Therapy That Understands the Demands of Your Badge
As a Chico Police Department (CPD) officer, you handle:
✅ High-stakes arrests and emergency calls
✅ Public scrutiny, courtroom stress, and political pressures
✅ Long shifts, forced overtime, and unpredictable demands
✅ Daily exposure to trauma, violence, and loss
Over time, these pressures can lead to:
Emotional exhaustion or burnout
Hypervigilance, irritability, or anxiety
Difficulty relaxing, sleeping, or maintaining relationships
Wondering how long you can sustain this without breaking
You don’t have to face this alone. Private therapy with a police-specialized therapist can help you recover, restore resilience, and protect your long-term health — confidentially, with no risk to your career.
