Therapy for Burnout in Physicians, Attorneys, and Healthcare Professionals

You take care of everyone else. Who takes care of you?

You’re the one people count on. The physician who holds it together through a brutal shift. The nurse who absorbs a family’s grief and then walks into the next room. The attorney carrying a client’s worst day home every night. The therapist or practice owner who holds space for everyone but has nowhere to set it all down.

You’re good at what you do, and that’s part of the problem. High performers are skilled at pushing through, so the warning signs get easy to ignore until they aren’t.

This might sound familiar:

• You’re exhausted in a way that sleep and vacations don’t fix.
• You feel numb, short-tempered, or detached from work that used to matter to you.
• Certain cases, patients, or moments replay in your mind long after they’re over.
• You’re second-guessing yourself, or quietly wondering how long you can keep doing this.
• You know you should talk to someone, but you worry about time, privacy, or what it might mean for your career.

What you’re feeling has a name. Burnout, secondary trauma, and moral injury are real responses to carrying other people’s pain for a living. They’re not signs that you’re weak or in the wrong field.

How I can help

I’m Candis Ubiles, LCSW, and I specialize in trauma and burnout among professionals in high-demand, high-responsibility work, including physicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals, attorneys, and fellow clinicians and practice owners.

Our work together is practical and grounded in evidence-based approaches, including CBT and trauma-focused therapy, alongside parts-informed and body-aware work that helps you understand what’s happening underneath the exhaustion. We’ll focus on what you need: making sense of what you’ve been carrying, getting relief from symptoms that are affecting your work and life, and building a way of working that’s sustainable.

For those who want it, faith-integrated care is available. It’s never required.

Built around your life and your privacy

• Private pay, by design. Nothing is billed to insurance, so your care stays between us.
• Telehealth or in person. Sessions are available virtually for clients in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, or in person at my Montgomeryville office.
• Discretion you can count on. I understand the professional pressures you work under, and confidentiality is central to how I practice.

You don’t have to keep carrying it alone.

Reaching out is often the hardest step. Let’s start with a free 15-minute consultation to talk about what’s going on and whether we’re a good fit.
