Senior Executives and High Performers Therapy

Mental health is a challenge for different individuals at every level within any organization and C-Suite executives are not any different. Different studies have shown that senior executives and other professionally high-performing individuals are more likely to suffer depression, stress, anxiety and burnout than others. After all, high stress careers, poor work-life balance, and limited self-care typical of this type of job are the perfect recipe for poor mental health. 

As a senior executive or high performer, you might feel that in addition to the struggles faced by other people in your organization, you face extra challenges associated with your position such as: 

  • The pressure of being responsible and accountable for the company, its success, the success and stability of your team and the clients they serve. 
  • The expectation to be available at all times and to be fully dedicated to the business 24/7. 
  • As a public face for the company, the need to always show strength, security and success even on your bad days. 
  • The constant pressure and risk of reputational damage if you commit any mistake as you navigate business difficulties. 
  • The fear of not delivering the results expected by the organization, its shareholders and other employees. 
  • The poor or non-existent work-life balance that makes you struggle in your personal and family life. 
  • The added pressure of having to hide your stress, anxiety or depression as you feel this will be seen by others – even your own family – as a sign of weakness and how this might make others question your ability to manage the company. 

Mental health difficulties are not a character flaw, a sign of weakness, or a reflection of your management ability. And there is no shame in taking steps to improve your mental health. Failing to address your stress, anxiety, depression, or other issues could derail the career you worked so hard to build. Addressing your mental health issues can have a positive impact on both your personal and professional life, drive better business results and increase job satisfaction. At Sage, our team of professionals has extensive experience in dealing with executive burnout, depression and anxiety in senior executives and high performers. 

Who can benefit from it? 

Senior executives or high performers who are dealing with mental health challenges such as anxiety, low mood, motivational issues or burnout.

John's Journey

John, the CEO of a large tech company, had always prided himself on his resilience, ambition, and ability to lead his team through even the most challenging situations. However, in recent months, he found himself struggling with overwhelming feelings of burnout and imposter syndrome, despite his outward success and achievements.

As the demands of his role increased and the pressure to perform escalated, John began experiencing physical exhaustion, mental fatigue, and emotional depletion. He found it increasingly difficult to concentrate, make decisions, and maintain his usual level of productivity. Despite his outward confidence, internally, he felt like he was constantly falling short and feared that others would discover he was not as competent or capable as he appeared to be.

Recognizing the toll that burnout and imposter syndrome were taking on his well-being and professional effectiveness, John decided to seek help at Sage Clinics. During his initial consultation, he expressed his concerns about feeling overwhelmed, depleted, and plagued by self-doubt. He admitted that he struggled to find joy in his work and worried that he was on the brink of burnout.

The therapist at Sage Clinics conducted a comprehensive assessment of John's symptoms and experiences, exploring the factors contributing to his burnout and imposter syndrome. They discussed the pressures of his leadership role, his perfectionistic tendencies, and the unrealistic expectations he placed on himself. Together, they developed a personalized treatment plan to help John regain his balance, confidence, and sense of purpose.

The treatment plan included a combination of therapy modalities tailored to address John's specific needs and goals. Cognitive-behavioral techniques were used to challenge negative thought patterns, reframe self-limiting beliefs, and develop healthier coping strategies for managing stress and anxiety. Mindfulness and relaxation exercises were incorporated to promote self-care, resilience, and emotional regulation.

Additionally, the therapist and John explored strategies for setting boundaries, delegating tasks, and prioritizing self-care in his professional and personal life. They discussed the importance of seeking support from his leadership team, fostering a culture of open communication, and acknowledging his own limitations and vulnerabilities as a leader.

Throughout the therapy process, John received unconditional support, empathy, and validation from his therapist. He learned to recognize the signs of burnout and imposter syndrome, cultivate self-compassion, and practice self-acceptance. With the guidance and encouragement of Sage Clinics, John embarked on a journey of self-discovery and transformation, reclaiming his passion for his work and navigating the challenges of his leadership role with greater resilience and authenticity.
