Therapy for Therapists/Mental Health Professionals

A Safe Space for the Helpers to be Human

As a therapist, counselor, psychologist, or mental health provider, you dedicate your career to caring for others. You listen deeply, hold space, and offer healing. But what happens when you need support?

With over six years of experience as a licensed psychologist in private practice, I’ve had the privilege of working closely with therapists, counselors, and other mental health professionals who have sought their own therapy. I understand the unique challenges that come with sitting in the therapist’s chair—the compassion fatigue, the blurred boundaries, and the pressure to always “have it together.” My experience supporting providers has given me deep insight into the ways therapists both thrive and struggle, and I bring that awareness into creating a safe, collaborative space where you can set aside your role as the helper and focus fully on yourself.

Why Therapists Seek Therapy

Many mental health providers hesitate to reach out for support—thinking they “should know better” or worrying about stigma. In truth, caring for yourself is essential for sustaining your work.

Common reasons therapists seek therapy include:

Burnout and Compassion Fatigue – Feeling emotionally drained from carrying clients’ stories.
Work-Life Balance – Difficulty setting boundaries and disconnecting after sessions.
Isolation in the Profession – The confidential nature of therapy can leave you feeling alone.
Personal Challenges – Relationships, grief, parenting, or life transitions.
Professional Growth – Deepening self-awareness to enhance clinical work.

Benefits of Therapy for Mental Health Providers

Therapy allows you to experience the same healing space you provide to your clients:

A private and judgment-free space to process what you carry.
Support for restoring energy, balance, and clarity.
Increased self-compassion and resilience in the face of stress.
Guidance on navigating the unique pressures of being a helper.
Renewed passion and perspective in both your personal and professional life.

By prioritizing your own mental health, you not only nurture yourself but also strengthen the care you provide to others.

My Approach

I understand the unique experiences of therapists seeking therapy. In our work together, you’ll have permission to take off the “therapist hat” and show up as your authentic self.

My style is:

Collaborative and supportive – You don’t have to do this alone.
Tailored to you – Whether you want short-term support or long-term growth.
Grounded in respect – Acknowledging the courage it takes to be vulnerable as a provider.

This is your space to explore, process, and recharge.
