Therapy for First Responders and Their Families
Clinically reviewed by Karan Singh, Ph.D.
First responders see things most people never do, often on rotating shifts, with little time to process them. We offer confidential, evidence-based therapy with clinicians experienced in first responder culture.
Who we see
Firefighters, law enforcement, EMTs and paramedics, 911 dispatchers, corrections officers, ER and ICU staff, and their partners and families.
Common reasons people reach out
Critical-incident stress, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms, sleep problems, irritability, alcohol use creeping up, relationship strain from shift work, moral injury, and burnout, among others.
How we help
We offer trauma-focused therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Couples and family sessions are available because shift work affects the whole household.
Confidentiality
What you share in therapy is protected by privacy law and professional ethics, with the standard legal exceptions (such as imminent risk of harm), which your clinician will explain at the first session.
Flexible scheduling
Video sessions in the states where our clinicians are licensed, and in-person sessions at offices throughout the US.
Insurance
Aetna, Anthem, and Carelon. Ask us about your plan.
