Breaking the Stigma: Counselors Seeking Counseling with Stephan Monteserín & Dr. Emily Burch

At the end of the day, counseling is for people, people who need or want that guidance and support, regardless of their own formal knowledge.
Ever wondered if the people who help us navigate our mental health struggles ever need help themselves? In this episode of the 'To Write Love on Her Arms' podcast, host Chad Moses sits down with LMHC Stephan Monteserín and Dr. Emily Burch to discuss just that. They tackle the often-overlooked stigma that mental health professionals face when seeking counseling for their own issues.
Despite their training and expertise, counselors, therapists, and psychologists are human too, and they aren't immune to life's challenges. Stephan and Emily dive into the benefits of therapy for those in their field, the growing role of telehealth, and the critical importance of self-care. They also share insights on how to combat empathetic burnout—a common issue among mental health professionals.
This episode is a refreshing reminder that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness, no matter who you are.
