About

First responders witness some of the most intense moments in a person's life. Post-traumatic stress (PTS) is commonly associated with first responders who have experienced extreme crises or violent acts. After their experiences, some people are at risk to exhibit symptoms of PTS such as extreme anxiety, crises-related flashbacks, unpredictable aggression, and mood and memory disturbances.

PTS counseling is the most effective method to relieve symptoms in individuals suffering from PTS. Our therapists at Lifeologie are trained in multiple approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness and Meditation, Group Therapy, and other alternative approaches. Your therapist may use one or multiple approaches to help you make sense of your traumatic experiences.

Common Challenges

PTS
grief
vicarious trauma
work/life balance
self-care
stress management

How does Lifeologie help?

Discuss your concerns with our intake specialists.

When you reach out to a Lifeologie, you’ll be connected with one of our Intake Specialists. In a “call center?” No way. Our specialists are each located in their local Lifeologie office and know the counselors well. Their entire job is to learn about you and what you’re looking for and to match you with the counselor who will be the very best fit for your needs and preferences.

Find a counselor that is passionate about helping you reach your mental health goals.

Our counselors are literally the cream of the crop. We get hundreds of applications every year to intern and work at our offices. Lifeologists are counselors, life coaches and overall wellness advocates who are experts and specialists in their craft. At the intern level, they have set themselves apart as incredible learners and collaborators, chasing after the highest-level trainings in the field. From EMDR to nutrition coaching to brain spotting and addiction specialists, we have you covered. Once you enter a Lifeologie office, you’ll find that we’ve carefully curated the environment to feel modern, comfortable and inviting. Counseling at Lifeologie is not your typical counseling experience – in any way.

Receive continuous support and guidance as you go on your mental health journey.

Your counselor at Lifeologie will meet you wherever you are, whether you’re just starting in counseling for the first time ever… or returning to a life-long counseling journey after a brief break. Your Lifeologist will partner with you to meet your goals. As you learn and grow, we can help you focus on overall wellness through mindfulness practices such as Psychotherapeutic Yoga or mindful eating. Wherever you are, we can come alongside and help you move forward!
