Most BL firms have contracted out for therapists (but you only get a handful of sessions). Strongly recommend meeting with one, then, based on your needs/work situation/vibe, asking if they have anyone they’re recommend to you.
Coach
I tried this through my firm's program. Problem was, it wasn't tailored to white collar professionals at all. It was just a network of therapists for whom the program would pay, up to a certain number of sessions. First person I got paired with flaked on me, and then the second - when I told him what I do for a living as a white collar investigations lawyer - asked, "Oh, like background checks?" Then he started riffing on how I just need to keep a positive attitude. He also couldn't get his phone to show more than half of his face and needed his assistant to get his audio working, despite claiming to be able to do remote sessions (during the pandemic).
Most useless hour I wasted during one of the most stressful times of my life.
Do you have mental health issues, past trauma, etc or are you looking for strategies to deal with the pressure of work? Therapists typically shy away from coaching (and often make bad coaches) and coaches can't do therapy. A great coach might be the ticket. Coming from someone who generally hates that entire industry.
