THERAPY FOR THE HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL

Dr. Maple is experienced in providing therapy to healthcare professionals, including psychotherapists, physicians, surgeons, nurses, dentists, pharmacists, and emergency medical technicians.  The work of a healthcare professional creates unique stress for the provider for three reasons:

• We providers are focused on helping our patients improve their well-being.  Some of this work occurs in emergency situations or in urgent situations.  Even in calmer times, our patients' trauma or suffering is distressing to us.  In the aggregate, this work takes a toll on our own emotional well-being.  

• The culture of healthcare includes an unspoken assumption that the provider should be able to resolve his or her own problems.  Regarding one's cognitive, affective, and behavioral functioning, this assumption is illogical and embracing it creates a no-win situation for the provider.  

• The confidentiality of our patients' information limits the types of disclosures that we are able to make, which limits the provider's opportunity to vent the emotions that he or she feels regarding the work.

Through psychotherapy, a provider  can address issues related to one's professional work as well as issues of family, marriage, social relationships, professional relationships, career development, personal finances, substance use, addictive behaviors, grief, trauma, and other matters.  

For a Christian, such matters do not exist separate from one's spirituality.  At Crosswalk, you can discuss your relationship with God in regards to your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.  We can help you grow your spirituality to drive your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
