Federal, State & Local LEOs, Agents & First Responders Therapy

Bamboo Center offers therapy for law enforcement and first responders. Your life is full of stressful situations, and we offer you a place to safely process them.

Bravery, Honor, Integrity, Service, and Duty to Protect — Yourself

THERE ARE PERSONAL COSTS TO BEING HIGH SPEED AND TACTICALLY SOUND.

For Federal, State, and Local Agents and Officers, just another day at work frequently includes highly stressful decisions, expectations, and performance requirements. Your work includes life-and-death situations and exposure to traumatic incidents and scenes.  To put it bluntly: you face dangerous and shocking situations all the time.

Given social and professional expectations, it often seems unsafe to talk with superiors or colleagues about any difficulties you may be having.  You face the stigma that mental health concerns are a weakness, and such weaknesses put your job – your livelihood- at risk.  As such, you avoid talking about work related issues with anyone (including family and friends).

You know you need to unload, but you’re not sure where to turn.

Turn to me.  I have a unique, informed perspective that few, if any, other mental health providers can offer.  Having worked for 15 years in various capacities with several local and federal agencies, I know what it’s like. My intimate understanding includes the daily stresses and hassles, the pressures, the split-second decisions, the roles you play, and the magnitude of your job.

You need a safe space for unfiltered discussions without losing face or negative repercussions. You need someone who understands what your job is like without having to explain the nuances of your profession –or filter what you do and don’t share.  You need a space to talk, maybe to learn a few skills, and then to get back to work.  I get it.  I got you.

I specialize in working with:

  • FBI, DEA, ATF, and DOJ Agents
  • SWAT team members
  • Undercover Operatives
  • First Responders
  • Law Enforcement Officers
  • Firefighters

Common Issues for LEOs & First Responders

IT’S NOT “WEAK,” IT’S NORMAL

Since stress has a cumulative effect, you might find yourself caught in a no-win situation:  you know you’re not performing at your usual level but you don’t know how to talk about it without risking your reputation and job.  The pressure mounts and your reaction to it can bleed into other mental and emotional complications.  But don’t worry- those things don’t make you weak.  They are, in fact, common issues that Federal, State, Local LEOs and Agents face.  These often include:

  • Traumatic Stress
  • Vicarious (secondary) Trauma
  • Grief and Loss
  • Marital and Relationship Issues
  • Poor Stress Management Skills
  • Unhelpful Coping Strategies
  • Disturbed Sleep
  • Decreased sexual desire and performance
  • Issues related to shift work or long hours
  • Dissatisfaction with Life
  • Suicidal thoughts
  • Burnout

We can get you back to your hard charging self – to perform at your peak.  Together we can work on incident-specific on-the-job traumas and stresses, personal concerns, or, well…any other topic that you choose. The time you spend with me is 100% about you, your needs, and your goals.
