Support for Doctors and Healthcare Providers
Doctors dedicate their lives to caring for others, but who takes care of you? Whether you're a physician, specialist, resident, or medical student, the demands of the healthcare profession are relentless. Long hours, high-stakes decision-making, administrative burdens, and navigating patient advocacy often leave little room for your own well-being. Add to that the challenges of managing legal and ethical considerations, workplace politics, and financial pressures, and it's no wonder many physicians experience burnout.
At Freedom Support Services, we recognize that doctors are human too. Our team of compassionate counselors understands the unique stressors you face and provides a supportive, confidential space for you to process challenges, find balance, and maintain your mental and emotional health.

Why Choose Freedom Support Services?

We understand the complex demands of practicing medicine, including burnout, compassion fatigue, and decision fatigue.

Personalized Support

Flexible Appointments
We offer in-person and virtual counseling to fit your busy schedule, serving families across the entire state of Virginia.
