Life has been feeling overwhelming, paralyzing, and uncertain… Struggling with Anxiety, Burnout, and Work-Life Balance in Scottsdale?
On the outside, you’re successful and dependable.
On the inside, you’re overwhelmed, anxious, and exhausted from holding it all together.
Many high-achieving professionals struggle quietly with anxiety, burnout, shame, and difficulty setting boundaries. You may be the person everyone relies on (at work and at home) but you’re running on empty. You say yes when you mean no. You replay conversations in your head. You hold yourself to impossible standards and feel frustrated when you can’t keep up.
Over time, the pressure to perform and care for everyone else can leave you disconnected from yourself.
At Kuhl Mental Health, I provide therapy in Scottsdale for those who want practical tools and deeper clarity — not just a place to vent. Together, we’ll work to:
Reduce anxiety and chronic stress
Recover from burnout
Strengthen boundaries without guilt
Improve work-life balance
Address shame and self-criticism
Create sustainable systems so life feels more manageable
Therapy isn’t about changing who you are but it’s about helping your life feel aligned with the person you want to be.
If you’re a hard-working professional in Scottsdale feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or stretched too thin, you don’t have to keep doing this alone. With the right support and structure, life can feel calmer, clearer, and more intentional.
Something needs to change.
Do you find yourself questioning your self-worth or wondering who you are anymore?
Maybe you’ve been defined by a role, relationship, or title for so long that without it, you’re unsure where you stand. Or perhaps the constant stress of trying to keep up — at work, at home, or within yourself — has left you feeling drained and uncertain. It’s completely normal to feel lost, anxious about the future, or stuck in cycles of self-doubt.
Therapy can help you slow down, quiet the noise, and begin to understand what’s really driving your stress. Together, we’ll work on rebuilding your sense of self, learning healthy ways to manage pressure, and finding calm amid the chaos. Your worth isn’t measured by what you do — it’s reflected in your values, your resilience, and your willingness to keep growing. With support, uncertainty can start to feel less like a threat and more like an opportunity to rediscover who you are and what truly matters.
Hey, I’m Marissa! I got you!
I’m a stress management therapist in Scottsdale, AZ
Offering In-Person and Online Virtual Therapy Appointments throughout Arizona
Life is full of transitions—some exciting, some exhausting, and some that just leave you wondering, “Wait… how did I get here?” As a therapist, I’m here to help you navigate those shifts with compassion, clarity, and a little bit of humor when life gets messy.
My role at Kuhl Mental Health is to create a safe, grounded space where you can pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself. Whether you’re stepping into adulthood, facing career changes, juggling family pressures, healing from a breakup or divorce, or just feeling weighed down by the everyday chaos, I’m here to walk alongside you without judgment and with practical support.
Together, we’ll honor what’s ending (and celebrate what’s beginning), get clear on what really matters to you, and build tools to manage stress, uncertainty, and all those curveballs life throws your way. My goal is to help you move forward with confidence, purpose, and emotional balance so that change doesn’t just feel manageable, it can also help you feel more like you again.
Stress Management Therapy Services
Therapy for Starting Over
Are you going through a big change like graduating, becoming a parent, ending a relationship, or redefining your identity-and feeling overwhelmed or uncertain about what's next? Therapy can help you make sense of this transition, reconnect with your authentic self, and move forward with greater awareness and resilience.
Therapy for High-Achieving Professionals
Are you constantly pushing yourself but still feeling overwhelmed, drained, or stretched too thin? Do long hours, high expectations, and the pressure to “keep it together” make it hard to slow down or take care of yourself? When success comes at the cost of your well-being, it can leave you exhausted, disconnected, and unsure how to find balance. Therapy provides space to manage stress, build healthier routines, and thrive without burning out.
Therapy for Anxiety & Shame
Are you on edge, overthinking, or feeling like you’re never doing enough? Does the voice in your head say you’re the problem — that you should be better, calmer, more in control? Anxiety and shame often intertwine, creating a cycle that’s exhausting and hard to break. Therapy helps ease self-judgment and build greater self-trust and emotional clarity.
Therapy For Grief & Loss
Are you feeling numb, stuck, or weighed down after a loss? Maybe you wonder if your feelings are “normal” or why the pain hasn’t eased with time. Grief unfolds in its own way and healing has no set timeline. Grief therapy offers a compassionate space to explore your emotions and find meaning and healing at your own pace.
Therapy for the Caregiver
Are you feeling exhausted or emotionally drained from caring for a loved one? Does guilt or frustration make it hard to prioritize your own needs? Caregiving can deeply impact your well-being. Therapy offers a safe space to process stress, set boundaries, and find balance-you don't have to do it alone.

She brings a thoughtful, grounded approach to her work that helps people feel understood—not pathologized. I’ve seen patients come back with a clearer sense of who they are, more self-compassion, and the tools to manage anxiety and mood symptoms in a sustainable way.”
