Therapy That Understands the Firefighting Stress You Carry
As a Sacramento Fire Department (SFD) firefighter, you face:
✅ High-intensity fires, rescues, and life-threatening emergencies
✅ Long, grueling shifts with unpredictable calls
✅ Constant exposure to trauma, injury, and human loss
✅ The pressure to stay sharp, calm, and resilient in extreme conditions
Over time, these pressures can show up as:
Emotional exhaustion or burnout
Hypervigilance, anxiety, or irritability
Difficulty relaxing, sleeping, or connecting with family
Wondering how long you can keep carrying this burden alone
You don’t have to manage this without help. Private therapy with a firefighter-specialized therapist can help you process trauma, rebuild resilience, and protect your mental health — safely and confidentially.
Why SFD Firefighters Often Avoid Therapy
