Santa Clara County Fire Department Firefighters: How to Access Private Therapy With a Firefighter-Specialized Therapist

Therapy That Understands the Stress of Silicon Valley Firefighting

As a Santa Clara County Fire Department firefighter, you face:
✅ Urban and suburban structure fires, wildland-urban interface threats, major rescues, and medical emergencies
✅ Long, exhausting 24-hour shifts across diverse cities and landscapes
✅ Frequent exposure to trauma, severe injury, and tragic loss
✅ The relentless demand to stay calm, sharp, and emotionally resilient under pressure

Over time, these demands can lead to:

  • Emotional burnout or exhaustion

  • Hypervigilance, anxiety, or irritability

  • Difficulty 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-specialized therapist can help you process trauma, rebuild resilience, and safeguard your mental health — safely, confidentially, and without department oversight.
