FAQs 

If I pursue individual mental health therapy, will it affect my job or any of my certifications?

No. Therapy at ForestView First Responder Wellness and Mental Health is confidential and private. I do not report to departments or employers unless legally required (imminent safety concerns), which is consistent with standard mental health ethics.

​

Do you understand First Responder culture?

Yes. My services are designed specifically for First Responder professionals and account for the realities of shift work, exposure, dark humor, and cumulative stress. I have also completed a certification in First Responder Counseling. 

​

Is this only for PTSD or crisis situations?

Not at all. Many clients seek support for burnout, chronic stress, sleep issues, grief, anxiety, or emotional overload long before reaching a crisis point.

​

Do you work with active-duty First Responders?

Yes. My approach is built to support individuals who are currently working in high-pressure roles.

​

Do I provide “touchy-feely” individual mental health therapy?

No forced vulnerability. No fluff. I focus on practical tools, nervous system regulation, and real-world application while utilizing direct, evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy.
