My mother was a psychiatric nurse practitioner and also a licensed psychologist. My father is also a licensed psychologist and is still in practice a few hours a week at the age of 82.
So I grew up inside the mental health world, and I have spent my career treating the people who treat everyone else. At Evolve Counseling & Wellness, I work with physicians, nurses, and fellow clinicians across Orlando who are worn down from giving all day. Reach out to my office or call (407) 616-5948 for a free 15 minute consultation.
Who Do You Work With in Healthcare?
Over the years I have sat with physicians, nurses, physician assistants, occupational and physical therapists, and speech therapists. I also work with a lot of fellow psychotherapists and psychologists, which not every therapist is comfortable doing. Clinicians make hard clients in the sense that they know the playbook, and they often hold themselves to an impossible standard. When you spend your whole day being the competent, calm one, it can feel strange and even threatening to be the person in the other chair. I get that, and I am not fazed by it. You do not have to perform wellness in my office. You get to be the one who is struggling for once.
What Usually Brings a Healthcare Worker to Therapy?
Most people arrive burned out, depleted from giving and giving with nothing coming back. A good number are working moms running on empty at home and at the hospital both. Others come in after a specific trauma on the job, the kind civilians do not see, like losing a patient or watching a child suffer. Those moments do not just stay at work. They follow you home, interrupt your sleep, and show up as anxiety, intrusive images, or a numbness you cannot shake. You are trained to keep moving through all of it. That training saves lives on shift, and it quietly costs you when there is never a moment to put the weight down.
Is It Really Confidential If We Work in the Same City?
Confidentiality is the first thing I reassure people about, because it is the first thing clinicians worry about. Nothing leaves my office without your written permission, full stop. I take that seriously and I say so plainly, because I know how small the professional world can feel. My Baldwin Park office also has a private back door, and I have offered it to clients who would rather not be seen coming or going. I keep my scheduling flexible around shifts, too, since a nine to five slot is useless to someone working nights. The goal is to remove every excuse your exhausted brain can invent for not getting help.
Do You Offer Appointments Around My Shifts?
Yes, I keep my scheduling flexible on purpose, because healthcare does not run on a tidy weekday calendar. Shifts rotate, overtime appears out of nowhere, and a standard nine to five slot is useless to someone coming off a night rotation. We find times that fit your real schedule, and when coming in is not realistic, we meet by secure video from wherever you are in Florida. That matters for clinicians who work odd hours or who simply do not want to spend a day off sitting in a waiting room. The whole idea is to remove the practical excuses your depleted brain reaches for to avoid getting help, because those excuses are convincing when you are already exhausted. You make room for everyone else's needs all day long. Let's make room for yours, at a time that does not cost you the little rest you have.
