You did everything right.
Yet your nervous system still isn't okay.

You might be here if...

Something shifted — and your body registered it before your mind was ready to.

Maybe you were restructured out of a role you spent decades building. Maybe you're watching AI quietly absorb the work you trained for years to do. Maybe you got the degree, sent the applications, and you're still being told you're not quite the right fit. Or maybe nothing dramatic has happened yet — but you wake up at 2am running the numbers, rehearsing conversations, bracing for something you can't control.

Whatever brought you here, the anxiety is real. And it isn't a personal failure.

• You're waking up at 2am running financial scenarios you can't stop

• You've been laid off, restructured, or pushed out — and the grief is bigger than you expected

• You're watching AI absorb your industry and don't know what that means for you

• You graduated, did everything right, and still can't get a foothold

• Your identity was tied to your work — and now you're not sure who you are

• You appear composed at work but feel a quiet panic underneath

• You're white-knuckling forward and refusing to feel it — because stopping feels dangerous

This kind of anxiety isn't about weakness or catastrophizing. It's your nervous system responding to real, structural uncertainty — and it deserves real support, not productivity hacks.

Insurance accepted. In-person therapy in Fort Lauderdale and via telehealth throughout Florida.

The grief nobody names

Losing a job, a career trajectory, or a version of your future is a loss. A real one. The shame, the rage, the hollowness — those aren't overreactions. They're grief. And unprocessed grief doesn't go away on its own. It rewrites the story you tell about yourself. Therapy gives you a place to process it before that happens.

Why work with Roman Lockshin, LMHC, MA, MBA, CFA

I understand this world because I lived in it.

Before becoming a therapist, I was first a concert violinist, then spent years on Wall Street as a proprietary trader, followed by starting my own business — I know what it means to build your identity around performance, output, and forward momentum. I know the particular dread of watching an industry shift under your feet. And I know what it takes to rebuild or start over when the ground moves.

I also navigated my own experience with job loss, burnout, gaming addiction, and the kind of emptiness that can come from achieving everything you set out to achieve — and still not feeling okay. Those experiences are why I work the way I do: without judgment, without generic advice, and with a real understanding of what high-stakes professional anxiety feels like from the inside.

I use EMDR, CBT, and logotherapy — evidence based therapeutic approaches that address not just symptoms, but the underlying beliefs and unprocessed experiences driving them.
