Professional Therapy for Healthcare Professionals and Mental Health Clinicians

As a licensed psychologist and recognized leader in psychedelic therapy, Dr. Ingmar Gorman understands the unique challenges faced by healthcare providers. Whether you're a therapist seeking therapy for therapists, a healthcare worker managing burnout, or a mental health professional navigating the complexities of your field, you deserve specialized support that honors your expertise while addressing your human needs.

The Hidden Struggles of Healthcare Professionals

Healthcare professionals face unprecedented challenges that the general public rarely sees. As therapists for healthcare workers, we recognize that those who dedicate their lives to healing others often neglect their own mental health needs.

The reality for mental health professionals:

  • Emotional exhaustion from holding space for others' trauma

  • Vicarious trauma from witnessing intense suffering

  • The myth of the "healed healer" creating unrealistic expectations

  • Professional isolation and difficulty finding therapists who understand your work

  • Burnout from extended sessions and emotional demands

For healthcare providers and healthcare workers:

  • Chronic stress from life-and-death decisions

  • Compassion fatigue from constant caregiving

  • Work-life balance struggles in demanding medical environments

  • Secondary trauma from patient experiences

  • Professional pressure to appear invulnerable

You need therapists for healthcare providers who understand these unique challenges—not just intellectually, but experientially.

Testimonials

  • "Working with Ingmar was nothing short of life changing. When I first sought out a therapist to help integrate my ketamine work, I was at the beginning of a journey in a very different modality. Not only was I scared and navigating new waters, I was deeply depressed. My personal exploration with alternative medicines found ground and assurance while working with Ingmar. It was a very trying time : Spelunking my mind through dusty corners where my ancestors wandered. But by allowing myself to be open and ask questions like, “why the depression” I shifted out of a ‘something is wrong with me’ framework. It never occurred to me that there would be an end to therapy. That the work could come to a close after great effort. Not only did Ingmar present me with this reality but I evolved into a healed version of myself with a greater understanding of intergenerational trauma and of myself."

  • "I have worked with multiple therapists throughout my life, and Ingmar truly stands out in a special way. Yes he is very well-trained, wise, and insightful, but he also possesses qualities that, in my experience, are unparalleled. These include innate and palpable empathy, a warmth that made me feel safe and supported, and a remarkable ability to listen and truly hear me, even when I couldn’t hear myself. He instinctively created a nurturing space where I felt recognized and understood, and in this space he was able to guide me onto a path of deep healing for the first time in my therapeutic journey. With all of his qualities combined, what he creates is a solid framework for the process of transformation. I cannot recommend him highly enough!"
