An Overview of Executive Therapy
Most executive business professionals experience stress and conflict throughout their lives, which can be remedied through executive therapy. While rather new, executive therapy is proving to be quite beneficial for many professionals who are in leadership roles. Everyone suffers from conflict; however, when people in power do, it can often result in personal and professional problems, which is why executive therapy is worth considering.
What is Executive Therapy?
Executive therapy's main goal, like other types of therapy, is to help you heal. However, it is different in that there is more focus on your professional life. Executive business professionals that need this therapy often have issues that bleed from their personal life into their work life or vice versa. This can result in bigger and more serious problems.
We meet with the executive on a regular basis to outline the problems or conflicts. Then through the course of therapy, goals will be identified and hopefully archieved. Most importantly, we will help the executive come up with ways to heal from the underlying issues.
What are the Benefits to me?
1) Learn how to better deal with stress
The business world can be very stressful, making it necessary for you to learn how to deal with any stress that comes your way while performing your everyday responsibilities. While most people associate stress with negativity, there are ways to use stress positively. When you learn how to use stress to benefit you instead of hinder you, you are more likely to grow and develop into a better leader. To make this change, you need to identify the underlying causes of your stress.
2) Learn how to balance your work and personal life
It can be tough for some executives to find the right balance between their professional and personal lives. While executives must place a lot of focus on their professional lives because they have career goals they want to meet, it is also important for them to find enough time in their schedule to spend quality time with their friends and family. In order to achieve this difficult balance, executives need to learn how to prioritize their time. This requires them to be very organized, which is a skill that can be learned.
3) Learn about conflict resolution
Learning how to professionally resolve any conflicts in business situations is essential to your overall success. While it would be ideal if everyone were to agree on any business-related decisions, that is not the case. This makes it essential for you to learn how to resolve any conflicts that arise in your professional dealings with others. There are many different types of conflict resolution techniques you can use, so executive counseling can be helpful in finding the right fit for you.

Before becoming a mental health counselor, I was a director of a global department for a large international corporation for many years.
