Hustle & Heal Summit
Common signs work stress is affecting your health
Occupational stress is rarely just about a busy week. When sustained over weeks or months, it takes a real toll on your nervous system, focus, and daily functioning.
Persistent Anxiety & Tension
A constant knot in your stomach on Sunday evening, dread before opening your inbox, or chronic worry about performance and meetings.
Emotional Exhaustion & Overwhelm
Feeling drained before the workday even begins, feeling tearful or irritable over routine demands, or feeling unable to decompress off the clock.
Difficulty Focusing & Fog
Struggling to track conversations, missing details on tasks you usually handle with ease, or taking twice as long to complete assignments.
Sleep & Energy Disruptions
Waking up in the middle of the night thinking about work problems, restless sleep, or physical fatigue that weekends cannot seem to fix.
Trouble Managing Job Duties
Feeling like you are quietly falling behind, hesitating before taking on normal responsibilities, or dreading interactions with supervisors and teams.
Strain Spilling Outside of Work
Having no emotional energy left for family, relationships, or personal care after giving everything you have to get through the shift.
You do not have to have everything figured out: Whether you need ongoing counseling, time to step back through medical leave, or a clear sounding board, reaching out is the first step.
Request a ConsultationHow 290 Therapy can support you
We provide evidence-informed mental health therapy and clinical paperwork evaluations for professionals navigating work-related stress and burnout.
Therapy for Work-Related Stress & Anxiety
One-on-one psychotherapy focused on identifying sources of occupational distress, rebuilding nervous system resilience, processing workplace burnout, and restoring a healthy boundary between your job and your life.
Medical Leave Documentation Support
When clinical symptoms significantly impair your ability to perform essential job duties, we conduct thorough evaluations and assist with documentation for FMLA, short-term disability (STD), or medical leave when clinically indicated.
Life Inventory & Courses
Prefer to start with self-reflection? Our free, educational Life Inventory helps you pause and map out where your capacity is going. You can also explore personal development courses like Build a Life That You Feel Good In ($297).
What to expect during an evaluation
You do not need to arrive with all of the legal or HR terms memorized. During an initial consultation and clinical assessment, we explore your situation methodically and with care.
Nature of Your Request & Timelines
Whether you are considering full-time leave, intermittent FMLA, a reduced schedule, or workplace accommodations, and any employer paperwork deadlines.
Symptoms & Duration
The specific mental health symptoms you are experiencing (e.g., severe anxiety, panic, cognitive fatigue, insomnia) and how long they have been occurring.
Essential Job Duties & Specific Limitations
What your daily work entails and how current clinical symptoms directly interfere with your ability to perform those essential functions safely and effectively.
Treatment Needs & Recovery Plan
Ongoing therapy goals, clinical recommendations, follow-up cadence, and the support needed during any recommended leave or transition period.
We never collect sensitive health, employment, medication, or safety details through public website forms. All intake information and paperwork uploads are conducted inside our secure SimplePractice client portal.
Accuracy & Realistic Expectations
• Clinical evaluation required: Paperwork recommendations depend entirely on an individual, thorough clinical evaluation. Contacting the practice does not guarantee FMLA certification, disability support, or leave approval.
• No guaranteed outcomes: 290 Therapy cannot and does not promise FMLA certification, a particular duration or amount of leave, disability benefit approval, specific workplace accommodations, or return-to-work outcomes.
• Employer & administrator authority: Your employer, leave administrator, or benefit plan makes its own independent eligibility and approval decisions. Not every plan accepts certification from every provider type.
• Insurance & coverage: Insurance coverage is subject to your specific plan benefits and clinical criteria. This page provides clinical information and does not constitute legal or benefits advice.

You don't have to carry work distress alone.
"Work stress is not a personal failure or a lack of resilience. When a job chronically strains your nervous system and compromises your health, having clinical support and objective documentation can provide the breathing room you need to heal."
Whether you are seeking weekly therapy, clinical paperwork guidance, or quiet reflection through our educational tools, you are welcomed with warmth, clarity, and respect.
