By the very nature of what you do as first responders, you are exposed to traumatic events daily. On each call you are experiencing other people’s worst day… multiple times a day. While this is just a normal part of your job, it is still considered traumatic. Your job does not have to take such a heavy toll on you! Therapy can provide tools to allow you to process your traumatic experiences in logical and less harmful ways so you can continue to do the job you love without losing yourself.

Medical personnel often believe that it is simply a part of their job to be exposed to the myriad of things that they experience each day. While this is true, it is not uncommon for those in the medical field to experience symptoms of PTSD, secondary traumatization, burnout, increased feelings of depression, or hopelessness. Therapy provides an opportunity to regain balance and learn skills to continue working more effectively in the field you love.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a brief, trauma-focused therapy that is one of the newest and most unique trauma modalities.

Grief
Grief is a natural psychological and physiological reaction to loss. It is not a mental illness, but rather a healthy and understandable reaction to losing someone or something very important to us. Therapy can help us realize that although grief does not end, over time our experiences in life grow bigger and so the grief no longer feels so overwhelming.
Parenting Groups
Circle of Security Parenting (COSP) is a reflective parenting program that was developed to assist caregivers in implementing new insights and skills to better understand their child’s needs and what their child is trying to communicate. It pulls from five decades of attachment research in psychology and puts it into an easy to implement model that assists caregivers in connecting with their children. Unlike many parenting programs today, COSP is not just a theory, but was created while actually working with parents for over 15 years to establish a model that is easily understood and allows for long-term positive change.
Animal Therapy
AAT is a type of therapy that strategically incorporates human–animal interactions into a formal therapeutic process. It is considered an adjunct to existing therapy and is guided by a licensed professional who has also been certified as an AAT handler to work with a certified animal.
