Executive Advisory

When we think of executives we think of high powered people on T.V and in the movies. In reality, executives are extremely high achievers who are burdened by daily unrealistic demands. Executives tell me they have difficulty finding a therapist or even a coach who will not be intimidated by them, who will tell it to them straight and not waste their time. They tell me that what they need are options, resources, and a strategy. And they need a therapist who is direct and whose honesty they can count on.

Most of the executives I see aren’t really sure what they need. At SVEA I offer executive advisory to help executives identify their next steps- whether that is individual counseling, executive coaching, referral to another specialist or psychiatrist, resources for family members, or consultation on difficult employee and culture problems.

Here are some common issues for which an executive might seek consultation:
  • Sudden, unexplained depression or anxiety
  • Problems managing extreme emotions such as anger
  • Marital difficulties
  • Family difficulties brought on by an emotionally troubled spouse or child
  • Difficulty sleeping
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Difficulty managing a challenging subordinate resource
  • Career concerns and needing help deciding on next steps
Sometimes Executives just need help figuring out what they need. In the race to build market share and do amazing things for their organizations, these talented, highly competent individuals just need space to think and identify what is going on and what the best course of action should be. When I was a consultant to technology companies back in the 1990s, speaking to a therapist who understood the unique complexities of an executive life would have been invaluable.
