Burnout Therapy for Healthcare Professionals in Kitchener, Toronto and the GTA

You’ve kept going through things most people wouldn’t understand. Long hours. Broken systems. Constant crisis. You’re a nurse, a doctor, a chaplain, a PSW; a professional helper trained to hold it all together. But lately, something’s cracking. You’ve noticed that you’re exhausted in a way sleep doesn’t fix. You feel flat, cynical, or numb. You’ve lost touch with who you are outside the role. This isn’t personal failure. It’s the cost of care in a system that demands so much of you. I offer online therapy for healthcare professionals in Kitchener, Toronto and across the GTA who are ready to recover their voice, vitality, and sense of self.

You’re Great at Holding It Together, But Lately It’s Holding You Hostage

You’ve been the steady one in the storm. The one who is paid to show up when others fall apart, and at first you loved it, and it was so fulfilling to help and serve others. But now, you’re running on fumes. Maybe it’s burnout. Maybe it’s something deeper, like moral injury, soul fatigue, a creeping sense that you’re losing yourself. And it’s normal and predictable in helping professions. When your nervous system and spirit take too many hits without time to recover, you begin to lose yourself; that’s why I say burnout is spiritual. I work with healthcare professionals in Kitchener, Toronto and the GTA who are ready to start reclaiming their clarity, boundaries, and inner sense of self.

This Work Changes You and Can Be Risky For Your Identity

You’ve seen things most people never will. Held hands through grief. Pushed through impossible shifts. Sat with suffering until it lodged in your bones. You didn’t choose this work to run yourself into the ground and end up in burn out or break down, but here you are, wondering where your energy, purpose, or faith in the system went.

Burnout for health care workers is often about moral injury, identity erosion, and the slow disappearance of your own needs. Whether you’re a nurse in Toronto, a PSW in Kitchener, or a hospital chaplain in the GTA, you deserve support from someone who understands the emotional and ethical cost of care. As a certified spiritual care practitioner and registered psychotherapist, I offer deep, soul-centred therapy for professionals who need to come back to themselves.

About Erika Mills, RP, Educator & Coach

Therapy helps you to make space to uncover what lies in your unconscious. It is a safe, confidential space where you can say whatever is on your mind without fear of judgement or repercussions. Having someone else listen and point out and help you reframe your experiences leads to a sense of validation, clarity and an opportunity to build awareness.
We will start with your golas and make a plan to get you where you want to be. The outcome of therapy will be to restore your sense of meaning and connection to yourself, your work, and your values

Burnout shows up in ways most people try to push through. Common signs include:

– Waking up already tired, no matter how much sleep you get

– Dreading work or feeling detached from something that used to matter

– Emotional numbness or irritability that creeps into relationships

– Difficulty concentrating or making decisions

– Physical symptoms like headaches, stomach issues, or frequent illness

– A sense that you’re always behind, even when you’re working nonstop

– Questioning whether what you do makes any difference

– Losing interest in things you used to enjoy, including time with people you care about

– Feeling like you have to fake being “fine” to get through the day
