CARE FOR PROFESSIONALS & EXECUTIVES
Therapy for Professionals, Executives
& Other High Achievers.
You don't need to explain billable hours, partnership politics, or the relentless demands of high-stakes performance. With 30 years in the corporate and legal trenches, Michael speaks your language and understands what is at stake.
You Don't Have to Educate Your Therapist on Your Career.
Most therapists have spent their entire adult lives in clinical or academic settings. They may not understand the adrenalized environments, deadlines, client expectations, and institutional dynamics that high-performing attorneys and executives navigate every day.
Michael spent three decades in practice before transitioning into clinical psychology. He understands the cognitive habits that make you formidable in your profession—analytical detachment, hyper-vigilance, and obsessive thoroughness—and how those exact same traits can erode your sleep, marriage, and personal peace when left unaddressed.
Conversations on Mental Health for Legal Professionals and Michael's Transition from Corporate Attorney to Therapist
Listen to Michael discuss the unique pressures, high-stakes perfectionism, and career crossroads faced by attorneys and executives, and how thoughtful psychotherapy helps high achievers reclaim balance and connection.
Where High Achievement Meets Internal Strain
Chronic Burnout & Exhaustion
When powering through is no longer sustainable, but stepping back feels dangerous to your identity or standing.
High-Stakes Stress & Perfectionism
Constantly anticipating worst-case scenarios, managing demanding clients, and never feeling able to truly shut off your mind.
Relational Strain at Home
Giving the best hours and energy of your day to your career, leaving emotional exhaustion and distance for your spouse and children.
Imposter Syndrome & Internal Isolation
Achieving external milestones while feeling privately uncertain, overwhelmed, or unable to be vulnerable with peers.
Career Inflection Points & Transitions
Weighing partnership, career pivot, retirement, or questioning whether the path you have built still aligns with who you are.
Substance Abuse and Behavioral Addictions
When the stresses of a high-pressure career lead to problematic self-medication or other harmful behaviors.
Uncompromised Discretion
Strict confidentiality and discretion is the bedrock of my practice. Whether in-person at my quiet Woodland Hills office or via encrypted telehealth, your privacy will always be respected.
“So many high achievers are used to powering through. Therapy invites you to pause and ask—what is all this really costing me, and what does real success look like from here?”
— MICHAEL ROSNER, JD, MA, LMFT
