Therapy for Healthcare Workers in Orlando
Many of my clients are working moms and spend all of their time taking care of others. You give your days to patients, and often to a family at home too, until there is nothing left over for you. This is a place to let someone care for you, for the burnout and the trauma, in a private office in Baldwin Park or online.
Heal from the Stress of Caring for Others
Healthcare is not just a job. It is a calling that asks for everything you have, in high-stakes moments, every day, where the pressure to be perfect never really lets up because the cost of a mistake is so high. That adds up. Over time it can turn into burnout, deep anxiety, or compassion fatigue, along with a sense that no one outside the hospital quite understands what you carry. I do understand it, and my office in Baldwin Park is a place to set that weight down for an hour.
I am Dorian Race, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with more than 30 years of experience helping people find their footing again. One of the methods I use is Accelerated Resolution Therapy, an evidence-based approach that helps process trauma and hard memories without talking through every painful detail for hours. I also work with the anxiety, OCD, and intrusive thoughts that a high-stress environment can bring on. You do not have to keep pushing through the exhaustion on your own.
I know your schedule is chaotic. Shifts rotate, overtime lands without warning, and you work odd hours. So I keep the options flexible. You can come to the private Orlando office in person, or we can meet online in secure, HIPAA-compliant sessions from anywhere in Florida, whether you are a nurse in Winter Park or a physician in Lakeland. I see healthcare professionals across Orange County and Polk County, including Orlando, Winter Park, and Lakeland.

Common Ways Our Minds Seek Safety
Take Back Control of Your Life
You are used to being the one in charge, but lately it can feel like the job is in charge of you. The stress follows you home. It keeps you up at night and makes it hard to be present with your family. Getting past burnout is not about taking one vacation. It is about learning to set boundaries that actually hold, so you can separate work from home and enjoy your time off without guilt. The goal is to move from surviving your shifts to living your life.
Healing is not about fixing something broken. It is about remembering who you were before the stress took over. We build that back slowly, with practical skills for handling the pressure of the medical field and for catching the signs of overwhelm before they pull you under. For some people, Accelerated Resolution Therapy helps take the edge off one specific traumatic shift. If you are facing a big change, like switching careers or moving to a new hospital, we can work through that too. This is not only about getting by. It is about finding something to enjoy in your work and your life again.
You spend your days advocating for patients. Let me advocate for you for a change. This is a space where you do not have to be the strong one, where you can actually fall apart for a while. I offer online sessions to make getting support as easy as possible, whether you want a therapist here in Orlando or a session from your home in Tampa. My focus is on helping you feel like yourself again, not just scrape by.

I’m not sure I’m up for therapy, it sounds stressful. Should I still come and see you?
It’s important that you consider the toll this is taking on your life. Many times, people battling with burnout have trouble leading productive lives outside of work. I encourage you to consider treatment before it gets to that level. I am happy to discuss treatment options with you. Feel free to schedule a complimentary phone consult with me if you’d like to learn more about treatment options.
Do You Understand What Healthcare Work Is Really Like?
Yes, more than most, because I grew up inside this world. My mother was a psychiatric nurse practitioner and a licensed psychologist. My father is a psychologist who still sees clients a few hours a week at 82. My first job at 19 was on an inpatient psychiatric unit where my mother ran the groups. So when you talk about charting, shift work, or the weight of a hard case, I am not learning it from a textbook.
Over the years I have worked with physicians, nurses, physician assistants, occupational and physical therapists, speech therapists, and a lot of fellow therapists and psychologists who need a safe place to fall apart too. Most people arrive burned out, depleted from giving and giving, and many are working moms running on empty. Others come in after a trauma on the job, like losing a patient. Confidentiality is the first thing I reassure you about. Nothing leaves my office without your written permission. My office also has a private back door, which I have offered to clients who would rather not be seen coming or going, and I keep scheduling flexible around shifts.
Healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken. It’s about remembering what’s whole.
