Therapy for Lawyers

Quiet pressure. Long hours. Very little room to come undone.

Your career demands a lot—professionally and personally.

Legal professionals work under conditions most people don’t see:

• Constant deadlines and high-stakes outcomes

• Adversarial environments that require composure under pressure

• Long hours, often at the expense of rest or relationships

• The mental load of managing clients, teams, or partners

• Decision-making in gray areas with real consequences

• Compounded stress from systems that aren’t always fair or clear

Outside the office, that pressure doesn’t always let up.

• Partners or spouses who want connection

• Kids who want presence

• Families who may not understand the demands

• A lack of time or energy for processing anything beyond the next obligation

Why Some Lawyers Turn to Therapy

Therapy can offer space that legal work rarely provides.

Not to fix you.
Not to analyze every feeling.
But to help you process what’s been building—mentally, emotionally, and physically—without judgment or overwhelm.

It’s often used to support:

• Burnout prevention and recovery

• Mental clarity and emotional regulation

• Stress processing without shutting down

• Boundaries between professional role and personal identity

• A clearer sense of direction when something internal starts shifting

No assumptions.

Just space to explore what you’re carrying—and whether it needs to keep being carried the same way.

What clients say:

“Zack was a patient and caring guide through a difficult time.

He provided a therapeutic relationship that offered a balance of support and challenge, helping me build a stronger foundation from which to live my life.

Through EMDR I was also able to travel to the root of many beliefs that were stifling my growth — making core changes to how I see myself and my world — opening up more love in all directions.

I’m grateful.”
