Therapy That Understands the Weight You Carry Every Shift
As a Riverside Fire Department firefighter, you face:
✅ Large structure fires, rescues, wildland fire threats, and medical emergencies
✅ Long, demanding 24-hour shifts with unpredictable calls
✅ Constant exposure to trauma, injury, and human tragedy
✅ The need to stay calm, sharp, and emotionally strong under extreme pressure
Over time, these demands can result in:
Emotional burnout or exhaustion
Anxiety, hypervigilance, or irritability
Difficulty relaxing, sleeping, or connecting with family
Wondering how long you can keep going without help
You don’t have to handle this alone. Private therapy with a firefighter-specialized therapist can help you process trauma, rebuild resilience, and safeguard your mental health — safely, confidentially, and without department involvement.
