Support for Maryland’s teachers who are supporting others ALL DAY LONG!
In-person or online counseling services to meet your scheduling needs
Supporting Committed (and Exhausted) Public School Teachers!
Teaching is more than a job. It’s a calling, a passion, and a responsibility that often extends beyond the classroom. You spend your days caring for students, adapting to curriculum changes, meeting performance expectations, and navigating the emotional weight of your work. The pressure to do more with less can leave you feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, financially constrained, or questioning whether you can keep going at this pace.
If you’re struggling with stress, burnout, anxiety, a workplace trauma, or the emotional toll of teaching, you don’t have to carry that alone. At LifeSpring Counseling Services, we provide therapy for teachers across Maryland, helping you manage the demands of your career while prioritizing your own well-being. You’re “on” all day. Therapy is a time where you can let yourself relax and focus on yourself.

Common Challenges Teachers Address in Therapy at LifeSpring
Teachers juggle a lot, and the impact on mental health is real. Some of the challenges we often hear about from teachers include:
-
Feeling drained from being “on” all day and then continuing to work at home
-
Managing overwhelming workloads and unrealistic expectations
-
Feeling unsupported by school systems or administration
-
Difficulty setting boundaries between work and personal life
-
Anxiety about job security, evaluations, and policy changes
-
Navigating school politics and difficult workplace dynamics
-
Feeling emotionally exhausted from the weight of students’ struggles
-
Experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event at work
-
Concerns about safety and school shootings (even if they’ve never happened at your school)
If any of these sound familiar, know that you're in good company and that therapy can help. Talking to a licensed professional who understands the unique pressures of teaching can give you the support and tools you need to manage stress, regain balance, and feel more in control.
Why Teachers Put Off Therapy
Even when teachers know they’re struggling, many put off getting help. It can sound like:
"I don’t have time. My schedule is already packed."
We offer evening appointments so you don’t have to take time off work. Some of our teachers get creative by scheduling therapy during their lunch break, planning sessions, using their sick time to attend sessions, or signing up for therapy in the summer. And, we make signing up for therapy easy!"I can’t afford therapy."
Fortunately, we accept most major health plans offered by public school systems in Maryland. Our billing team can help verify your benefits, so you know how much therapy will cost with the use of your insurance.
"It’s just part of the job. Everyone feels this way."
Teaching is tough, but stress and burnout don’t have to be the norm. You deserve to feel better, and support is available to help you get there."Finding a therapist is too much of a hassle."
We make scheduling simple with a streamlined process and availability for new clients. Getting started doesn’t have to be overwhelming.
We get it. That’s why we make therapy as accessible as possible. We offer evening appointments so you don’t have to miss work. We take insurance so cost isn’t a barrier. We have a simple scheduling process so you don’t have to jump through hoops to get help. And most importantly, you don’t have to handle everything on your own. You spend so much time taking care of others. It’s okay to let someone support you too.
