Therapy for Helping Professionals
Whether you work in the healthcare field or another helping profession, you are just as worthy of the same level of support you give others.
If you are a therapist, doctor, nurse, caretaker, work in public health, teacher, a first responder, serviceperson, etc., you might relate to putting other people's needs first because that is the nature of your job. If you don't feel like you have a lot left to give yourself at the end of the day, I want to support you so you can find ways to change that.
