Helping Professionals

Providing care and service to others can take an emotional toll. As an educator or healthcare professional, you face immense stress and challenges that many don’t understand. But help is available.

In therapy, you can openly process occupational pressures and their impact without judgment - including:

• Managing high-needs students or patients

• Bureaucratic pressures and lack of resources

• Working overtime/taking work home

• Balancing professional and personal life

• Burnout

• Mental health and substance use concerns

As a result of the pressures of your career, you may have found your mental health suffering. Or perhaps you’ve turned to coping mechanisms like substance use or other behaviors that are no longer working for you. It’s more common than you think in high-stress fields. Therapy provides tools to help you build resilience, improve your mental health, and gain better control over behaviors that feel out of control.

Of course, a high level of discretion is needed in your career when addressing mental health or substance use concerns. I have years of experience working with and protecting the confidentiality of teachers, administrators, nurses, doctors, and fellow therapists. As I am out-of-network with all insurance companies, the decision to notify your insurance company that you are in therapy is entirely up to you.
