Los Angeles Police Department Officers: How to Access Private Therapy With a Police-Specialized Therapist
Therapy That Understands the High-Stakes World of LAPD Policing
As a Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officer, you face:
✅ High-risk arrests, pursuits, and investigations in one of the world’s most demanding cities
✅ Constant exposure to trauma, violence, and human tragedy
✅ Long shifts, forced overtime, public scrutiny, and intense political pressures
✅ The relentless expectation to remain composed, sharp, and emotionally tough under nonstop stress
Over time, these pressures can lead to:
Emotional burnout or exhaustion
Hypervigilance, anxiety, or irritability
Difficulty relaxing, sleeping, or maintaining family connections
Wondering how long you can keep doing this without help
You don’t have to handle this alone. Private therapy with a police-specialized therapist can help you process trauma, rebuild resilience, and protect your mental health — confidentially and safely, with no department involvement.
Why LAPD Officers Often Avoid Therapy
✅ Fear of judgment or stigma within the department
