Online Therapy for Healthcare Workers
See details on blog.
In these unprecedented times, the demands placed on healthcare workers and professionals is ever-increasing due the rapid spread of the Coronavirus. In support of healthcare workers on the frontlines of an epidemic, Mind Above will cover co-pays for online therapy sessions throughout 2020.
As a mental health provider, social worker, and veteran it is important for me to do whatever I can to support those working tireless to save lives and heal the sick. That’s why I have made the decision to cover co-pays for healthcare providers seeking individual counseling for the rest of 2020.

The stress on healthcare systems is more than the infrastructure, it’s also the people providing the care who are doing the best they can with what supplies they have on hand. It is the tireless work and selflessness of healthcare workers and professionals including technicians, care managers, doctors, nurses, laboratory scientists, researchers, and more that are tasked with facing an invisible enemy. The level of need will continue to rise across the U.S. and Globally.
Self-care as an essential worker living in a quarantine world might be difficult to maintain. Many of the places that provide refuge from work life are not available as the community is faced with stay at home and shelter in place orders. There is a need for increased support and alternative solutions that are readily available whenever and wherever healthcare workers might be able to take time for their own care.
A modality that meets these needs for mental wellness and coping is online therapy (telehealth). Access to an unbiased resource that listens intently, aides in developing understanding, and is committed to healing are vital to those facing adversity at work. I encourage other mental health providers, if able, to make provisions to alleviate any barriers to care for those serving the community’s health. We all have a part to play and I hope to see more providers taking care of their own well-being just as they take care of others.
