Therapy for First Responders

You’re trained to stay calm in chaos — but that doesn’t mean you’re not affected by it.

The long shifts, critical calls, and what you’ve seen (and had to push down) can build up over time. Maybe it’s harder to relax. Maybe you’re more on edge, more distant, or just feel off. You might not even recognize yourself some days — and that’s not your fault.

You don’t need to be in crisis to get support. Therapy offers a space where you don’t have to explain the job, be the tough one, or keep it all in.

You show up for everyone else. This space is here for you.

What We Treat

Burnout & Chronic Stress

Long shifts, high stakes, and the constant need to stay sharp can wear you down. We help you reconnect with yourself before the job consumes everything.

Trauma & Cumulative Exposure

Whether it’s one major incident or years of witnessing the worst parts of life, trauma doesn’t just go away. We help you process it in a way that feels safe and manageable.

Sleep Problems & Hypervigilance

Trouble sleeping, always being “on,” or feeling like you can’t relax — these are common signs your nervous system is stuck in overdrive.

Irritability, Anger, or Numbness

If your fuse feels shorter, your emotions feel flat, or you feel disconnected from your loved ones, we help you unpack what’s underneath without judgment.

Anxiety & Panic

You’re trained to stay calm under pressure — but that doesn’t mean anxiety can’t sneak in. We help you manage the mental and physical symptoms that often get ignored.

Depression & Hopelessness

Some days it may feel like you’re just going through the motions. If you’re feeling low, checked out, or like nothing helps anymore, therapy can be a place to start feeling again.

Grief & Loss

Loss is part of the job — but that doesn’t make it easier. Whether it’s a call that stuck with you, the loss of a colleague, or something personal, we help you process it in a healthy way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I have to talk about every detail of what I’ve seen?

Only if you want to. We go at your pace. Therapy isn’t about reliving everything — it’s about helping you carry it differently, so it doesn’t weigh you down as much.

Do you understand the first responder culture?

Yes. We understand the unique pressure of staying composed in chaos, working long shifts, and the “suck it up and move on” mentality. This is a space where you won’t have to explain the culture — we get it.

Is what I say confidential? Will this affect my job?

Your privacy is protected by law. What you share in therapy stays private unless there’s a risk of harm to yourself or someone else. We do not report to departments or employers, and many first responders find peace of mind in knowing they have a protected space.

Do you offer flexible scheduling?

Yes. We understand the demands of rotating shifts, overnights, and long hours. We offer flexible options including evening, early morning, and virtual appointments whenever possible.
