Therapy for Healthcare Workers

As a healthcare worker, you’re trained to keep going, to stay calm under pressure, and to care for others no matter how much you’re holding inside. You’ve seen things most people can’t imagine. You’ve smiled through exhaustion, made impossible decisions, and quietly carried the weight of other people’s pain — all while pushing your own needs aside.

But just because you’re the helper doesn’t mean you’re not hurting.

Maybe the stress is catching up to you. Maybe you’re feeling numb, burned out, anxious, or like you’re running on fumes.

You show up for everyone else — now it’s time for someone to show up for you.

No pressure to be “resilient” or “strong.” No need to explain medical terms or minimize what you’re feeling. Just room to breathe, talk, process, and feel supported — without judgment.

What We Treat

Burnout

Constant demands, long shifts, and emotional overload can leave you physically and emotionally drained. Burnout isn’t just about being tired — it’s the slow depletion of energy, motivation, and joy in your work and life.

Compassion Fatigue

When you're always caring for others, it can become harder to feel connected or emotionally present. You may feel numb, detached, or like you’ve lost the ability to care the way you used to.

Moral Injury

Facing ethical dilemmas or witnessing harm you couldn’t prevent can leave deep emotional wounds. You might feel guilt, anger, or distress over decisions you had to make — or weren’t allowed to make.

Vicarious Trauma

Absorbing the trauma of patients or clients can lead to trauma symptoms of your own. Nightmares, hypervigilance, emotional numbing, or replaying events in your mind are all signs that your nervous system is overwhelmed.

Grief & Loss

Frequent exposure to death and loss — especially without time to process — can result in unacknowledged grief. Over time, this can build up and weigh heavily on your emotional health.

Identity Confusion or Career Fatigue

You may wonder: Who am I outside of this role? You’ve given so much of yourself to your work that you may feel lost, stuck, or unsure of your future — especially if your values or needs have shifted.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of healthcare workers do you work with?

We work with therapists, doctors, nurses, and many other healthcare workers!

I’m used to putting others first. Is it selfish to focus on myself?

Not at all. In fact, taking care of yourself is part of what sustains your ability to care for others. Therapy is a space where your needs finally come first — and that’s not selfish, it’s necessary.

Will I have to explain medical or clinical terms in therapy?

No. We understand the healthcare world — the pace, the pressure, the emotional toll. You won’t have to start from scratch or over-explain your work. This space is for you to breathe and be human, not professional.

I’m worried about confidentiality. Will this affect my job?

Therapy is completely confidential. What you share in sessions stays in sessions, unless there’s a safety concern. Many healthcare workers worry about stigma, but you deserve support just as much as the people you care for.

Do you offer evening or telehealth sessions to fit a healthcare schedule?

Yes — we understand the demands of shift work and unpredictable hours. We offer flexible scheduling options, including telehealth, to help you get the support you need without adding more stress.
