Therapist for Women | Perfectionism & Burnout Expert
Meet Brianna Paruolo, LCMHC
The journey to excellence shouldn't require compromise. As the founder of On Par Therapy, I've dedicated my practice to understanding the unique challenges high-achieving women face in demanding fields. My work, featured in Forbes and Business Insider, focuses on helping women navigate the complexities of leadership while maintaining authentic connection to themselves.
I combine clinical expertise with real understanding of professional dynamics because I believe you deserve support that matches your standards. Whether you're managing perfectionism, facing burnout, or rebuilding after relationship challenges, my approach acknowledges both your strength and your need for strategic support.
Licensed in New York, New Jersey, Miami, and Charleston, I offer flexible early morning and evening sessions that accommodate demanding professional schedules. Because I understand that meaningful change requires both expertise and accessibility.
OUR SERVICES
Expert Support for Women Leaders
Transformative therapy for high-achieving professionals who are ready for meaningful change. Our approach combines clinical excellence with real understanding of the demands you face, offering strategic support that aligns with your professional standards.
Understanding Your Experience
The external success is there – the awards, promotions, achievements. Yet something feels misaligned. You find yourself excelling at work while feeling disconnected from yourself, carrying the weight of being everyone's support system while questioning if you'll ever feel "good enough" despite your accomplishments. The perfectionism that drives your success never lets you rest, and navigating male-dominated spaces requires constant vigilance that's becoming increasingly exhausting.
Our Specialized Focus
We offer targeted support for the specific challenges faced by ambitious women with deep expertise in:
Professional Development & Leadership: Supporting you through executive burnout recovery, career transitions, and the unique dynamics of being a woman in leadership. We understand that success shouldn't require sacrifice.
Identity & Personal Growth: Addressing perfectionism, high-functioning anxiety, and the complexity of maintaining authentic confidence in demanding environments. Our work helps you develop sustainable excellence without compromising your wellbeing.
Relationship Dynamics: Specializing in healing from narcissistic abuse and relationship trauma while maintaining professional strength. We help you rebuild trust without losing your edge.
Strategic Approach
Our evidence-based methodology goes beyond traditional therapy, offering:
Practical strategies that integrate with your professional life
Deep understanding of high-achiever challenges
Tools for sustainable success
Expert guidance in narcissistic abuse recovery

Designed for Your Success
Understanding that professional demands don't pause for therapy, we offer flexible scheduling with early morning, evening, and weekend appointments. Our secure virtual platform provides the privacy and convenience that busy professionals need.
We put you first
High-achieving women often put everyone else's needs before their own. Not here.
I’ve designed my practice around your unique needs with evening appointments and flexible scheduling. Because I understand that C-suite meetings run late, deals need closing, and life doesn't pause for therapy.
LMHC | Clinical Director | Founder
Meet Brianna, New York's trusted voice in women's mental health
Through extensive work with women in leadership positions and male-dominated industries, I've developed a deep understanding of the particular challenges you face. The constant pressure to prove yourself. The exhaustion of navigating workplace politics. The perfectionism that drives your success but never lets you rest. These aren't just professional challenges – they're deeply personal ones that traditional therapy often fails to address.
My journey from the corporate world to becoming a recognized expert in mental health has taught me something crucial: success shouldn't require sacrificing your wellbeing. This understanding has shaped my entire approach to therapeutic support.
Recognition & Expertise
My work has earned recognition from leading publications including Vogue, Wondermind, Forbes, Today.com, and Business Insider because it addresses what others miss – the unique intersection of professional excellence and personal wellbeing. I bring specialized training that directly serves the needs of ambitious women:
Clinical Excellence:
Advanced Certification in Narcissistic Abuse Recovery (NATC)
Integrative Sex and Couples Therapy Certification
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
Cognitive Dialectical Behavior Therapy (CDBT)
Trauma-Informed Care
High-Achiever Mental Health Support
Our Collaborative Approach

Transform perfectionism into sustainable excellence
Build success that aligns with your values
Navigate workplace dynamics with confidence
Heal from relationship trauma while maintaining your strength
Create boundaries that protect your energy and goals
Whether you're facing burnout, rebuilding after a toxic relationship, or feeling disconnected from yourself beneath your achievements, my commitment is to help you thrive, not just survive. I offer virtual therapy that fits your demanding schedule, making expert mental health support accessible wherever you are across New York, New Jersey, Florida, and South Carolina.
