Therapy for residents

and medical trainees

Confidential, thoughtful support during the most demanding time in training.

Medical training is intense. Residency is a time when even the most confident of us begin to question our competence. Long hours, high stakes, constant evaluation, and little room to pause can take a toll. Many interns and residents who reach out to Kane Psychology are functioning well on the outside while quietly carrying anxiety, burnout, emotional exhaustion, or self-doubt. Therapy offers a private, steady space to process the pressures of training and regain a sense of grounding and clarity.

Therapy at Kane Psychology is collaborative, grounded, and individualized. We work with adults in high-pressure professional roles and understand the realities of medical training, including limited time, unpredictable schedules, and the importance of confidentiality.

Depending on your needs, therapy may focus on:

  • Managing anxiety and stress more effectively

  • Understanding patterns that contribute to burnout or emotional exhaustion

  • Developing strategies for focus, emotional regulation, and follow-through

  • Processing difficult clinical experiences or transitions

  • Creating boundaries and a sense of self outside of work

  • Navigating relationships during training

Our goal is not to “fix” you, but to help you understand what’s happening, feel more supported, and move through training with greater steadiness.

Practical considerations

  • Format: In-person and telehealth options available

  • Scheduling: Clinicians familiar with variable and demanding schedules (early morning or late night slots available)

  • Confidentiality: Therapy is private and not connected to your training program

Kane Psychology is primarily an out-of-network practice and can provide superbills for potential reimbursement. For some clinicians and services, therapy may be accessible through Northwell Direct, depending on coverage.
