Therapy for overfunctioning

Life is about more than the hustle. Give yourself the gift of finding purpose, pleasure and peace in the pauses.

Austin therapy for perfectionists, caretakers, and anyone who finds themselves overwhelmed and unfulfilled. We work with adults who find themselves with packed calendars (yep, even in the time of Covid) but often feel lonely; who have successful careers but feel like it's never enough; who are parents raising incredible humans but who always feel like they're falling short; who are caregivers who don’t have time for self-care. We know how hard it can be to stop and notice when the busy-ness isn't working anymore, and how much harder it can be to know what to do to change the cycle.

At GT Therapy Group, we can help you slow down just long enough to find a different way to experience your life, so that you can be busy in ways that are actually meaningful and find more purpose in being present, not perfect. 

challenging the glorification of busy

If you are one of the millions of Americans who feel busier than ever, but like it's never enough, then trust us when we say: "It's not you, it's the culture."  Maybe you've never tried therapy before, but have had the nagging feeling that something is missing. Maybe you've wrestled with feeling like it's a sign of weakness to ask for help. Maybe you've wanted to talk to someone but have said over and over again: "There just isn't enough time." 

Being busy can help us create the illusion of having it all, but it also can leave us disconnected, numb, worn out, and anxious. 

Therapy is one of the only places where we give ourselves permission to just be. Where we have a partner who can help us learn how to slow down, tune in to our minds and our bodies in a new way, and who can help us create more meaning & purpose in our overscheduled lives. It's a place where we are tasked with uncovering what's really important amidst all the urgent items on our to-do lists, and where we can shift into a more intentional & mindful way of moving in our lives and in our relationships.
