What exactly is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)?
A Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) is a mental health professional trained in psychotherapy and family systems. We are licensed to diagnose and treat mental and emotional disorders within the context of marriage, couples, and family systems, as well as individual struggles. Our unique training emphasizes understanding how relationships and systemic dynamics influence individual well-being and vice versa.

I'm an individual seeking therapy, not part of a couple or family. Is CEO ME LLC still suitable for me?
Absolutely. While our training is rooted in systemic thinking, LMFTs are highly skilled in individual therapy. We often find that understanding your family history, relationship patterns, and broader life systems can profoundly enhance individual growth and problem-solving, even if the sessions focus solely on your personal journey. Our executive and founder counseling is a prime example of individual support.

How is your approach different given your focus on affluent individuals and leaders?
Our approach is tailored to the unique pressures, expectations, and dynamics often experienced by high-net-worth individuals, executives, and public figures. We offer a discreet, sophisticated, and results-oriented partnership. Our therapy sessions move beyond symptom management to focus on areas like leadership resilience, navigating wealth dynamics, legacy planning, managing public profile pressures, and finding personal fulfillment amidst success. We prioritize efficiency, direct communication, and a deep understanding of your world.

What specific challenges do you address for executives and high-net-worth families?
We address a range of challenges, including:
Executive Burnout & Stress: Managing the intense demands of high-stakes roles.
Imposter Syndrome: Overcoming feelings of inadequacy despite significant achievements.

Family Wealth Dynamics: Navigating intergenerational wealth transfer, communication around money, and family business conflicts.
