Therapy for Teachers

Are you a teacher in a public or private school and feel overwhelmed by the demands of the position? 

Are you leaving work over-exhausted, irritable and totally burnt out? 

Are you the one person so many kids turn to talk to about the intensity of their lives at home? You may feel good about how deeply you care, but completely helpless as far as supporting these kids through hard times. 

I want to support you in navigating the challenging times of working with children in a complicated school environment. I want to help alleviate that feeling of overwhelm that is very normal for a caring, sensitive person like you. My experience working with teachers is extensive and I can support you both with your own mental and emotional wellness as well as provide resources and concrete ideas on how you can support the children in your classroom.   

 

Teacher
Support Group

After Years of leading staff and teacher support groups in public schools around the city, I'm thrilled to offer this therapeutic treatment modality as an aspect of my private practice. This group is designed to support teachers who feel overwhelmed and isolated, holding the burden of the systemic oppressive forces of the schools in which they work. As a teacher of children with intense and traumatic life stories, you may find yourself feeling exhausted, isolated, more irritable and completely burnt out. My teacher support group provides a way to connect with other teachers coping with similar challenges and offers ways of navigating life in the classroom with children of concern. My group is a safe and supportive therapeutic environment, where you're invited to process your reactions, triggers and become more in touch with the joy and deep meaning of your work, helping you achieve an elevated work-life balance. 
This group will meet once a week in 8 week intervals (8 sessions).

Individual Therapy 

I've had a depth of experience working with adults, exploring issues related to grief, anxiety, depression, interpersonal challenges and life transitions. I enjoy supporting individuals in their journey of self-exploration, especially teachers and people in the helping professions. I'm attuned to the challenges that can come up in helping others, as it can be difficult to find a comfortable balance of providing for others and receiving enough, yourself. I utilize mind-body based techniques, CBT and a variety of supportive therapeutic modalities. I can help support you in self-reflection and reconnecting with your internal strengths and resources, enhancing your overall wellbeing and attention to self-care.
