You don’t need to push harder.

You need support that matches reality.

Business-aware mental health therapy for women entrepreneurs carrying too much—emotionally, mentally, and neurologically.

This isn’t failure. It’s overload.

You’re capable. Experienced. Insightful.

You’ve done the therapy. The mindset work. The planning.

And still…

  • You’re exhausted in a way rest doesn’t touch.
  • You know what needs to happen—but can’t execute.
  • Your nervous system feels fried.
  • You’re starting to wonder if you can trust yourself anymore.

This isn’t failure.

It’s because you’re carrying more than one person was ever meant to hold alone.

Who Supports You?

You may have support for:

  • Your finances
  • Your marketing
  • Your operations

But who is supporting:

  • Your nervous system
  • Your emotional capacity
  • Your decision-making under stress
  • The part of you holding everything together

Chief Mental Health Officer

I work with women entrepreneurs as their Chief Mental Health Officer

This is mental health therapy for business owners who are carrying responsibility, pressure, and uncertainty that never really switch off.

Not to fix you.

Not to motivate you.

But to help you restore capacity, clarity, and steadiness—so you can lead without sacrificing your wellbeing.

Hi, I’m Shulamit Ber Levtov (she/her)

You can call me Shula.

I’m a Registered Social Worker in the province of Ontario, with a Master’s degree in Counselling and decades of experience in trauma-informed care, somatic work, and entrepreneurial mental health.

My registration allows me to provide therapy to Ontario-based clients. I also work with business owners outside Ontario in a counselling and advisory capacity focused on the emotional, relational, and decision-making demands of entrepreneurship.

I’ve been working in mental health and personal growth since 2000, and running my own businesses since 1989. I bring together clinical training, business experience, and a strong systemic lens—because none of this exists in a vacuum.

As your Chief Mental Health Officer, I offer entrepreneur mental health support that includes:

  • Thought partnership
  • Emotionally attuned support
  • Space to reflect and stabilize
  • Discernment without pressure
  • Accountability only if and when it’s helpful

My role is not to tell you what to do but to help you regain the capacity to decide and act in ways that are sustainable for you.

This work is for you if…

You’re a woman business owner and:

  • You’re past burnout, not approaching it and are seeking burnout therapy for entrepreneurs
  • You feel frozen, scattered, or shut down, even though you “know better”
  • You can’t tell whether you should pivot, persevere, rest, or quit
  • You’re carrying money anxiety or need financial trauma therapy alongside business support 
  • You’ve tried therapy or coaching before, and it helped, but 
didn’t stick
  • You’re one of many neurodivergent entrepreneurs navigating systems that don’t fit how your brain works
  • You’re the primary provider, caregiver, or emotional anchor 
for others
  • Your business looks fine from the outside, but inside you’re barely holding it together

If any part of you is thinking:

“I don’t know what’s wrong, but I can’t keep going like this.”

You’re in the right place.

How We’ll Work Together

I offer business-aware mental health therapy that recognizes entrepreneur mental health challenges as inherent to running a business, not a personal failing.

This work is trauma-informed, nervous-system-aware, and neurodivergence-affirming, designed specifically for the realities of entrepreneurial life.

Think of it as having a Chief Mental Health Officer on your executive team—someone focused entirely on you, the human behind the business.

Our Work Together May Include:

  • Stabilizing emotional overwhelm and nervous system dysregulation
  • Untangling fear-based responses from real business signals
  • Working through money trauma, avoidance, or shame
  • Supporting decision-making during transitions or crises
  • Addressing burnout cycles, not just symptoms
  • Creating systems that match your actual capacity
  • Integrating insight into sustainable action

This mental health therapy for women entrepreneurs is relational, attuned, and responsive to real life, not a rigid program you have to keep up with.

What changes when you’re properly supported

When your capacity begins to return, clients receiving mental health support for business owners often notice:

  • Decisions feel clearer and less loaded
  • Emotional reactions soften instead of hijacking the day
  • Focus improves without forcing productivity
  • Boundaries become possible without guilt
  • Money feels less triggering and more workable
  • Confidence becomes steadier and not dependent on external wins
  • You can feel again, without collapsing

Not because your life got simpler.

But because you’re no longer carrying it alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. I run a boutique practice and accept 1–2 new therapy clients per month, which allows me to offer steady, attentive, and well-contained support.

I work with women who own small businesses (founders, freelancers, consultants, creatives, and service providers) who are seeking mental health therapy for women entrepreneurs and business owners carrying significant emotional, financial, and leadership responsibility.

Many of my clients are capable, thoughtful, and deeply committed to their work, but are exhausted from carrying too much alone.

This is therapy. I’m a Masters-level trauma therapist, and our work is grounded in mental health care, not performance optimization.

While practical business challenges may be part of what we talk about, the focus is on your nervous system, emotional capacity, and relationship with work, money, and leadership, not on goals or productivity.

I work with clients online and in person.

If you are based in Ontario, our work may be considered therapy and may be eligible for insurance reimbursement, depending on your coverage.

If you are outside Ontario, I offer counselling and business-focused emotional support. While this work is not eligible for health insurance reimbursement, it is often considered a business expense.

We’ll go over what applies to you during our call.

Yes, slightly.

If you are based in Ontario, I can provide therapy as a Registered Social Worker. If you are based elsewhere, our work is counselling-based and focused on the emotional and psychological demands of entrepreneurship.

The support is still deep, attuned, and personalized. The main difference is how it is classified for insurance and tax purposes.

Business coaching typically focuses on outcomes, strategy, and performance.

Therapy with me focuses on you, your emotional wellbeing, nervous system regulation, decision-making under stress, and the inner load of leadership, so you can lead sustainably, not just produce results.

Yes. Many clients come to me when they’re already past burnout.

Our work focuses on stabilizing overwhelm, supporting nervous system regulation, and addressing the patterns that keep pulling you back into cycles of overwork, crisis, or shutdown, so change can actually stick.

Yes. I work with many ADHD and otherwise neurodivergent entrepreneurs.

My approach is neurodivergence-affirming, capacity-based, and focused on creating support systems that work with how your brain functions, not against it.

That’s not uncommon. Many of my clients have done therapy before.

This work is different because it’s business-aware, trauma-informed, and grounded in real entrepreneurial realities. Fit matters, and we’ll explore together whether this approach feels right for you.

There’s no fixed timeline.

We’ll check in regularly about what feels supportive and sustainable. Some clients work with me short-term during a specific crisis or transition, while others choose ongoing, fractional “Chief Mental Health Officer” support.

The free call is a low-pressure conversation to explore fit.

We’ll talk about what’s been weighing on you, what kind of support you’re looking for, and whether working together makes sense. There’s no obligation to continue.

Still Have Questions?

If you’re unsure whether this kind of support is right for you, that’s okay.

The intro call is simply a chance to talk things through, ask your questions, and see if working together feels like a good fit.

There’s no pressure to decide on the call, and no obligation to continue.
