Quitting my job soon and am thinking about becoming a therapist/counsellor for lawyers and other high stress professions. Taking a poll on whether you would be attracted to the idea of a therapist who worked in biglaw and could speak to burnout, perfectionism and other mental health issues we typically face as lawyers. Thanks :)

Perhaps speak with Doron Gold? He’s a former practicing lawyer now doing counselling. Great resource.

Great idea. Thank you!

I would love this! I tried a therapist once but being a non-lawyer she just didn’t get it. It felt like a useless exercise working with someone who couldn’t relate.

Yes 100% would be interested in this!

I wouldn’t trust. What qualifies you to offer therapy?

I’m getting licensed. It’s just a focus area.
