Can therapy really help with burnout or compassion fatigue?

Yes—therapy can help you recover from burnout and compassion fatigue by giving you space to slow down, process what you’ve been carrying, and reconnect with yourself outside of your professional role. For many who work in healthcare and helping fields, the constant responsibility, emotional intensity, and exposure to others’ pain can slowly drain the sense of purpose that brought you to this work. In therapy, we’ll explore how these experiences have shaped you, notice early signs of exhaustion, and develop strategies to restore balance and meaning in both work and life. Over time, therapy can help you regain perspective, strengthen boundaries, and reconnect with the sense of calling that drew you to caring for others in the first place.

How can therapy help me reconnect with meaning in my healthcare work again?

It’s easy to lose sight of meaning when you’ve been giving so much of yourself to others and your career. Therapy offers space to step back and reflect on what first drew you to this work, how it’s shaped you, and what might help you reconnect with a sense of purpose and balance in both work and life. Together, we’ll identify what’s been depleting your energy or sense of fulfillment, and begin rebuilding habits that support your well-being. Therapy can help you reconnect with your values, rediscover pride in the care you provide, and remember that your worth extends beyond the role you fill.

Therapy for Healthcare Workers

Get started

Caring for others often comes at a cost. Long shifts, constant demands, and the weight of responsibility can leave healthcare workers feeling exhausted, isolated, or burned out. In therapy, you’ll find space to reflect, recharge, and be supported — with a therapist who knows firsthand the realities of almost a decade in healthcare.

I work with nurses, physicians, first responders, and other healthcare professionals navigating stress, compassion fatigue, trauma, and the challenge of balancing personal life with professional demands. Together, we’ll explore the impact of these experiences, strengthen resilience, and build tools to support your well-being.

My role is to walk alongside you with steadiness and understanding. Therapy with me is collaborative, compassionate, and focused on helping you restore balance, reconnect with yourself, and move forward with clarity and hope.
