Therapy for Therapists & Other Care Professionals
You spend so much of your time and energy caring for others. Now it is time to care for yourself.
One of the main specialties of my practice is providing services for other therapists, professional care providers, and helpers. I provide a safe and supportive space for therapists to explore their own well-being, navigate professional challenges, and enhance personal growth. If you are a therapist seeking support and reflection in a non-judgmental environment, I am here to assist you on your journey towards healing and self-discovery.
Therapy can be particularly beneficial for therapists and other helpers as it offers a secure environment where you can delve into personal obstacles, heighten self-awareness, and safeguard against burnout.
Therapy offers you the space to delve into their own thought patterns, emotions, and actions. By engaging in therapy, therapists can confront lingering issues, cultivate effective coping mechanisms, and bolster their ability to manage emotional challenges.
Furthermore, participating in therapy enhances therapists' capacity for empathy and comprehension of the therapeutic journey, consequently enriching the support they provide to their clients.
How therapy can help therapists and care providers
Using a holistic, integrative approach for those who give so much to others: therapists, teachers, nurses, doctors, and more.
Using evidence-based treatment approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and exposure-based treatments, therapy for therapists and other helpers can focus on (a few examples):
Process Challenges
Therapy will offer you a safe space to process through challenges arising with your work and also in other parts of your life, offering you validation, perspective, and space to focus on what’s coming up for you.
Implement and Maintain Boundaries
If boundaries are needed at work, with friends, and/or with family, we will discuss what that could look like, how you can communicate this clearly, and also work through any emotions that may arise.
Practice Self-Compassion
It’s important to offer yourself the same kindness and compassion you offer to others. Practicing specific methods for this can help make it easier to quiet things like imposter syndrome and the inner critic.
