Being a therapist can be one of the greatest and most rewarding jobs. You get to help people overcome their fears, help them learn to loves themselves, and be with them as they heal from past experiences. You worked hard to get the job that allows you to help others. And somewhere along the way, you’ve lost yourself. You feel burned out, worried that you aren’t enough, and too exhausted to care for yourself.

Does this sound familiar?

If so, you’re not alone. So many therapists pour into their jobs and serve others. We get told that it is our ethical obligation to take on as much as we can so others don’t suffer. Our jobs, like any job, requires balance. But you feel guilty. Anytime you think about taking a break, you remember that others are struggling and feel the pressure to take it all on. At the expense of your own mental health.

Heck, maybe you even were taught in grad school or have seen other therapists in the field say how selfish it is to do X, Y, or Z so that fear of judgement keeps us stuck in the same cycles that are dooming us.

Instead of daydreaming about other jobs, it is time to nurture your own mental health so you can keep doing the important work you do.

You help others all day, who helps you?

Yes, even therapists go to therapy.

You aren’t expected to have it all together just because you are a therapist. You are human. Our jobs are wonderful AND can be hard. You deserve a space to process and grow, for you. I can help!

Together, we can explore the dynamics of being a therapist. The reasons why you got into the field and the legitmate hardships or barriers the systemic mental health field puts on us helpers. You can start to kick the imposter syndome away by examining the social pressures and beliefs that impact us.

We can also help you set boundaries and find a meaningful work- life balance without all the guilt.

FAQs

  • Maybe, but probably not. Just like you are able to help people who share similar knowledge that you have, we are different enough!

  • HECK NO! In fact, I think any therapist that goes to therapy is brave and cares about the profession.

    We all have blindspots, triggers, emotional responses, life stressors, and insecurities. I want to create a space for you to feel safe enough to share those things and move through them.

  • Not for me! If you haven't been to therapy before, it can feel awkward the first few sessions but I find that most of my clients are comfortable after the free consult or during the first session.

  • I get to be the one to worry about that! If we are in the same area, we will talk about how to handle events or seeing each other in public. I will also be the one to minimize dual relationships and protecting your confidentiality.
