Therapy for Therapists and Helpers

As therapists, we hold space for others every day. We sit with pain, uncertainty, trauma, and resilience. But behind the role of “helper,” we are also human—navigating our own fears, histories, and struggles. And sometimes, being the one who knows how to listen makes it even harder to reach out for support ourselves.

​

If you’re a therapist seeking therapy, you might carry questions like:

• Why don’t I have it all together?

• What if my therapist judges me or thinks I'm a bad therapist?

• Aren't I supposed to know how to handle this on my own?

• Will I lose my license if I admit this out loud?

• Am I bad at my job if I'm still struggling with the same things that my clients struggle with?

• Shouldn't I be fixed by now?

• What would my clients think if they knew that I still struggled?

​

These are tender, vulnerable concerns. They’re also completely normal.

​

You don’t have to hold it all alone.

​

Even though you know the theory, the skills, and the “right” answers, that doesn’t mean you don’t deserve care. In fact, therapists are often at higher risk of burnout, compassion fatigue, and imposter syndrome precisely because of the work we do.

​

Therapy is your space where you don’t have to perform, teach, or prove yourself. You don’t have to be the “strong one.” Here, you get to simply be a person—with your own story, your own wounds, and your own need for healing.

​

Common themes I support therapists with:

• Imposter syndrome and self-doubt: feeling like you’re not “good enough” even when you know otherwise

• Perfectionism and inner criticism: the pressure to always get it right, in and outside the therapy room

• Personal lived experience: navigating your own trauma, mental health, or body story as a professional helper

• Burnout and boundaries: finding sustainable ways to keep doing the work you love without losing yourself

• Fear of being judged: worries about what it means to need help when you’re supposed to be the one helping

• Asking for support: we spend so much time encouraging our clients to ask for help but often neglect to honor our own needs.

​

A therapy space just for you.

​

I know the courage it takes to seek out therapy as a therapist. I also know the relief of finding someone who understands the unique complexities of this work and won’t hold your humanity against you.

​

You are allowed to need support.

You are allowed to struggle.

You are allowed to be cared for.
