Therapy for Therapists

ONLINE THERAPY FOR THERAPISTS AND HELPING PROFESSIONALS ACROSS IOWA

As a therapist, you dedicate your life to helping others navigate their challenges. This work can be rewarding, but it can also be emotionally draining, leading to fatigue, burnout, strained relationships, and emotional exhaustion.

How often do you scroll through Psychology Today, searching for someone you can trust? Finding the right therapist is a crucial first step in your healing journey.

I understand the unique demands of our profession. I am here to offer a safe, supportive space where you can prioritize your own mental health and well-being.

Why Therapy for Therapists?

  • Together, we’ll identify the signs of burnout and develop effective strategies to rejuvenate your passion for your work.

  • We will explore and process the emotional toll of your work, allowing you to reconnect with your purpose and joy in therapy.

  • I’ll guide you in setting healthy boundaries that protect your emotional space while enabling you to be fully present for your clients.

  • Together, we’ll cultivate resilience skills that empower you to manage stress and maintain a balanced professional life.

  • We’ll work on silencing that imposter syndrome—the doubt you feel about your abilities or the fear that you're somehow a fraud, despite your experience and training.

  • Maybe your struggles aren’t about your job. Therapists aren’t immune to having struggles.

  • Explore and resolve struggles managing your caseload, paperwork, or administrative tasks.

taking time for you

One of the most rewarding aspects of my work is supporting fellow helpers. I’ve been there. I struggled to balance work and family, often putting my physical and mental well-being on the back burner. Eventually, burnout set in, and I was ready to quit.

Finding a therapist was the pivotal step in transforming my relationship with myself. My story isn’t extraordinary, but I hope it’s relatable. It would be an honor to be part of your journey as you prioritize your well-being and navigate the path ahead.

Caring for Caregivers

You’re worth the investment.

Other reasons therapists seek therapy for themselves:

  • Emotional Exhaustion: Feeling drained, overwhelmed, or tired, resulting in a lack of energy for work and personal life.

  • Reduced Empathy: A noticeable decrease in empathy or compassion toward clients makes connecting or engaging in the therapeutic process difficult.

  • Increased Irritability: Feeling irritable or easily frustrated in and out of therapy can affect professional and personal relationships.

  • Cynicism or Detachment: Developing a pessimistic or cynical outlook toward clients or the profession can lead to feelings of detachment or disengagement.

  • Physical Symptoms: Experiencing headaches, gastrointestinal issues, fatigue, or other physical symptoms without a clear medical cause.

  • Decline in Work Performance: A decrease in the quality of work, such as missed sessions, lack of focus during therapy, or difficulty retaining information.

  • Loss of Motivation: A decrease in work enthusiasm leads to feelings of apathy toward clients and the therapeutic process.

  • Isolation: Withdrawing from colleagues, friends, or family, leading to feelings of loneliness or isolation.

  • Neglecting Self-Care: Putting self-care on the back burner and failing to engage in activities that promote personal well-being.

  • Overidentifying with Clients: Blurry or inconsistent boundaries resulting in being overly involved in clients' problems.

  • Increased Use of Unhealthy Coping Mechanisms: Relying more on unhealthy coping mechanisms, such as substance use, overeating, or excessive screen time, to manage stress.
