At Wholesome Psychology, we recognize the deep toll that work-related stress, personal responsibilities, and life transitions can take on your mental well-being. Whether you're navigating a demanding career, managing caregiving duties, or simply trying to find more time for yourself, achieving a sustainable work-life balance can feel overwhelming. Our compassionate therapists in Edmonton and St. Albert specialize in helping individuals regain balance, reduce burnout, and rediscover joy in both personal and professional life.

Why Work-Life Balance Matters

Maintaining a healthy work-life balance is more than just managing time—it's about protecting your energy, boundaries, and mental health. Chronic stress and burnout not only impact your productivity at work but can also harm relationships, physical health, and overall quality of life. Burnout symptoms may include emotional exhaustion, irritability, trouble sleeping, anxiety, and a growing sense of detachment. Over time, these symptoms can spiral into more serious mental health concerns like depression or chronic anxiety.

Our team is here to help you recognize the signs of burnout early and develop a personalized path toward recovery. Whether you're feeling depleted from your career, parenting, caregiving, or academic pressures, we’re here to support your journey toward renewed energy and purpose.

How Burnout Counseling Helps

Burnout counseling offers more than a temporary break from stress—it provides a long-term strategy for change. Through therapy, you’ll gain clarity on your priorities, understand your stress patterns, and develop new tools to manage responsibilities without sacrificing your well-being. Our individual therapy sessions are tailored to meet your unique needs and goals, whether that involves stress management techniques, cognitive reframing, or setting healthy boundaries at work or home.

At Wholesome Psychology, we take a collaborative, strengths-based approach. We won’t tell you what to do—we’ll help you explore what matters most to you and develop sustainable changes that support both your personal and professional self.

Common Issues We Support

• Workplace burnout or compassion fatigue
• Difficulty setting boundaries with employers or colleagues
• Guilt around taking breaks or prioritizing self-care
• Emotional exhaustion from parenting or caregiving
• Loss of motivation or disconnection from values
• Perfectionism and overachievement patterns

Our licensed therapists in Edmonton and St. Albert will meet you with warmth and understanding—never judgment. Together, we’ll identify the sources of burnout and build a path forward that aligns with your life goals.

Personalized Therapy That Fits Your Life

No two people experience burnout the same way. That’s why we work with you to design a therapy plan that fits your lifestyle, values, and pace. We offer a range of approaches based on your needs—from mindfulness-based strategies to cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and emotion-focused techniques. Every step of the way, your therapist will create a space where you feel safe, seen, and empowered.

We know that life doesn't pause for therapy, so we offer flexible appointment times and both in-person sessions in Edmonton and St. Albert and secure virtual therapy options. Your mental health matters, and we're committed to helping you prioritize it in a way that feels realistic and sustainable.

What to Expect From Your First Session

We offer your first session at a reduced rate to help you feel comfortable exploring therapy without pressure. During this session, your therapist will take the time to understand your current challenges, goals, and history. Together, you’ll outline a direction that aligns with what balance looks like for you.

Some clients come to therapy with clear goals, while others are unsure but know something needs to change. Wherever you're starting from, we're here to walk alongside you at your pace.

Real Support From Real People

Our team is grounded in compassion, authenticity, and professionalism. We believe in the healing power of connection and trust. That’s why we prioritize building genuine therapeutic relationships, not just providing a service.
