Therapy for Work Burnout

When success comes at the cost of your well-being, it's time to reset

Dubai is a city that thrives on ambition, but the pressure to perform can sometimes lead to physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion. If you're feeling drained, irritable, or disconnected from work you once loved, you might be experiencing burnout. At American Wellness Center, we help professionals regain balance, recover from chronic stress, and reconnect with a healthier pace of life.

Who This Is For

  • Professionals in Dubai experiencing chronic fatigue or low motivation
  • Individuals feeling emotionally detached or cynical about their work
  • People who struggle to switch off, even outside work hours
  • High-achievers facing imposter syndrome, self-doubt, or overcommitment
  • Entrepreneurs, healthcare workers, teachers, or corporate employees under sustained pressure
  • Anyone whose stress is beginning to affect health, mood, or relationships

What We Address

  • Chronic Stress & Exhaustion: Physical and mental fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest
  • Emotional Detachment: Feeling numb, indifferent, or withdrawn from responsibilities
  • Overwork & Perfectionism: Unrealistic self-expectations or lack of boundaries
  • Sleep Problems: Insomnia, restless nights, or early waking due to work thoughts
  • Work-Life Imbalance: Struggles to disconnect, rest, or enjoy time off
  • Anxiety & Guilt Around Productivity: Feeling like you're never doing enough

Our Approach to Care

At AWC, we provide non-judgmental, tailored support to help you recover from burnout:

  • Stress Management Therapy: To help regulate your nervous system and reduce overwhelm
  • CBT for Burnout: To challenge unrealistic expectations and build healthier habits
  • Mindfulness & Relaxation Techniques: To re-train your brain to rest and reset
  • Values-Based Coaching: To help realign your work with what truly matters to you
  • Psychoeducation: About burnout cycles and sustainable recovery strategies
  • Lifestyle & Emotional Wellness Support: Sleep, boundaries, nutrition, and purpose

We meet you where you are—no lectures, no pressure, just support.


Burnout: The Modern Professional's Crisis

Burnout is now recognized as an occupational phenomenon—especially in high-demand environments where constant connectivity blurs the line between work and rest. Nearly half of working adults report feeling emotionally exhausted or unmotivated at some point. Therapy helps address the root causes of burnout and supports sustainable recovery, often preventing further escalation into depression or anxiety.

  • Confidential, central location in Dubai with flexible scheduling
  • Multidisciplinary support including psychiatry, coaching, and nutrition if needed
  • Focused on realistic solutions that respect your career and life demands
  • A safe space to pause, reflect, and reset
