The research shows…
Anxiety affects 1 in 5 adults annually
Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental health conditions, often emerging alongside chronic stress, burnout, and sleep disruption.
66% of workers report symptoms of burnout
Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental health conditions, often emerging alongside chronic stress, burnout, and sleep disruption.
Burnout and anxiety are strongly linked
Research consistently shows that as burnout increases, anxiety symptoms increase in parallel—reflecting shared nervous system dysregulation and prolonged stress activation.
Workplace stress is a primary driver of burnout, second to caregiving burnout (hello working parents!)
High demands, low autonomy, and insufficient support are among the strongest predictors—regardless of personality, motivation, or coping skills.
3X higher response rates with CBT Therapy
Research shows individuals receiving cognitive behavioral therapy had almost three times (or 3xs) higher response rates than those not receiving support. (Pubmed)
The benefits of therapy last beyond session.
Large meta-analyses show that improvements in anxiety continue for 6–12 months after treatment with relatively low relapse rates (as low as 0–14%). PMC
Wondering why you feel this way?
Anxiety is, at its core, a protective response. When your brain perceives pressure, uncertainty, or overload, it stays in a heightened state of alert to help you “manage” what feels like too much. Burnout happens when that state is prolonged without adequate rest or regulation. Over time, the system that is designed to protect you begins to feel like it is working against you. You are not broken. You are likely overextended.
-
Chronic overstimulation - Constant notifications, noise, decision-making, and digital input keep the brain in a near-continuous state of processing.
High internal and external expectations - Many people are navigating pressure to perform, succeed, parent well, maintain relationships, and “hold it together” simultaneously.
Lack of true rest and recovery - Rest is often fragmented or replaced with distraction rather than nervous system restoration.
Emotional labor and invisible load - Managing others’ needs, anticipating problems, and carrying mental “to-do lists” can create ongoing cognitive exhaustion.
Limited support or feeling alone in stress - Without consistent emotional or practical support, the nervous system stays in survival mode longer.
Life transitions and cumulative stress - Major shifts—parenthood, work changes, health issues, relationship stress—build on each other rather than occurring in isolation.
How therapy can help you feel less on overdrive:
Therapy is not about becoming “more productive.” It is about restoring regulation, clarity, and a sense of internal steadiness so your life no longer requires constant recovery from itself.
You’re likely reading this because your system may be asking for something different—not more effort, but more peace, support, and space to recover. Therapy helps slow the cycle, regulate the nervous system, and untangle the patterns that keep you in survival mode—so you can move from simply coping to feeling steady, clear, and more like yourself again. It can provide tools to reset, release, find peace, fill life with less chaos and more calm.
Have We Met Yet?
I’m Megan
Licensed Therapist | Toddler Mom | Waterwoman
I earned my undergraduate degree at UC San Diego and my Masters (MSW) from San Diego State University, where I honed my passion for supporting people through life’s ups and downs. I’m trained in EMDR, trauma-focused work with families and children, and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), and I support clients by blending top-down (from the mind) and bottom-up (from the body) somatic approaches to help nervous systems feel more settled and grounded.
I specialize in women’s mental health, especially maternal mental health, after seeing a gap in support for moms navigating postpartum anxiety, birth trauma, and the chaos of early parenting. Over the years, I’ve worked with women, mothers, teens, children, and families—helping them find balance, insight, and a little more peace in the messy, beautiful moments of life.
I started Seaworthy Therapy to create a space where healing feels human, relatable, and hopeful —where women feel seen, supported, and empowered to navigate life’s waves. My goal is to help clients build resilience, reconnect with themselves, and find more flow in their lives.
