Online Therapy for Busy Professionals in North Carolina| Burnout Therapy in the Triad

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. Tranquil Talk Therapy is an online therapy group rooted in the Triad. I often work with teachers who are employed in Forsyth, Guilford, Yadkin, Mecklenburg, Davidson, Watauga County School systems, and other school systems across the state of North Carolina.  With convenient afterschool hours, you can access therapy when you need it. I am in-network with the North Carolina State Health Plan and am a preferred provider. For clients using North Carolina State Health Plan insurance, their co-payments often range from $10-$15.

You have worked your tail off to become a healthcare worker. You knew the job would be a lot but you didn’t expect it to be this hard. You entered this field because you wanted to help people, but working in corporate healthcare is hard. You have a sea of notes, back-to-back appointments, and little to no administrative time. You love your patients, but they can be a lot sometimes too. You’re feeling tired, burned out, and overwhelmed. 

Working with a psychologist who understands the ongoing demands on healthcare workers can help. I am a psychologist with a background working in an integrated care setting, and I often understand the unique challenges healthcare workers face while working in both the inpatient and outpatient setting.

Tranquil Talk Therapy often works closely with clients who are employed as:

• Doctors

• Residents

• Nurses

• Advance Practice Providers

• Respiratory Therapist

• Pharmacist

• Dieticians

Many of my clients are employed at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist, Novant Health, and Cone Health. Therapy with me is a place where you don’t have to explain the chronic stress of working in healthcare. You get to start working with someone who “gets it.” 

Tranquil Talk Therapy provides secure online therapy to healthcare workers. After working in healthcare, many of my clients may have privacy concerns from working with large online therapy groups. Tranquil Talk Therapy is independently owned and operated. I do not partner with online therapy groups, billing groups, or am affiliated with any hospital. In plain language, no one has access to your medical record but me (unless you give permission otherwise). Online therapy with me is a place to work with someone who “gets it” and works hard to keep your information safe and secure.

You’re probably a lot like me. You’re someone who has devoted their academic and professional career to helping other people, but you also need support from time to time. As a therapist, you know how to engage in thought challenging, likely know your values, and know how to engage in mindful breathing. You aren’t looking for someone who just teaches skills. Rather, you want someone who can tailor their approach to you. Someone who can listen carefully, respond thoughtfully, and provide directed feedback, when appropriate. 

Tranquil Talk Therapy provides online counseling to clients who are employed as therapists. As a psychologist and business owner, I understand many of the challenges that are associated with our field, including low pay working at agencies, fee splitting in private practice, and ongoing billing and reimbursement issues with insurance. Our profession expects us to have graduate degrees yet provide affordable therapy for everyone. Depending on where therapists work, we can experience financial uncertainty, low pay, and way too many clients to meet with. It can be exhausting and is a recipe for burnout. Somehow, we are expected to take care of ourselves, so we can show up for our clients. That’s where I come in. 

Online therapy with me is a place to start working with someone who gets it. You don’t have to explain. You just get instant support. With my clients, I have a person centered approach, and I focus on the person's narrative, provide support, and identify ways to live more value congruently. Our work will likely be an unstructured format. Because, let’s be honest, therapists don’t usually like structure in their own healing work. And, that’s okay. I’ll work hard to meet you where you’re at and provide a safe and healing space to process your concerns. Tranquil Talk Therapy is an independently owned business in North Carolina and does not partner with online billing groups (e.g., Headway or Alma), large online platforms, or use AI note taking. Privacy is important, and I take it very seriously. Your information is safe with me.

As an attorney, you’ve devoted countless years of your life studying to be a lawyer. Your academic career has been catapulting to this moment for almost a decade, and it’s finally here. When you entered the field, you knew there would be nights you stayed late to work, angry clients, and an immense amount of stress. What you didn’t realize is how lonely the field can be. You’re surrounded by people all the time, but you are never able to fully join with them. You may find yourself avoiding certain spaces and places because you may run into your clients, making it challenging to join specific communities and build friendships. Due to the nature of your work, you’re supposed to give 110% to the job, but that doesn’t leave much time for yourself. You’re emotionally exhausted, tired of taking work stress home, and tired of feeling exhausted from everything. On the outside, your life looks happy, but on the inside you feel miserable. 

Legal assistants often experience similar stressors, with having to work in a fast-paced and high stress environment. You’re expected to work at peak performance and often without recognition. Your job is to make life easier for your attorney. This might mean having to deal with angry and frustrated clients on your attorney’s behalf. You often find yourself exhausted physically and emotionally from working in a fast-paced environment. 

Tranquil Talk Therapy provides online counseling to attorneys and paralegals who need support with the emotional exhaustion of working in the field. With a personal background working as a legal secretary, I’m familiar with the workplace environment, the fast paced nature of the job, and the workplace expectations. By choosing to work with Tranquil Talk Therapy, you get to start working with a therapist who actually understands the workplace demands and can help you navigate the stresses at work.

Tranquil Talk Therapy is independently owned and operated, with your confidentiality in mind. Your notes are only accessed by me, making our work secure and confidential. Stop suffering alone and reach out today for support.
