Therapy for Medical Professionals in Connecticut, New York, and PSYPACT States.

I provide therapy for physicians and other medical professionals who are accustomed to functioning at a high level while carrying significant emotional and professional pressure.

Clients may include attending physicians, residents, fellows, nurses, advanced practice providers, and other healthcare professionals. The shared issue is often not an inability to function. It is the growing personal cost of continuing to function without adequate support.

Ordinary stress often improves when the immediate demand passes. Burnout tends to persist and can affect how you experience your work, relationships, and life outside medicine.

You may feel emotionally numb, increasingly cynical, detached from patients, unable to recover between shifts, or resentful of responsibilities you once handled more easily. You may still be performing well while feeling depleted internally.

Therapy can help identify what is driving that disconnection and what needs to change before functioning becomes unsustainable.

Yes. Many medical professionals wait to seek support because they are still working, meeting expectations, and caring for patients.

Professional competence does not necessarily reflect emotional wellbeing. Therapy offers a place to address burnout, perfectionism, emotional disconnection, and relationship strain before it develops into a more serious crisis.

Therapy is private and confidential within the limits established by law and professional ethics. I do not routinely share information with employers, hospitals, colleagues, or licensing boards.

I will explain confidentiality, its legal exceptions, and any documentation considerations before treatment begins. Medical professionals with a specific licensing, credentialing, or legal concern should raise it during the consultation so they can receive accurate guidance about their situation.

Therapy is not another performance review or professional obligation. You do not need to arrive with the correct explanation, diagnosis, or treatment plan.

I help medical professionals understand how strategies such as compartmentalization, intellectualization, and emotional suppression may have supported their careers while creating distance in their personal lives. The work can include burnout recovery, emotional processing, perfectionism, and developing a more meaningful life outside work. It can also include exploring relationship patterns and the limits you set on what you give to work and to others.

This is common among highly trained professionals. Insight can explain why a pattern exists without changing how you experience it emotionally.

I help clients move beyond analyzing their reactions and begin experiencing, tolerating, and responding to emotions differently. The goal is not to abandon rational thinking. It is to build access to parts of yourself that professional expertise alone cannot resolve.

My medical-professional work focuses on concerns such as burnout, high-functioning stress, perfectionism, emotional numbness, and relationship disconnection.

If your primary concern involves coping with a chronic medical condition, pain management, treatment adherence, or another issue requiring specialized health psychology, a health psychologist may be more appropriate. I can help determine fit during an initial consultation.

My practice is designed primarily for ongoing individual psychotherapy rather than one-time evaluations or documentation-only services.

If your primary need is a disability determination, formal psychological evaluation, or paperwork from a clinician who has not been providing your ongoing treatment, contact me before scheduling. I can clarify whether the request falls within my services or whether another provider would be a better fit.

Yes. I provide online therapy to clients located in Connecticut, New York, and participating PSYPACT states. I also offer in-person sessions in Farmington, Connecticut, depending on current availability.

Online therapy can make it easier for medical professionals to receive consistent support around demanding or unpredictable work schedules.

Begin with a free 15-minute consultation. You can discuss what has been happening, ask questions about confidentiality and fit, and determine whether working with me feels like the right next step.
