Los Angeles County Firefighters: How to Access Private Therapy With a Firefighter-Experienced Therapist

Therapy That Understands the Scale of LA County Firefighting

As a Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACoFD) firefighter, you handle:
✅ Massive wildfires, complex rescues, and large-scale emergencies
✅ Long, demanding 24-hour shifts across vast regions
✅ Constant exposure to trauma, injury, and life-or-death situations
✅ The relentless expectation to remain sharp, resilient, and emotionally steady under extreme stress

Over time, this pressure can show up as:

  • Emotional burnout or numbness

  • Anxiety, hypervigilance, or irritability

  • Trouble sleeping, relaxing, or maintaining family connections

  • Wondering how long you can keep pushing without help

You don’t have to carry this alone. Private therapy with a firefighter-experienced therapist can help you process trauma, rebuild resilience, and protect your mental health — all confidentially, without risking your career.
