Therapy That Understands the Unique Stress of Burbank’s Firefighters

As a Burbank Fire Department (BFD) firefighter, you face:
✅ High-risk fires, rescues, and emergency medical calls
✅ Long, unpredictable 24-hour shifts
✅ Constant exposure to trauma, injury, and human tragedy
✅ The silent expectation to stay tough, composed, and reliable under pressure

Over time, this intense workload can result in:

  • Emotional burnout or exhaustion

  • Anxiety, hypervigilance, or irritability

  • Trouble relaxing, sleeping, or staying connected with family

  • Wondering how long you can keep pushing without help

You don’t have to navigate this alone. Private therapy with a trusted firefighter therapist can help you process trauma, rebuild resilience, and protect your mental health — all confidentially and safely.

Why Burbank Firefighters May Avoid Seeking Therapy

✅ Fear of stigma or judgment within the department
✅ Worry that insurance records create a papertrail
✅ Concern over fitness-for-duty evaluations or promotions
✅ Frustration with therapists unfamiliar with firefighter stress
