When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’ ― Fred Rogers

Has ‘compassion fatigue’ affected your job?

Therapy for Therapists

For Professional Care Providers Only (In-person and Online)

Therapists, social workers, caretakers, pastors, healthcare workers, veterinarians, first responders, school counselors, etc., you have a generous heart and help make this world a better place. Your profession has always been stressful, but the Covid-19 pandemic intensified those stressors. If you feel like you have lost yourself due to the stress of caring for others, you may be experiencing what is known as compassion fatigue.

Signs of compassion fatigue may include:

  • Feelings of powerlessness in the face of a patient suffering

  • Reduced feelings of empathy and sensitivity

  • Feeling overwhelmed and exhausted by work demands

  • Feeling detached, numb, and emotionally disconnected

  • Difficulty concentrating and making decisions

  • Difficulty sleeping and sleep disturbances like nightmares

  • Increased conflict in personal relationships

  • Self-care neglect

Combat workplace stress and compassion fatigue with therapy

As a fellow therapist, I can relate to your career-specific challenges. At times, we aren’t comfortable asking or accepting help, and believe that because we understand the impact of stress and trauma, we will naturally have solutions to the obstacles in our lives.

You know it’s ok to seek additional support. We all need it at times. Let’s work together to help reground you, find clarity, and find your inner strength and peace.

Together we will:

  • Implement necessary boundaries to prevent compassion fatigue

  • Develop compassion and kindness towards yourself

  • Transforming challenges into growth and connection

  • Connect with your inner self and intuition

  • Set boundaries for personal self-care
