Therapy for Anxiety and Burnout Near Cedar Mill, Oregon
Cedar Mill is home to adults balancing demanding careers, family responsibilities, and high personal expectations. From the outside, life may look stable or successful, yet internally, the pressure can feel constant.
Clients who reach out are often the dependable ones — the person others rely on at work and in relationships. Carrying that level of responsibility for years can lead to anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, and difficulty slowing down or setting boundaries.
I’m Ruth Hescock, LPC, LMHC, and I provide therapy for adults navigating anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, and people-pleasing patterns. Many of my clients live in Cedar Mill and work in nearby professional hubs such as Nike, Intel, Columbia Sportswear, and other companies throughout Beaverton and Hillsboro.
My therapy office is located nearby in Beaverton, making in-person therapy convenient for clients in Cedar Mill and surrounding communities. I also offer secure online therapy for adults throughout Oregon.
Common Reasons People Seek Therapy
Many people who reach out for therapy are used to managing a lot of responsibility in their lives. Over time, that pressure can begin to show up as:
persistent anxiety or overthinking
perfectionism and pressure to perform
difficulty setting boundaries
burnout from demanding careers
people-pleasing or prioritizing others’ needs
feeling successful on the outside but overwhelmed internally
Therapy can help you understand the patterns driving these experiences and begin shifting them in ways that feel more balanced and sustainable.
My Approach
My work integrates EMDR therapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), two evidence-based approaches that help address both present-day stress and the deeper experiences shaping how we respond to pressure.
EMDR therapy helps the brain process experiences that continue to drive anxiety, self-criticism, or emotional overwhelm.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) focuses on understanding the different parts of ourselves that developed to manage expectations, responsibility, and stress.
Together, these approaches help create meaningful and lasting change.
