Mental health for first responders | Line One
First responders run toward danger when the rest of us run away, but the weight of those moments doesn’t just disappear. Trauma-informed therapy helps firefighters, police officers, EMTs, active military and veterans process the invisible wounds they carry.
This specialized care understands the unique pressures of the job, offering safe, confidential support that respects their experiences.
Host Dr. Justin Clark and Paul Gaines M.Ed. LCSW, LPC-S discuss mental health in first responders.
Therapy Services
At Luma Counseling, we provide specialized therapy services designed to support first responders, with a focus on the unique challenges faced by those in professions which confront trauma. Our approach integrates evidence-based methods to promote healing, resilience, and personal growth.
-
EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
A powerful approach for processing trauma, EMDR helps individuals reframe distressing memories through guided bilateral stimulation, reducing emotional distress and fostering long-term healing.
-
Talk Therapy
A supportive and confidential space where our clients can explore thoughts, emotions, and experiences with a trained therapist. Talk therapy provides tools to manage stress, anxiety, and trauma while fostering emotional well-being.

Transactional Coaching
A structured, goal-oriented method that blends therapy and coaching principles. This approach helps our clients identify patterns in their interactions, develop self-awareness, and create strategies for personal and professional growth.
Our therapy services are tailored to empower individuals, helping them heal from past experiences while building a stronger, more resilient future.
