Burnout isn’t just about being tired — it’s a deep, persistent exhaustion that can impact your mind, body, and sense of purpose. You might feel irritable, checked out, or constantly behind. Even things you used to enjoy may feel like just another task. Chronic stress can leave you in survival mode, especially when rest doesn’t feel possible and the pressures around you don’t let up.

At Intersect, we understand how burnout often hides in plain sight — especially among high achievers, caregivers, and those navigating systemic barriers. When you’ve been holding everything together for a long time, asking for support can feel unfamiliar, or even guilt-inducing. But you don’t have to carry it alone.

Our first priority is creating a space where you can exhale — a space that honors your pace, values your voice, and makes room for your full humanity. We use approaches like mindfulness, somatic work, CBT, and values-based therapy to help you reconnect with what matters to you, set boundaries that reflect your needs, and move toward a life that feels more sustainable and less overwhelming.

You deserve support that sees both your strength and your limits — and helps you make space for rest, clarity, and care.

Who you are and who you're becoming might not always feel easy to name. You may be questioning aspects of your identity, navigating shifting relationships, or figuring out how to live more fully in alignment with your values. Life transitions like graduating, moving, changing careers, or coming out can bring growth and possibility but also confusion, grief, or a sense of being unmoored.

At Intersect, we support people through the in-between, the moments when things are changing on the outside or inside, and you're trying to make sense of it all. We know that identity isn't one-dimensional, and we honor how race, culture, gender, sexuality, faith, neurodivergence, and lived experience shape your journey.

Our approach is collaborative and grounded in curiosity, not assumptions. Whether you’re exploring your sense of self, adjusting to a major life change, or unpacking old narratives that no longer fit, we’re here to listen, reflect, and support your growth. There’s no roadmap for becoming who you are but therapy can be a place to pause, reflect, and take the next step with intention.

Anxiety and depression can be loud — racing thoughts, constant worry, exhaustion that doesn't go away. But sometimes they’re quiet. You might feel disconnected from yourself or others, going through the motions while feeling emotionally flat or numb. Whether it’s intense overwhelm or a lingering sense of emptiness, these experiences can make it hard to feel present or hopeful.

At Intersect, we know that these feelings don’t arise in a vacuum. High pressure environments, unresolved trauma, identity stress, and chronic overwhelm can all contribute — especially for those holding marginalized identities. We take the time to understand the full context of what you're carrying, without judgment or assumptions.

Starting therapy can feel like a leap, especially when vulnerability feels unfamiliar or unsafe. That’s why our first priority is to co-create a space where you feel respected, supported, and in control of your healing process. Our clinicians use evidence-based practices to help you move through stuck patterns, reconnect with your emotions, and build a more compassionate relationship with yourself.

We’re not here to “fix” you — we’re here to help you feel more whole, more understood, and more able to meet life on your own terms.

Relationships can be some of our greatest sources of connection — and also some of our biggest stressors. You might find yourself stuck in the same arguments, struggling to express your needs, or feeling distant from people you care about. Whether the tension shows up with partners, family, friends, or colleagues, it can leave you feeling unseen, misunderstood, or emotionally drained.

At Intersect, we help you explore the deeper patterns beneath communication breakdowns, including past relational wounds, cultural expectations, and identity dynamics that may be shaping how you show up with others. We understand that for many people, especially those from marginalized or high-pressure environments, expressing needs or setting boundaries hasn’t always felt safe or possible.

In therapy, we create space to explore your relationship to vulnerability, repair, and connection. Our clinicians draw from relational, somatic, and attachment-based approaches to support you in identifying your needs, understanding your triggers, and practicing more honest, grounded communication. Whether you’re looking to improve a current relationship or better understand your patterns, we’re here to support your growth - not just in how you relate to others, but in how you relate to yourself.

You’ve been doing everything “right” - pushing through, showing up, getting things done. But underneath the achievements, you may feel anxious, overwhelmed, or like it’s never quite enough. Whether you’re navigating a demanding job, graduate program, or academic pressures, the weight of high expectations can take a toll on your mental health and sense of self.

At Intersect, we work with high-achieving students and professionals who are used to holding it all together. We understand that success can sometimes mask exhaustion, imposter feelings, or a deep disconnection from your own needs. For many, these struggles are compounded by identity-related pressures — being the only one, code-switching, managing cultural expectations, or dealing with unspoken biases in competitive environments.

In therapy, we’ll help you slow down and reconnect with what matters — not just what’s expected. We draw from evidence-based approaches to support you in managing anxiety, challenging perfectionism, setting boundaries, and redefining success on your own terms. You don’t have to keep pushing at the expense of your well-being. You deserve support that honors both your ambition and your humanity.

Finding affirming care can feel like another hurdle in a system that often asks trans, nonbinary, and gender-diverse people to explain or justify who they are. At Intersect, we believe you deserve support that sees you, respects your process, and centers your autonomy.

We offer gender-affirming therapy that includes space to explore identity, process experiences of dysphoria or euphoria, and navigate family, medical, or social transitions on your terms. Our clinicians have experience writing letters of support for gender-affirming care (including HRT and surgery), and are skilled at coordinating with providers to reduce unnecessary gatekeeping.

Whether you're seeking support at the beginning of your journey, in the midst of transition, or years into living your truth, we're here to meet you where you are.

For many people, the signs of ADHD or autism haven’t always been obvious, even to teachers, doctors, or even themselves. Especially for folks who are BIPOC, women, LGBTQIA+, or raised in high-expectation or high-stigma environments, neurodivergence is often missed, misdiagnosed, or misunderstood. Instead of support, people are told they’re too sensitive, lazy, dramatic, disorganized, or intense.

At Intersect, we understand that neurodivergence doesn’t always show up the way it’s portrayed in textbooks or on TV. We recognize how culture, race, gender, and environment shape how traits are expressed and whether they’re validated or pathologized. We take seriously the emotional toll of being overlooked or forced to mask in systems that weren’t built with your brain in mind.

Whether you're seeking diagnostic clarity or just trying to make sense of long-held experiences like difficulty focusing, sensory overload, burnout, people-pleasing, or emotional reactivity, we're here to explore it with care and curiosity. We offer both therapy and neurodivergent-affirming assessments to help you name what’s real and build a life that works with your wiring, not against it.

This process isn’t about labeling you. It’s about understanding you more deeply, honoring how you've adapted, and helping you access the support you’ve always deserved.
