Therapy for Judges

A role that requires careful judgment can leave little room to process your own emotional responses. The responsibility of decisions and exposure to difficult material may carry beyond the workday.

Start with your experience.

You do not need the perfect explanation. We can begin with what has been difficult and what you would like to understand.

What you may be noticing

  • Difficulty mentally leaving work
  • Feeling isolated by professional expectations
  • Harsh standards for your own reactions

Your experience may look different. These examples are starting points for a conversation.

How we can work on this

We can discuss the emotional impact of your work without including identifying case details. Our focus can include stress, boundaries, and the parts of your life outside professional responsibility.

I am Sam Rustum, LCPC. My work is collaborative: we will discuss your priorities, choose a starting point, and check whether our approach is useful to you.

A question you may have

Can I discuss confidential matters from work?

We can focus on your reactions without identifying case information. We will review confidentiality and its limits, and you should continue to follow your professional obligations.

Talk about your next step.

A free 15-minute consultation is a chance to ask questions and discuss fit. Sessions are $300 for one hour. Contact me to confirm availability, location, and payment options.
