Therapy for Neurodivergent Women

You’ve done all the things—the podcasts, the books, the coaching, even therapy. And yet, something still feels off.

From the outside, your life looks like a success story. But inside? You’re mentally exhausted, emotionally tapped, and wondering if lasting change is even possible.

Stress Better. Live Better. Feel Better.

Maybe you...

Overthink every conversation and decision.

Feel resentful from giving too much and getting little in return.

Doubt your instincts, second-guess your needs, and feel disconnected from who you used to be.

Have zero patience left—for yourself or anyone else.

Carry the weight of perfectionism while silently asking, “Is something wrong with me?”

This isn’t failure.

It's Burnout.

Especially the kind no one sees—rooted in trauma, executive dysfunction, and emotional overwhelm. It’s time for a change.

Real Healing Requires More Than Just Talking

“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it…”

But guess what? Most therapy and coaching is broken and ineffective for the neurospicy individual! Why? They’re not addressing the root cause: trauma. If you’re just trying to solve the symptoms, you’re just putting a band-aid on a wound that needs stitching. Let’s work together to fix it.

The Burnout Professor Does Therapy Differently

I’m Erica Cuni, The Burnout Professor

Hi, I’m Erica Cuni, LMFT, CIMPH. A licensed therapist, trauma-informed coach, and neurodivergent woman who’s been there, survived burnout (and a Mack truck), and turned recovery into a roadmap for others. As a trauma-trained therapist with nearly 20 years of experience, I integrate research-backed, nervous-system-based approaches that help you feel the shift, not just talk about it.

My Approach

Trauma-informed Therapy:

Not just managing symptoms, getting to the root of them.

Compassionate and Direct:

We talk about the hard stuff, with humor when it helps and honesty when it counts.

Neurodivergent-Affirming:

Therapy that honors your intensity, your sensitivity, your brilliance, and your burnout.

If you’ve felt like nothing has worked, you’re not broken. You’re likely burnt out from living in a world that doesn’t understand your brain.

How I Can Help:

  • Weekly or biweekly therapy to dig deep and heal at the root.
  • Virtual sessions across NC and CT or in-person in Raleigh.
  • Specialized support for ADHD, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, perfectionism, and more.
  • Nervous-system-based tools that actually help when your brain is in overdrive.

The Burnout Professor’s Specialties

Things can change for the better and stay that way.

You don’t need another checkbox to fix yourself. You need a therapist who sees all of you and can hold space for your fire and your fatigue.

I’m not here to “fix” you. I’m here to help you reclaim what burnout tried to bury: your confidence, your clarity, your voice.

Let’s stop surviving and start feeling better.
