Therapy for Entrepreneurs & Business Owners | Jason Wasser, LMFT
Therapy for Entrepreneurs, CEOs & Business Owners
Looking for business coaching or consulting? Jason also offers executive coaching and consulting services separately. This page is specifically for clinical therapy — licensed mental health treatment for entrepreneurs dealing with anxiety, burnout, relationship strain, or the psychological toll of running a business.
Entrepreneur Burnout & Business Owner Mental Health — This Is What You're Carrying
Business owner mental health rarely gets treated as seriously as business performance. But the two are inseparable. Entrepreneur burnout, leadership stress, and the isolation of running a company are real clinical issues — not just "work stress" a vacation will fix.
Entrepreneur burnout that won't quit — even when business is good, you feel empty, depleted, or wired-and-tired.
You're the one everyone else leans on. There's nobody to lean on back — not without consequences.
Performance anxiety before big decisions, meetings, or deals. The stakes feel too high to think clearly.
Your identity and your business are completely tangled. You don't know who you are without it.
The work-life balance problem that coaching hasn't solved. Your relationship is absorbing the overflow.
Leadership stress that shows up as irritability, insomnia, or a short fuse with the people who matter most.
Therapy vs. Coaching: What's the Difference?
Both have a place. But they're not the same — and for many entrepreneurs, what's actually needed is clinical therapy, not another framework or accountability structure.

Therapy for Executives & Entrepreneurs Built Around How You Actually Operate
Complete Confidentiality
Private pay means no insurance billing, no EAP involvement, no records that follow you. Business owner mental health stays private.
Telehealth for Entrepreneurs
Session from your office, your car, between meetings. No commute, no waiting room. Telehealth therapy available across Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, New Jersey, Massachusetts & Missouri.
Systemic & Post-Modern Therapy
Jason is systemically trained and grounded in post-modern models — Narrative Therapy and Solution-Focused approaches. These look at the whole context: your relationships, roles, and patterns, not just what's happening inside you. You're treated as the expert on your own experience, not a diagnosis to be managed.
Therapist Who Gets Your World
Jason has worked with founders, CEOs, and high-achievers for 15+ years. He understands what general therapists often don't: the real cost of ambition.
No Waitlist
Typically available within days. Because entrepreneur burnout treatment shouldn't have a 6-week queue.

Your Therapist
Jason Wasser, LMFT — Therapist for Executives, Entrepreneurs & Their Companies
Jason has worked with entrepreneurs, executives, and high-achieving professionals since 2005. As a therapist (not a coach), he focuses on the clinical dimension of business stress — the anxiety, the burnout, the relationship strain, the identity issues that come with building something.
His approach isn't about slowing you down or giving you a framework to implement. It's licensed therapy that addresses what's actually happening underneath the performance — so you can operate at the level you're capable of without burning through your health or your relationships to do it.
His training is in systemic and post-modern models — Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy — approaches that examine how identity, relationships, and context shape performance, rather than focusing solely on symptoms or behaviors.
Jason holds a Certificate in Sports Performance Psychology from California State University. The mental performance work developed for elite athletes — managing pressure, identity shifts, focus, and recovery — maps directly onto the founder and executive experience.
He is also a Certified Business Coach through Business Finishing School, co-founded by Rick Sapio. This certification adds structured business frameworks — goal-setting, delegation, accountability, and leadership development — as a complement to the clinical work.
How Therapy for Entrepreneurs Works
Reach Out
Fill out the contact form or call. Response within one business day — no lengthy intake process.
Brief Consultation
A short call to make sure it's a fit — what you're dealing with, what you need from therapy.
First Session
Clinical assessment. Real conversation. Work may include structured exercises, assessments, or between-session reflection — tailored to what you actually need.
Ongoing Therapy
Weekly or bi-weekly sessions — telehealth or in-person — built around your schedule, not a clinic's.
How This Differs From IO Psychology, Organizational Psychologists & Corporate Psychologists
Jason can be engaged by a company to work with both the team (as a consultant) and individuals (as a therapist) — with clear role differentiation managed on a case-by-case basis to prevent dual relationships and conflicts of interest. That flexibility, combined with clinical licensure and full confidentiality for individual clients, is something a company-employed org psychologist cannot structurally offer.
The distinction isn't always about who does the work — it's about whether the roles are clearly separated, ethically managed, and whether the individual client's confidentiality is structurally protected.
Common Questions About Therapy for Business Owners
Is this therapy or coaching?
This is licensed clinical therapy — mental health treatment provided by Jason Wasser, LMFT. It's not business coaching or consulting. Jason offers coaching separately. If you're unsure which is right for you, contact us and we'll help you figure it out.
Do you take insurance?
No — and that's intentional. Private pay therapy for entrepreneurs means no insurance company can access your records, no diagnosis follows you, no EAP involvement. Contact us to discuss fees.
Can I use my HSA or FSA?
Yes. Licensed therapy is an eligible expense for most HSA and FSA accounts. A superbill is available upon request for potential out-of-network reimbursement from your insurance carrier.
What does entrepreneur burnout treatment actually look like?
It depends on what's driving it. Jason uses NET (Neuro Emotional Technique) alongside systemic and post-modern approaches — Narrative Therapy and Solution-Focused methods. Systemic therapy looks at the whole picture: your relationships, roles, and patterns rather than isolating a problem inside you. Post-modern models treat you as the expert on your own life, not a disorder to be fixed. The work is collaborative, not prescriptive. Most clients start seeing movement within 4–6 sessions.
I travel constantly and split time between states. Does telehealth work for me?
Yes — as long as you're physically located in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, New Jersey, Massachusetts, or Missouri when the session takes place. Telehealth therapy for entrepreneurs is available across all seven states. However, if your needs are not determined to be clinical in nature, you may be a better fit for Jason's coaching services. Speak with Jason directly to determine the right fit.
How quickly can I get an appointment?
Typically within the week, sometimes sooner. No months-long waitlist. Business owner mental health shouldn't require waiting six weeks to get help.
Is everything I share completely private?
Yes, with standard legal exceptions (imminent harm, child abuse reporting). Private pay means no insurance involvement, no EAP, no third-party access to your records. Full stop.
Free Self-Assessment
The Business Success Index (BSI)
Ten questions. Grade yourself honestly from 1 to 10. The BSI is a free self-assessment designed to help entrepreneurs and executives see clearly where they actually stand — not where they think they stand — across the key dimensions of business success: delegation, leadership, planning, accountability, and more.
Most high-achievers find at least one or two areas where the score is harder to look at than expected. That gap between how the business looks from the outside and how it feels from the inside is often exactly where the therapeutic and coaching work begins.
What it covers
- Delegation
- Leadership effectiveness
- Planning & goal setting
- Accountability systems
- Core values alignment
