Therapy for high-functioning women with anxiety—who are starting to feel the cost of it.

You don’t fall apart—but your mind doesn’t shut off. The pressure is constant, the mental load is heavy, and you’re harder on yourself than anyone else.

In-person therapy in Westlake Village, CA for anxiety, overwhelm, and high-functioning women. Telehealth available throughout California and New York.

You’re capable. Responsible.

The one people rely on.

And you’re tired.


This is therapy for women who are outwardly competent and capable—but internally feel a constant level of pressure, self-monitoring, and exhaustion from holding everything together.

On the outside, you’re doing what needs to get done.

Internally, it often feels like:

  • your mind doesn’t shut off—even when nothing is actually wrong
  • you can’t fully relax, even when you have the time
  • you’re constantly tracking, anticipating, and managing everything
  • you feel irritable, depleted, or emotionally flat
  • you’re holding everything together for everyone else
  • you know you “should” feel fine—but you don’t

Most of the women I work with aren’t in crisis—they’re just done living at this level of pressure.

If you’re tired of holding it together through sheer willpower, this is where that starts to change.

With over 15 years of clinical experience, including specialization in eating disorders and body image, I’m deeply attuned to the internal pressure, control, and self-criticism that often exist beneath the surface.


Therapy that helps you step out of constant pressure—and into a different way of functioning.

Most of my clients are used to figuring things out on their own—pushing through, staying composed, and managing what needs to get done.
Therapy becomes a place where you don’t have to hold that level of control.


Together, we work toward a different way of experiencing your life:

More calm and emotional steadiness

Less reactivity. Fewer spirals. More stability in how you feel day to day.

Clearer thinking and stronger self-trust

Less overanalyzing. More certainty in your decisions and boundaries.

More honest relationships and less resentment

More directness. More ease. Less over-functioning and people-pleasing.


A grounded approach that helps you understand—and change—what’s driving the pattern.

You don’t need more tips. You need a way to understand what’s driving the pattern—and shift it at the root.

My work is integrative in the sense that we pay attention to:

  • your emotional world and relationship patterns
  • the pressure you’re carrying (both visible and invisible)
  • the ways you’ve learned to cope—even the ones that come at a cost
  • how stress is showing up in your body, mood, and day-to-day life

Therapy with me is warm, structured, and practical — with space for depth when it matters.

And when it’s helpful, I take a collaborative approach — maintaining relationships with trusted providers (dietitians, physicians, and other specialists) so your care can feel supported and cohesive.

Hi, I’m Carla Korn

I work with women who are capable, thoughtful, and used to holding everything together.

With over 15 years of clinical experience, my work is informed by a deep understanding of patterns like control, internal pressure, and self-criticism—often present in high-functioning women, even when everything looks fine on the surface.

Many of my clients look successful on paper. Internally, they’re anxious, depleted, or managing a constant level of pressure. They’re not falling apart—they’re just carrying a lot.

Therapy with me isn’t surface-level. It’s a place to think clearly, understand what’s driving the pattern, and feel more steady in your own life.
