Psychological Services for Retired First Responders
I provide psychological services to first responders of all ranks at various stages of their careers, including those in retirement. In 2025, CalPERS added Blue Shield insurance to their mental health coverage. I applied and was accepted on the panel. Now I can offer the same quality psychosocial care to retired first responders as I offer to active-duty first responders.
Did you retire on your own terms?
If you had a retirement date in mind for weeks or months, you retired on your own terms. Did you have time to attend the retirement seminars or make plans with your family? Those were your terms.
If you thought you were going home at the end of your shift, but wound up at a hospital with a career ending injury, you didn’t retire on your terms. Did a social media post, a well paid lawyer or city budget cut end your career? Those were not your terms.
