San Bernardino Fire Department Firefighters: How to Access Private Therapy With a Firefighter-Specialized Therapist
Therapy That Understands the Demands of San Bernardino Firefighting
As a San Bernardino Fire Department (SBFD) firefighter, you face:
✅ Structure fires, wildland fires, medical emergencies, vehicle rescues, and hazardous materials incidents
✅ Long, unpredictable 24-hour shifts across a high-demand, high-risk service area
✅ Constant exposure to trauma, injury, and human tragedy
✅ The expectation to stay sharp, resilient, and emotionally steady under nonstop stress
Over time, these pressures can lead to:
Emotional exhaustion or burnout
Hypervigilance, anxiety, or irritability
Difficulty relaxing, sleeping, or maintaining family connections
Wondering how long you can keep pushing without support
You don’t have to handle this alone. Private therapy with a firefighter-specialized therapist can help you process trauma, rebuild resilience, and protect your mental health — safely, confidentially, and without department involvement.
