Therapy for Burnout Recovery in Chicago, IL
Julia Tehovnik| Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor | Registered Yoga Teacher | 8+ years experience
Creating balance & regulation for exhausted perfectionists who are tired of acting like they have it all together.
I'm Julia Tehovnik, I specialize in therapy for anxiety and burnout recovery. I feel called to work with people who live busy lives but can’t seem to make time to take care of themselves - the ones who do the most, but silently struggle with chronic stress, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and burnout.
From Competitive Performer to Holistic Therapist
As a former NCAA collegiate athlete and competitive performer, I understand how ambition and drive can transform into a go-go-go lifestyle without reprieve.
I know what it's like to build your identity around achievement, to feel the constant weight of expectations, and to struggle when your self-worth becomes tied to performance.
You don’t need to earn rest.
Understanding High-Pressure Environments - Personal Experience Turned Into Professional Expertise
My Master's degree in Sport and Health Psychology wasn't just an academic interest — it was personal.
I work with ambitious professionals in high-pressure environments who are exhausted by the same performance-based standards and hustle culture that once defined me.

I’m a seasoned therapist with over 8 years of private practice experience. I use evidence-based approaches including CBT, ACT, IFS, and yoga-informed psychotherapy to help you regulate your nervous system, build genuine self-esteem, and create a values-aligned life beyond your accomplishments.

Quieting imposter syndrome and lessening perfectionism
Healing burnout and chronic stress management
Addressing anxiety hidden by accomplishments
Somatic interventions and body-centered healing
Implementing values-aligned living instead of achievement-based identity
