Clinical Therapy (California only)
The Teaching Well’s Clinical Therapy services offer educators critical care in moments of personal or community crisis.
The goal is to heal deep employee burnout and prevent attrition. These somatically oriented counseling sessions with school-based, Teaching Well-trained therapists are provided in brief therapy cycles, which serve as a retention intervention in tough times.

Grief and loss incidents typically pushed aside in work (i.e. loss of a student or colleague, reproductive loss)
Anxiety related to school or community threats or violence
Treating the 5 symptoms of burnout: helplessness, cynicism, sense of failure or self-doubt, decreased satisfaction/motivation, feeling detached or alone in the world
Lack of belonging or forming healthy relationships, especially related to a marginalized identity

Sometimes issues that are beyond our scope are brought to us as part of our services, including therapy, and while we welcome expression around those topics, our staff will likely invite you towards continued care with an expert who specializes in the support you deserve. The Teaching Well’s clinical program does not specialize in:
· Psychosis, including symptoms of hallucinations
· Eating disorders
· Substance abuse
· Homicidality
“I wasn’t sure if I would make it back to the classroom after I miscarried, especially because of the waitlist for clinical help through my benefits. Through the brief therapy cycle with The Teaching Well, I was able to heal and return to my students.”
