Counseling For Therapists

Therapist’s Need Therapy Too!

“As Sigmund Freud wrote in 1912, “Anyone who wishes to practice analysis should first submit to be analyzed himself by a competent person.””

At Evolve Therapy Group, we understand that therapists and mental health professionals also need support and guidance in their personal and professional lives. Our specialized team of therapists is here to provide a safe and confidential space for therapists to explore their own challenges, enhance their self-care practices, and navigate the unique stressors that come with being a helping professional.

Why Therapists Therapy?

Therapists and mental health professionals dedicate their lives to supporting others, but it’s important to remember that they too need support. Therapy for therapists can help address a range of concerns, including:

  1. Compassion Fatigue and Burnout:

Therapists often experience compassion fatigue and burnout due to the emotional demands of their work. Therapy can help therapists manage these challenges, develop self-care strategies, and prevent burnout.

  1. Vicarious Trauma:

Working with clients who have experienced trauma can impact therapists on an emotional and psychological level. Therapy provides a space for therapists to process and heal from the vicarious trauma they may experience.

  1. Professional Development:

Therapists may seek therapy to enhance their professional skills, explore new therapeutic modalities, or address any personal issues that may impact their work with clients.
