Counseling for Healthcare Professionals
As a survival mechanism, healthcare workers often compartmentalize their most traumatic experiences. Over time, not sharing with peers, family, or counselors may result in significant symptoms of psychological trauma.
Recognizing this need in the Lancaster community, we’ve created two distinct services tailored to healthcare professionals.
A Completely Confidential Space
Healthcare professionals in every level of career tend to experience higher rates of stress, trauma, and burnout with their occupation.
The long hours, physical demand, and high-stakes of healthcare combined with the isolation of the career has led to alarming suicide rates.
We understand that many healthcare professionals hesitate to seek counseling services due to confidentiality concerns and even stigma within the career field.
Our therapy for healthcare professional services is a completely confidential space that is safe for healthcare professionals to begin unloading and processing through the traumatic experiences they’ve often been carrying for years.
We offer private 1:1 confidential sessions, and group therapy sessions where you can maintain your anonymity. All sessions can be done in person or virtually to better accommodate your privacy needs and schedule.
Solace for Surgeons: Private Therapy for Surgeons
It is a physically demanding 12+ hour day job, and the mental load is even more significant. A surgeon’s work is constantly under review, evaluation, and can be called into question during and even long after a procedure is finished.
We developed the Solace for Surgeons program to specifically help surgeons address the stresses and challenges with the mental, emotional, and social demands of their work.
One of the most shocking things we learned starting this program is that almost every single surgeon we work with has never discussed their experiences in group therapy or 1:1 sessions. This type of isolation and compartmentalization is not sustainable.
Solace for Surgeons provides surgeons with private 1:1 and group therapy opportunities to unload the trauma inherent to a career in the operating room.
Healing for Healthcare Heroes - Therapy for Healthcare Professionals
Once we’d discovered the need for therapy for surgeons was so prevalent, we pulled back the curtain and realized that healthcare professionals of all types would benefit from private, confidential 1:1 and group therapy services.
Examples of careers or fields our Healing for Healthcare Heroes clients often work in include:
Critical Care
Emergency Medicine
Pediatric Medicine
Primary Care Medicine
EMTs
Physician
Nurse
Respiratory Therapist
Midwife
Obstetrician
Working in healthcare can be as rewarding as it is draining. We’ve created this therapy space for healthcare professionals to be able to work through their own trauma free of judgement or professional anxiety.
We walk with you in this journey to identify and relieve the psychological burden you carry with you into work every day. Our goal from the beginning has always been rooted in helping to lower the rates of suicide and professional burnout across healthcare careers.
We offer both 1:1 and group therapy sessions in both in-person and virtual environments to best accommodate your schedule.
