Therapy for Physicians and Residents

Medical training and practice can be exhilarating, and isolating. Long hours, relentless responsibility, and life-and-death decisions come with a cost. Dr. Barefoot provides a confidential, judgment-free space to help you stay well while you do important work.

What we focus on:

  • Stress, anxiety, and moral distress
  • Burnout prevention and recovery
  • Perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and role strain
  • Boundaries, teamwork, and sustainable leadership
  • Grief, complex emotions, and identity beyond the job
  • Maintaining mental and physical health during residency
