Break Free from Burnout, Overwhelm & Emotional Exhaustion

Trauma-informed therapy in Rockville, MD and the DMV area for high-capacity women of color and LGBTQIA+ folks who are ready to feel grounded, regulated, and whole again.

You’re Tired—but Not Just Tired. You’re Carrying Too Much.

Maybe your mind races at night while your body feels like it’s sinking. Maybe your usual routines feel heavy. Or maybe you keep showing up for everyone else—even when you’re unraveling inside.

If you’ve been stuck in cycles of burnout, worry, overthinking, or disconnection, you’re not broken. You’re likely just exhausted from years of survival mode.

At The Unbothered Therapist, therapy is where you can finally stop performing and start healing—with support that honors your identity, your nervous system, and your emotional truth.

Signs You May Be Experiencing More Than Just Stress

This work may be for you if you’re:

  • Constantly tense, overwhelmed, or overstimulated

  • Emotionally exhausted—even when you’re “doing everything right”

  • Disconnected from joy, motivation, or your body

  • Struggling to sleep, focus, or manage your mood

  • Feeling pressure to always be “on,” even when you’re barely hanging on

  • Coping through overworking, emotional eating, numbing, or shutting down

These patterns are common for high-functioning women, BIPOC professionals, caregivers, and folks who’ve been taught to stay small, stay quiet, or stay strong—no matter the cost.

Why Unbothered Therapy Helps with Anxiety, Depression & Burnout

For many high-functioning women, BIPOC professionals, and LGBTQIA+ folks, anxiety and depression don’t always look the way people expect. You might be leading teams, managing a household, or showing up for your community—while silently unraveling.

At The Unbothered Therapist, we understand how trauma, systemic stress, and survival mode shape your emotional world. That’s why our work goes deeper than just managing symptoms—it’s about creating safety in your body, clarity in your mind, and softness in your day-to-day life.

You don’t need to explain your culture, code-switch, or minimize your pain here.

This is therapy that honors:

  • The complexity of carrying “everything” while appearing fine

  • The connection between your nervous system and your emotional patterns

  • The exhaustion that comes from constantly being “on”

  • The reality that healing happens at your pace—not a clinical timeline

  • The importance of rest, boundaries, and body-based care in your recovery

If traditional therapy hasn’t felt like enough, this space is different—for a reason.

The Unbothered Approach to Healing Stress, Anxiety, and Depression

Your experience deserves more than a clinical checklist or a surface-level solution.

Here, therapy is:

  • Trauma-informed & identity-affirming — No code-switching required.

  • Rooted in nervous system care — We focus on regulation, not just coping.

  • A space to feel, soften, and shift — At your own pace, without pressure.

  • A place to explore tools that actually work for your emotional bandwidth.

We may use EMDR, somatic grounding, inner child work, or mindfulness strategies to help you reconnect with yourself, challenge shame-based beliefs, and build new patterns that support your capacity.
