Therapy For Therapists

Carl Jung once said, “One doesn’t become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. The latter procedure, however, is disagreeable and therefore not popular.” Individual counseling is a path through which you can reveal and reclaim your inner light — not just as a therapist and healer, but as a human being.

Perhaps you’re feeling a surge of anxiety in session with a new client, and you’re unsure why, but you sense it’s triggering something in you. Let’s explore that together and uncover the deeper layers.

Are your clients or your work showing up in your dreams, turning into fear-based nightmares? Do you dread going into work? Do your professional relationships feel heavy and draining, as though something is out of balance?

Maybe you feel like you’re giving your clients the best of yourself, but when it comes to your personal life, there’s not much left to give. You find yourself avoiding friends or your partner, not wanting to hear about their day or their struggles because you simply don’t have the bandwidth. Or perhaps you can’t turn off your “therapist brain” and find yourself constantly analyzing and fixing problems in your personal relationships.

Maybe, when you return home at the end of the day, it feels like you’re not truly home — just going through the motions of evening routines, disconnected from your own needs and desires.

We all need to heal our wounds, yes, but we also need to be proactive in preventing burnout. Let’s catch the spark before it turns into smoke. Together, we’ll stop the unconscious patterns that may be fanning the flames of burnout, putting out the fire before you become too crispy.

The most effective therapists are those who have walked their own path, heard their own call, journeyed through their own Hero’s Journey, and experienced profound inner healing. They make self-care a priority, just as a surgeon or carpenter needs the right tools to do their best work — we, too, are our tools.

Through individual counseling, you will grow in understanding, intuition, and compassion — some of the most powerful ingredients for self-healing. As we work together, you may discover some profound truths. You might realize you no longer want to work with a certain population, or that you need more training or fewer hours. Change is part of the journey, and that’s okay.
