Who we help (and what you want instead)
If you’re an executive, founder, physician, attorney, investor, creator, or senior leader, you likely don’t need a basic “how are you feeling?” session. You want therapy that is confidential, efficient, and practical—with strategies that translate at boardroom speed and still honor your life outside of work.
Typical reasons leaders reach out:
- You can execute under pressure but can’t switch off.
- Wins fade fast; you feel high‑functioning but empty.
- Overthinking and control loops are burning time and sleep.
- Quiet relationship strain (co‑founder tension, marriage on the back burner, parenting guilt).
- Anxiety about reputation, visibility, or a public role.
- A recent jolt (funding round, merger, lawsuit, media attention, affair discovery, health scare) that made status quo unsustainable.
What you want: Focus, steadier mood, better boundaries, fewer 11PM spirals, and practical tools that protect your performance and your people.
If that’s you, we can help. Call (562) 295‑6650 or https://cerevity.com/get-started.
What “executive therapy” means here
At CEREVITY, we provide online therapy across California for adults who carry outsized responsibility. “Executive therapy” is simply therapy tailored to high‑stakes roles—same clinical depth, delivered in a way that respects time, privacy, and outcomes.
Expect:
- Clear goals every 4 weeks and alignment on what success looks like.
- Evidence‑based care (CBT/skills‑based, trauma‑informed, attachment‑aware) without jargon.
- Boundary & nervous‑system work (downshift tools, decision hygiene, sleep protection).
- Relationship repair skills for home and leadership contexts.
- Discreet scheduling and HIPAA‑compliant platforms—no in‑person sessions.
Session options (choose your pace)
| Format | Best for | What it looks like |
|---|---|---|
| Weekly 50‑minute | Ongoing stress, anxiety, performance drift | Same time weekly. Short between‑session assignments. |
| 75‑minute focused | Relationship/leadership patterns that need more room | Deeper work + practical scripts (feedback, boundaries, repair). |
| 3‑hour accelerated | Limited time, high urgency, or a complex turning point | Extended block with breaks; map patterns → rehearse tools → leave with a 2‑week plan. |
Not sure which is right? Call (562) 295‑6650 or https://cerevity.com/get-started and we’ll help you decide.
The first 4 weeks (simple, structured)
Week 1 — Intake & Direction. We clarify what’s happening now (symptoms, stakes, constraints), set 2–3 concrete outcomes, and agree on format (50/75/180 minutes).
Week 2 — Pattern Map. Identify triggers, body cues, and thought loops that keep you stuck (overthinking, control, avoidance). Start one 90‑second downshift drill you can use anywhere.
Week 3 — Skill Rehearsal. Practice scripts for hard conversations (with partner, co‑founder, team), boundary lines, and decision hygiene.
Week 4 — Review & Adjust. What changed? What still sticks? We refine tools and set the next 4‑week focus.
Between sessions: concise assignments—journal prompts, one conversation, one routine tweak—not a second job.
Why private pay (and why many leaders prefer it)
- Privacy first: No insurance involvement in your records. We can provide superbills upon request.
- Faster starts: No network bottlenecks.
- Right length, right focus: Choose 50, 75, or 180 minutes based on need, not billing rules.
- High‑touch care: The work stays tailored to your goals, not a pre‑set checklist.
What we work on (common results)
- Anxiety down, clarity up: fewer racing‑thought nights; faster calm after surprises.
- Better boundaries: clearer yes/no at work and at home; less resentment.
- Relationship repair: fewer blowups, more honest bids for connection; a plan that fits two demanding calendars.
- Leader presence: steadier tone under stress; feedback that lands; less overfunctioning.
- Sustainable pace: small routines that protect sleep, attention, and weekends.
Discretion for public roles
If you’re in the public eye (media, medicine, law, tech, finance, politics, entertainment), discretion is not optional. Sessions are online only (never in‑person), scheduled with privacy in mind, and conducted on HIPAA‑compliant platforms. We do not record sessions. If higher anonymity is needed, we’ll discuss extra steps (naming in calendar invites, communication preferences, secure messaging).
How online sessions work (simple tech, zero travel)
- Platform: HIPAA‑compliant video.
- Setup: Quiet space + headphones recommended.
- Backups: If tech glitches, we switch to a secure backup quickly.
- Location: You can join from anywhere in California (we are a telehealth‑only practice).
A note on couples & leadership spillover
Work stress doesn’t stop at the door. If relationship strain is part of the picture, we can focus there as well. Many clients start individual work and later schedule a focused couples block (75 minutes or 3 hours) to learn repair tools that stick when life is busy.
What to expect in a 3‑hour accelerated session
- Hour 1: Fast but thorough pattern map; clarify the pivotal decision/tension.
- Hour 2: Skill rehearsal—boundary scripts, feedback language, or repair dialogue.
- Hour 3: Implementation plan for the next two weeks (sleep, comms, meetings, home routines) + a brief follow‑up check.
It’s not a shortcut—it’s concentrated work when time is tight.
When executive therapy is a good fit
- High responsibility + persistent anxiety, burnout, or numbness.
- Repeating conflict patterns at home or with key stakeholders.
- You want a private, practical lane that respects your calendar.
- You prefer to pay privately and start quickly.
If that fits, call (562) 295‑6650
