Therapy for Therapists
in Ontario
As a therapist, you hold space for others every day. But who’s holding space for you?
​
At The Journey Counselling and Psychotherapy, we offer therapy tailored specifically for therapists and helping professionals. Whether you’re feeling the weight of vicarious trauma, questioning your capacity, or simply need space to reflect and restore, we’re here to support your healing too—virtually across Ontario and if you are near Wingham, Ontario, come try our Equine Assisted Psychotherapy.
“You deserve the same care and compassion that you offer to others.”
How Our Therapy for Therapists Works
Whether you're looking for short-term support or ongoing personal work, we tailor therapy to your needs, goals, and context. Sessions focus on your wellbeing—not your caseload—so you can explore, reflect, and recalibrate.
​
“Good therapy makes you a safer, more present therapist. But more importantly—it helps you feel more human again.”
Common Challenges for Therapists
Even the most experienced clinicians aren’t immune to emotional exhaustion. The pressure to be present, effective, and ethical while holding the pain of others can take a toll over time.
​
Therapists often experience:
-
Chronic stress and burnout
-
Compassion fatigue or secondary trauma
-
Feelings of imposter syndrome
-
Isolation or disconnection from peers
-
Difficulty setting boundaries with clients or employers
-
Emotional numbness or over-identification with client pain
If you’re feeling stretched thin, it doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means you’re human—and it may be time to refill your own well.
