Therapy for Managers
Managing people can mean holding demands from several directions at once. You may be expected to support others while navigating your own uncertainty about decisions, feedback, and limits.

You do not need the perfect explanation. We can begin with what has been difficult and what you would like to understand.
What you may be noticing
- Anxiety before difficult conversations
- Feeling caught between competing expectations
- Taking responsibility for every team problem
Your experience may look different. These examples are starting points for a conversation.
How we can work on this
We can explore how you experience authority, conflict, and accountability. Sessions can support clearer awareness of your needs and more considered responses to pressure.
I am Sam Rustum, LCPC. My work is collaborative: we will discuss your priorities, choose a starting point, and check whether our approach is useful to you.
A question you may have
Is this management training?
No. Work situations can be part of therapy, but the focus is your emotional well-being rather than a professional training curriculum.
Talk about your next step.
