You Used to Handle Everything. Now It Feels Like Too Much.

You’re the one who always gets it done.

You take care of the family, manage the social plans, support your in-laws, and show up at work—even when you’re running on empty. But lately, it’s different.

The anxiety hits quicker. The overwhelm lingers longer.

You’re tired in a way that rest doesn’t fix.

And now you’re wondering, what’s happened to me?

This Isn’t Weakness. It’s Burnout.

Many high-functioning women find themselves here.

You’ve spent years saying yes, doing more, carrying emotional weight for everyone around you. But now your body and mind are saying no more.

YOU MIGHT BE EXPERIENCING:

Chronic anxiety or emotional overwhelm
Guilt when you try to say no
Trouble sleeping or shutting your mind off
A sense of disconnection—from yourself, from others
Panic, irritability, or deep exhaustion

And when you do less, you feel guilty.

But when you try to do more, you just can’t.

Virtual Therapy That Helps You Reconnect with Yourself

I’m Dr. Sadia Saleem, C. Psych, a registered clinical and counselling psychologist providing online therapy for women in Richmond Hill, Markham, and across Ontario.

With over 20 years of experience, I support women who are tired of feeling responsible for everyone else—and ready to reconnect with themselves.

Together, we’ll work to:

Understand why you’re feeling this way
Break long-held patterns of over-functioning and people-pleasing
Set healthy boundaries while fading out the guilt
Rebuild a calm, compassionate relationship with yourself
Learn to say yes with intention—and no without shame

Therapy That Respects Your Culture and Your Voice

As someone fluent in English, Urdu, and Hindi, I understand the cultural dynamics many women face when it comes to guilt, family expectations, and self-worth.

I offer culturally sensitive therapy that honours your background and supports your personal growth—whether you’re in Richmond Hill, Markham, or anywhere else in Ontario.
