DMC believes wholly in the therapeutic process and the importance of therapists asking for and receiving help themselves. This is hard work we do, and often we take on the emotions of those we help. We can easily become worn out, disorganized, feel overwhelmed, feel disconnected from others, seek unhealthy ways of coping to avoid – we are human. As clinicians, we also have unique needs.
Compassion fatigue is very real and it impacts both our professional and personal lives. As helpers, it is important for us to take care of ourselves and be aware of how our work impacts our body and mind.
Many of our clinicians have advanced trainings in areas of clinical practice like family systems, suicide risk, EMDR, disordered eating, Polyvagal theory, and more. If you are seeking consultation on an individual basis, please reach find each clinicians' specialties on their bio page.

This group offers a space to reconnect with purpose, deepen presence, and sustain meaningful clinical work.

Julie offers advanced training in an evidenced-based suicide intervention (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training: ASIST) workshop through LivingWorks Education in addition to custom-made presentations on working with suicide as a therapist.

Working in this field demands that we take care of ourselves and seek support and consultation from others to avoid burnout. Group support is a powerful way to build community and to feel understood and validated in our work.
From time to time, we offer supportive, group activities for therapists in the community to come together and share in a healing experience. These might include an easy hike, walk in the park, yoga, sound and vibrational healing, music in the park and more. If you are interested in being kept in the loop on upcoming activities, reach out to be added to our email list for therapists.
