Most of us engaged in providing care and assistance to others, whether it is in a hospital or consultation room, had the desire to be of service and to make the world a more humane place through our efforts. That desire may have come from a single event, a person who was special to us or a family or spiritual tradition that encouraged us to dedicate our lives to helping. Over time, the day-to-day realities of medical/legal/ mental health practice can make us forget the “why” of our professional choices.

Physicians, veterinarians, attorneys and mental health professionals now must deal with corporate systems, threats of lawsuits and social media concerns (online bullying) that can erode our souls and contribute to significant distress.

As a mental health professional and health care provider, who has worked extensively in human health care and with attorneys, I invite you to contact me regarding psychotherapy for burnout that can help you work through your challenges, allow you to rekindle the essence of your career or help you open new, and perhaps yet-be-realized, paths.
