Successful on paper. Exhausted underneath.

Anxiety Therapy in New York City — for High-Achieving Adults

Book a complimentary consultation: kim-sharrott.clientsecure.me — a free 15-minute conversation to see whether this is a good fit, before you commit to anything.

Dr. Kim Sharrott, Psy.D., M.Ed., is a New York State licensed psychologist providing confidential, self-pay psychotherapy in Manhattan and online throughout New York. She works with thoughtful, high-achieving adults whose lives look successful from the outside and feel exhausting on the inside — people dealing with anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, overthinking, and emotional exhaustion.

This work is often a fit if you are the person everyone else relies on — at work, at home, or both — and:

  • Anxiety, worry, or overthinking rarely switches off, even when things are going well

  • Perfectionism keeps raising the bar, so rest feels undeserved and work never feels finished

  • You feel emotionally exhausted, flat, or stretched thin, despite a full and capable life

  • You want help that is practical and reflective — not just coping tips, and not just talking in circles

You do not need to be in crisis to start. If something in your life could feel different, that is enough to begin.

Therapy for burnout — practical and reflective, not just coping tips

Dr. Sharrott’s approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, psychodynamic psychotherapy, and a holistic mind–body perspective. In practice, that means paying attention both to the patterns running your life now — the thoughts, habits, and pressures you can change — and to where those patterns came from, so the change lasts. Sessions are individualized, confidential, and paced to you.

Because this is a private-pay practice, treatment is guided by what you need, not by an insurance company’s rules, and diagnoses and treatment information are not routinely shared with insurers.
