canadian workers reporting moderate to high stress levels. Burnout – characterized by emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced professional efficacy – affects 1 in 3 professionals. As someone who works with high-achievers daily, I understand that workplace challenges aren't just about "managing stress better." They're complex experiences involving identity, values, relationships, and fundamental questions about meaning and purpose.

You might be successful on paper but feel empty inside. Perhaps you're working harder than ever but accomplishing less. Maybe Sunday nights fill you with dread, or you can't seem to disconnect from work even during time off. These aren't signs of weakness or failure – they're natural responses to unsustainable work environments and the pressure to constantly perform. The good news is that with the right support, you can develop a healthier, more sustainable relationship with work.

As a Registered Psychotherapist with advanced training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I offer an approach that goes beyond typical stress management techniques. ACT helps you develop psychological flexibility – the ability to stay present and engaged even when work is challenging, while making choices aligned with your deeper values rather than just reacting to pressure.

Unlike traditional approaches that focus on eliminating stress (which is often impossible in demanding careers), ACT helps you change your relationship with workplace challenges. You'll learn to pursue meaningful work without being consumed by it, set boundaries without guilt, and find fulfillment beyond just achievement and recognition.
