Therapy That Respects the Weight You Carry
As an officer with the Berkeley Police Department (BPD), you deal with:
✅ Intense public scrutiny and political pressure
✅ High-stakes arrests and community tensions
✅ Long shifts, court demands, and overtime
✅ Constant exposure to trauma, protest violence, and human suffering
Over time, the stress can build up and show as:
Emotional numbness or burnout
Anger, anxiety, or hypervigilance
Difficulty relaxing, sleeping, or connecting with loved ones
Wondering if you can keep going without support
You don’t have to handle it all alone. Private therapy with the right therapist can help you heal, rebuild resilience, and protect your well-being — without risking your badge.
