Therapy for Therapists
A place to be heard
I know from experience how hard it can be to find a therapist when you’re a therapist yourself. It can be even more challenging when you’re looking for someone with a faith-based theoretical orientation.
You may also feel concerned about finding a confidential space to work with a therapist when the world of therapists can seem incredibly small. You want to be absolutely sure that your therapist will respect your privacy.
You might be looking for your own therapist because you’re feeling overwhelmed by the countertransference you’re experiencing as a trainee and you need help processing what’s come up.
Or maybe you’re feeling conflicted and trying to find harmony within your faith and your work.
Or maybe you’re looking for a therapist to support you through any number of human experiences because therapists are people too.
However you arrived here, I’m so glad you’re here. Read on to see if my counseling services might be a good fit for you.
When left unchecked, therapists can be especially prone to burnout, depression, and even depersonalization or dissociation.
Maybe you have a tendency to take on more than you can handle in the name of helping others, but this isn’t sustainable. You are just as human as the clients that you serve.
In many circles in our field, we receive messages that we ought to have our “stuff together,” which makes it feel less safe to explore ways that life feels messy.
You may even be questioning whether you chose the right profession.
If any of these experiences describe you: you need a space where you can safely take off your “therapist” hat, let your guard down, and let someone else attune to your needs.
How I approach sessions
My Therapeutic Style
I tailor my approach to each individual’s needs, often pulling from more than one therapeutic style for any individual.
With that said, I tend to emphasize person centered therapy as the foundation to other evidence-based approaches which might be relevant to your needs.
In particular, I prioritize understanding your values and desires for your life. Together we identify places where your actions may be misaligned with your values and navigate solutions to change.
Ultimately, I will always collaborate with you on your care.
