Counselors in Need of Counseling
We as counselors, therapists, social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists – healers… We came into this field because of our genuine interest in helping others find balance in life, suffer less, and problem solve more efficiently. Our tools are our minds and our hearts. We bear witness to human suffering day in and day out, and each day we maintain hope for every personal story we hear. Healers are asked to check their own personal issues at the door and be present with each and every client. For many of us, this diligent kind of undertaking causes emotional and mental “spillage” from time to time. Burnout is high in all of the mental health fields, and I am here to help. By going to counseling, mental health professionals strengthen their resilience and ability to create mental space for their clients, while simultaneously decreasing the likelihood of countertransference, burnout, compassion fatigue, and vicarious trauma. Mental health professionals are humans, too. We are talented in our ability to provide an immense amount of empathy; however, we sometimes struggle in providing ourselves with the same courtesy.
We are pleased and honored to offer a safe space to mental health professionals of all kinds. As providers who seek out their own counseling, we are here to offer an opportunity for healers in need. We have provided counseling to other mental health professionals for years, and believe we can be a place of refuge and respite for the mental health professionals in the Denver area.
