Christine Viveiros, OT Reg. (Ont.), Psychotherapist and Certified Workplace Mindfulness Facilitator
I help professionals struggling with burnout to take their foot off the gas pedal and balance their to dos with peace and presence no matter what’s going on around them.
If you’re feeling:
STRESSED there’s so much to do
FRUSTRATED because you can’t get it all done
IRRITATED with people and setbacks
EXHAUSTED to the point you're considering a leave of absence
ANXIOUS about returning to work
CONFUSED about your career path
I can help.
Does this sound familiar?
You’ve worked hard to get where you are, but the demands on you have piled up over the years and it feels like you’re going to crack under the pressure.
An overly busy mind and body is impacting everything you do. You’re not performing at your best. Memory, focus, and concentration is a struggle. You work extra hours to catch up but you never seem to get there. You can’t turn your mind off for relaxation or sleep. You’re running around fulfilling commitments you don’t really care about, but think you should. You rarely have time for yourself.
You know in your gut that something has to change, but you don’t know where to start.
The path to well-being can be overwhelming and confusing. You may need a different way of relating to your struggles. You don’t have to figure it out alone.
I provide a safe container for you to explore deep questions with honesty and non-judgement. Through evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Mindfulness, you will gain a new perspective on your situation and get to the root of why work and other life areas are causing stress, so you can break the patterns no longer serving you.
Your usual struggles will start to feel more like an openness to enjoy what the day brings, no matter what happens. Common effects of therapy with me include feeling: calmer, more focused and aware, connected, fulfilled, and freer to make choices aligned with what you want. You don’t have to keep doing what you have been doing. The changes you implement (e.g. breathing techniques, meaningful activity, healthy boundaries) have been shown to result in less anxiety, better mood, and restful sleep.
What becomes possible when you commit to the life you want to live?
Being present - feeling connected to and engaging with loved ones, colleagues, and all beings
Creating with purpose - vitality and satisfaction derived from expressing your unique gifts and talents, followed by rest and recovery
Playing - saying yes to an invitation or your next adventure
Learning and growing - approaching each moment as a new chance to try again
Living intentionally - how do you want to show up today? Where do you want to put your energy?
