Meet Danny Venorsky, LSW.

Danny works with adults and families who look fine on the outside and feel exhausted on the inside. Racing thoughts. Mood shifts. The short-term fixes that stop working.

His approach blends CBT, and Motivational Interviewing, built on his time working in inpatient psychiatric care, crisis stabilization, and addiction recovery centers. He specializes in addiction and substance use recovery, anxiety and mood management, depression, and family dynamics during major life transitions like new parenthood.

Danny's take: therapy is where you take off the mask and build something that actually lasts.

He's accepting new clients now at our Independence office, in person or via telehealth for Ohio residents.

Most leaders think they know what burnout feels like. Tired all the time. Dreading Monday. Running on fumes by Wednesday.

So when a leader takes 2 weeks off, comes back, and still feels the same flatness they left with, the story doesn't add up. If burnout was the problem, rest should have fixed it.

For women who are constantly exhausted, feel like nothing is ever good enough, and aren't sure who is running their life while they're busy running their business, I see you.

It's hard being the strong one. And honestly? A little unfair.

You should be able to chase your dreams and have someone catch you once in a while. And here's the thing, that someone is probably already nearby. A friend, a partner, a colleague who would show up in a heartbeat. But when you're this depleted, you can't even see it.

That's a big part of what I do as a therapist. Help you find the bandwidth to notice the support that's already around you, and actually let it in.

This is what I was thinking about when I read this Psychology Today article. So I thought I would share.
