Therapy for Teachers
You’ve wanted to be a teacher for so long. You’ve gone to school, accrued the necessary direct teaching hours, and now you’re finally working as a teacher. Despite all of your training, your school district keeps throwing additional tasks at you, such as school dances, oversee/coaching sports, and bus duty. The school district keeps undergoing budget cuts, resulting in more students being added to your class. You love working with kids but are feeling overwhelmed with burnout and trying to find a balance between work and home. I am psychologist with over a decade of clinical experience who provides online therapy for teachers after school.
In my clinical experience, I’ve worked with educators who teach:
Elementary School
Middle School
High School
Special Education
In my personal life, I understand many of the demands teachers experience, because my mom was a teacher. I know what it is like to see your mom stay up late grading papers, having to show up for teacher work days, or be asked to help with an after school event. It can be exhausting and the work feels like it’s never done. These ongoing demands can make it challenging to take care of yourself and family outside of work. I am a psychologist with over a decade of clinical experience who provides online therapy to teachers. With convenient afterschool hours, you can access therapy when you need it. I am in-network with the North Carolina State Health Plan, resulting in affordable care for teachers. I am an independently owned business, who does not partner with online therapy groups, and does not use AI in her business practices. Tranquil Talk Therapy will directly file with your insurance and will work with you to navigate your insurance plan.

Healthcare workers often experience high rates of burnout. The job itself is hard. You are asked to work long hours, with an often erratic schedule (e.g., nights and weekends). You encounter an immense amount of suffering on a daily basis. You may notice yourself feeling:
Feeling exhausted no matter how much you rest
Dreading work that used to feel manageable or meaningful
Feeling numb, detached, or irritable
Going through the motions on autopilot
Losing empathy or patience (especially common in caregivers & healthcare workers)
Thinking, “I can’t keep doing this,” but feeling trapped
Cynicism or bitterness
Guilt for not “doing enough”
Hopelessness or feeling ineffective
Anxiety before work or on days off
Reduced sense of accomplishment
Your employer will likely not encourage you to set boundaries to protect your mental health, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it. Working with a licensed therapist who specializes in healthcare burnout can help you identify ways to reduce burnout and improve overall mental health. I am a licensed therapist with a background working in an integrated care team. I understand many of the stresses you’re going through and can help you navigate your concerns.
