Therapy for Helping Professionals

The stress at work is through the roof.

You just pulled another double shift, and you’re feeling overwhelmed and exhausted.

More clients keep getting added to your caseload, and you’re constantly being asked to cover for someone or pick up extra slack.

And every time it feels like you may finally be getting your head above water, more responsibilities are dropped onto your plate.

It’s like you’re always on the edge of burnout.

You love your job and find it fulfilling. But its stressful and chaotic nature makes it challenging to find balance.

When you try to talk to other people about your struggles, they never seem to offer any meaningful advice beyond “keep your head up” and “tough it out.”

No one seems to have the time or energy to help, and the truth is, you’re not sure you do either.

So, you do your best to ignore what you’re facing.

“I’m a therapist,” you tell yourself. “I should be able to handle this on my own.”

“If I tell people how I’m feeling,” you decide, “then they’ll know I’m no good at my job.”

“Nobody will understand anyway,” you conclude. “How could they when I don’t even understand it myself?”

There is another way.

Therapy can help you learn to establish healthier boundaries and improve your self-care.

It allows you to explore your behavior patterns and shift your perceptions to align with your goals.

As you become more confident, assertive, and better at conflict resolution, your life will improve inside and outside your practice.
