Teacher Talk Therapist

About Teacher Talk

Teacher Talk offers therapy specifically for teachers. Our mission is to help teachers cope with work-related stress and anxiety, avoid burnout, and enjoy longer, more fulfilling careers.

We match our licensed therapists with teachers to provide therapy via telehealth. Sessions are held via secure video chat, making it convenient and accessible to teachers who work long hours or don’t have the time and energy to seek outside services.

Teacher Talk therapists are committed to meeting teachers where they are and working collaboratively to support them in reaching their therapeutic goals. Whether they are facing challenges in the classroom or in their personal lives, we believe that access to the right support and tools can help teachers improve their overall well being and be more effective teachers for their students.

We have come a long way in the time and attention we pay to the social and emotional learning of our students. It’s time to do the same for our teachers.
