Taking care of yourself to better help your patients.
Therapy for healthcare providers in New York
Are you struggling to cope with the emotional demands of being a healthcare provider? Is your well-being impacting your relationships outside of work or patient care?
Many who go into a career in healthcare do so because they simply want to help people. Others join the medical field after experiences as a patient or as a caregiver of a patient. Some enjoy trying to solve complex problems in the body to find solutions, like solving a puzzle.
A career in healthcare requires strength, resilience and strong coping mechanisms. Healthcare providers often face stress from high external pressure to perform - not only from patients but also from hospital administration or insurance companies. It can also be difficult to not be impacted by your patients - and many take their work home with them emotionally.
