Counseling for Therapists, Caregivers, & Healers
Taking care of others is taking its toll on you…
You’re at the edge of burnout and you don’t know where to turn because you have to keep giving to others.
It’s slowly getting harder and harder to keep caring for others. Your emotions are scattered and you feel overwhelmed. Compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, and burnout are familiar concepts but you can’t shake your feelings...or quit the work you’re doing.
Sometimes its difficult to shake off the burdens you carry for everyone else.
We get it. And we can help.
We understand the importance of self-care and healing for therapists, helpers, caregivers, and other healers. As clinicians with extensive work histories in acute and high stress work environments, Dr. Jasso & Dr. Salazar have the experience you need to help you step away from the edge of burnout.
We can offer you the safe space you need to heal yourself ... so you can continue to heal others.
