Therapy for High Achievers in NYC: A Client's Breakthrough
Project Spotlight: How Therapy Helped a High Achiever Reclaim Balance
One of Tarynn’s recent clients — a tech startup founder based in Union Square — reached out feeling emotionally drained, hyper-productive, and secretly overwhelmed. Like many high achievers in NYC, they were stuck in a cycle of perfectionism, people-pleasing, and chronic self-pressure.
Through weekly sessions focused on therapy for high achievers, Tarynn helped the client unpack the internal narratives driving their burnout. Using a combination of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic therapy, the client began identifying their inner critic, learning to soothe it with curiosity instead of shame.
After two months, the client reported deeper sleep, improved boundaries, and more emotional presence in both work and relationships. Their story mirrors that of many New Yorkers — especially in Flatiron, Chelsea, Midtown, and Williamsburg — who silently carry stress under a polished exterior.
You don’t need to wait for a crisis to begin therapy. Sometimes success becomes sustainable only when your nervous system feels safe again.
