I'm Dr. Thuy Boardman, a licensed psychologist with 21 years of experience providing evidence-based therapy for individuals facing stress, navigating moral ambiguity, or questioning whether something in your work/personal life needs to shift. I help high-performing individuals make sense of burnout, moral distress, and quiet exhaustion before it turns into something unmanageable. When you’ve been carrying this much for this long, the signs show up quietly: irritability, exhaustion, second-guessing decisions that used to feel clear. You might wonder if it’s just part of the job, or if you’re the only like this. You're not alone.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Therapy with me is focused, collaborative, and designed for people who value both reflection and action. You don’t need to have the right language. You don’t have to be in crisis. You don’t need to explain your resume or justify how hard things have been. You just have to show up. Our work might include: - Make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface - emotionally, professionally, and ethically - Identifying where stress, misalignment, or exhaustion have taken hold - Clarify what’s sustainable and what’s not - Exploring the emotional and moral impact of your environment - Strategizing around what’s next, including how to make changes without burning it all down - Define what recovery, recalibration, or change looks like for you I’ll bring structure, tools, and a grounded understanding of high-pressure systems and professional realities. You bring your experience and a willingness to pause and take inventory. Our work begins by clearly identifying your goals—whether you're seeking relief from burnout, clarity during a life transition, or a stronger sense of direction. From there, I integrate evidence-based behavioral therapies and coaching-informed strategies to create a personalized path forward.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My approach is evidence-based, deeply collaborative, and focused on sustainable, meaningful change. I meet clients with curiosity and respect, tailoring treatment to their unique values, identities, and lived experiences. I integrate scientifically supported methods—such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Interpersonal Therapy, and trauma-informed care—to address the root causes of distress, not just the symptoms. My work supports clients in reclaiming clarity, purpose, and emotional steadiness, even in the face of chronic stress, trauma, or systems that demand too much. I specialize in treating stress-related conditions, burnout, anxiety, and moral distress in high-responsibility roles—especially for those in healthcare, leadership, and caregiving professions. I bring both clinical expertise and an understanding of organizational and systemic pressures, helping clients move through overwhelm and into alignment with their own integrity and direction. Clients often describe me as grounded, attuned, and steady—able to guide complex, nuanced conversations with compassion and clarity. Whether we’re exploring deep wounds, identity shifts, or daily stressors, I aim to create a safe space where insight leads to action and relief is paired with growth.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Stress, burnout, and moral tension don’t always look like breaking down. Often, they build slowly and show up as irritability, trouble focusing, or a sense of detachment from work that once mattered. You’re still performing, still meeting expectations, but something feels off. I work with people who carry significant responsibility, often without acknowledgment or pause. They lead teams, solve complex problems, make high-stakes decisions, manage complex systems, and push through uncertainty. For a while, that model works. Until it doesn’t. Over time, the pressure, compromises, and emotional toll begin to surface. What once felt manageable starts to feel heavier, until you can’t push past it the same way anymore. I provide therapy for professionals facing burnout, moral distress, and the emotional toll of complex work environments. Many of my clients are leaders, clinicians, mission-driven staff, and high-responsibility professionals who have spent years operating under pressure—often without a break to assess what it’s costing them. Whether you're navigating ethical strain, decision fatigue, quiet exhaustion, or a major life transition, this work is designed to help you regain clarity, reconnect with your values, and make sustainable decisions about what comes next.
