Therapy That Understands the Unique Stress of Your Role

As a Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety officer, you carry the dual weight of both law enforcement and firefighter duties. That means:
✅ High-stakes police calls and violent incidents
✅ Emergency medical response and firefighting
✅ Long, unpredictable shifts and court demands
✅ Constant exposure to trauma, injury, and life-or-death decisions

Over time, you may feel:

  • Emotionally exhausted or detached

  • Hypervigilant, anxious, or easily angered

  • Burned out, struggling to focus or connect with loved ones

  • Wondering if you can keep doing this without breaking down

You don’t have to face it alone. Private therapy with a trusted therapist can help you rebuild resilience, recover emotionally, and protect your long-term health — without risking your career.

Why Sunnyvale Officers Hesitate to Seek Therapy

✅ Fear of fitness-for-duty evaluations or suspension
✅ Worry that insurance claims leave a papertrail
✅ Concern about judgment or stigma among colleagues
✅ Frustration with therapists who don’t understand the dual demands of public safety roles
