Therapy for First Responders

First responders face unique challenges that come with high-stress environments, exposure to trauma, and the responsibility of protecting others. I specialize in working with this population, providing tailored support to help first responders process difficult experiences, manage stress, and build resilience. Whether it’s addressing PTSD, cumulative stress, anxiety, or burnout, therapy offers a confidential and supportive space to work through these challenges.

Extensive Experience with First Responders
I have extensive experience working with first responders, and I deeply understand the demands and complexities of your role. Over time, I’ve honed a trauma-focused approach tailored to the needs of these groups, drawing on evidence-based methods such as CBT, ACT, and Schema Therapy to help navigate the unique pressures and challenges of their work. My work with first responders has given me insight into the needs of those who often prioritize others over themselves, and I’m passionate about providing the care and tools needed to foster well-being and resilience.

Benefits for First Responders
Many first responders have access to extended health benefits that cover psychotherapy with a Registered Psychotherapist. If you’re unsure about your coverage, I can guide you in confirming the details with your provider. I provide receipts that can be submitted for reimbursement, helping make therapy accessible and manageable.

We’ll discuss your concerns, explore how I can help, and ensure therapy is a good fit for you.
