Therapy for Workaholic Dads

Finding Balance Between Work and Fatherhood.

Balancing the demands of a career and fatherhood is challenging, and many dads fall into the pattern of overworking to provide for their families. While dedication to work is admirable, it can take a toll on your mental health, relationships, and ability to be present with your family. At Verve Psychotherapy, we offer compassionate therapy for workaholic dads to help you regain balance, improve well-being, and strengthen family connections.

 
Understanding the Workaholic Mindset

​

In a culture that often equates success with long hours and professional achievement, many fathers feel pressured to prioritize work over everything else. This can be fueled by societal expectations, financial concerns, and a desire to be seen as a reliable provider. However, overworking often comes at the expense of mental health and emotional presence in family life.

​

Signs of workaholism in dads may include:

​​

  • Long Working Hours: Consistently prioritizing work over personal time.

  • Neglected Relationships: Strained connections with partners, children, and friends.

  • Physical and Mental Burnout: Experiencing chronic fatigue, anxiety, or depression.

  • Guilt or Shame: Feeling torn between work responsibilities and family commitments.

  • Avoidance of Emotional Intimacy: Using work as a way to escape personal challenges or stress.

​
