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.

Why Chico Officers Avoid Seeking Therapy

✅ Fear of triggering fitness-for-duty reviews or suspension
✅ Worry that using insurance creates a papertrail
✅ Concern about judgment or stigma within the department
✅ Frustration with therapists who don’t understand the realities of police work
