You Need Help — But You Need It to Stay Private
If you’re a California first responder — firefighter, police officer, EMT, paramedic, dispatcher, or correctional officer — you know the job can leave emotional scars.
But even if you’re ready to get help, you might be asking:
✅ Will my department find out?
✅ Will this show up on insurance records?
✅ Will seeking therapy hurt my career?
At Cerevity, we understand these concerns deeply. That’s why we offer private, confidential therapy options designed specifically for first responders — so you can get the help you need without involving your workplace.
Why Privacy Matters for First Responders
Many avoid therapy because they fear:
Fitness-for-duty evaluations
Career advancement risks
Department gossip or stigma
Insurance papertrails linking them to mental health services
Our private-pay, HIPAA-compliant system ensures your care stays between you and your therapist. Period.

✅ No insurance involvement — no claims, no records, no papertrail
✅ HIPAA-compliant virtual sessions — secure, encrypted video from anywhere in California
✅ Specialized clinicians — experts in first responder culture, trauma, and burnout
✅ Flexible scheduling — evenings, weekends, or between shifts
