Therapy for Physicians, Medical Professionals and Caregivers in California
You’re expected to have all the answers
But no one ever taught you where to put everything you carry.
Therapy for physicians, nurses, healthcare providers, medical students, and caregivers navigating the emotional intensity of patient care, chronic illness, and high-stakes responsibility.
You can handle high-stakes decisions.
You can lead, diagnose, stabilize, and respond in seconds.
But when it comes to holding everything you feel after…it doesn’t just disappear.
You deserve a place where you don't have to be "the strong one" or "the one who always knows what to do."
The emotional demands of your role don’t pause.
At a certain point, pushing through stops working.
1 in 4 physicians experience depression at some point in their career
60-65% of physicians report regular burnout that affect their work and home life
400 physicians die by suicide each year with females 2x more likely
I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m Lori Rabner, LCSW
With 25 years as a licensed clinical social worker in pediatric hematology-oncology, I have had the honor of walking beside families facing some of the most complex and life altering moments imaginable. In that work, I’ve also spent decades partnering with physicians, nurses, and multidisciplinary teams as they navigated crises, high-stakes decisions, and the emotional weight of caring for patients with chronic and life-threatening illnesses.
Over the years, something became clear, the people providing care also carry stories, emotions, and burdens that need a place to land.
My Approach
I offer a space where physicians and healthcare professionals can slow down, feel understood, and explore what’s happening beneath the surface.
Our time together focuses on helping you reconnect with your purpose, understand your internal responses, and create space to process the cumulative impact of your work whether you’re navigating critical surgeries, end-of-life conversations, ethical uncertainty, or the quiet grief of repeated exposure to suffering.
Offering a concierge mental health practice that makes therapy easy for the high demand positions of medical and caregiving roles.
Individual therapy for physicians, nurses, and healthcare providers
Support for medical students navigating training demands
Therapy for caregivers of children with chronic or critical illness
Beneath the roles, titles, and pressure to keep going, there is still a person deserving of care, attention, support, and space to breathe.
Therapy offers a place to come back to yourself.
Reconnect with the parts of you that exist outside of what you provide for everyone else so you can keep showing up with compassion, without losing yourself in the process.
As a concierge-style mental health practice, every effort is made to reduce additional stress and make accessing support feel as seamless as possible.
That includes helping simplify the insurance reimbursement process through superbills and out-of-network support so therapy feels more accessible, manageable, and supported from the very beginning.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
All therapy sessions are held virtually for adults located in California, allowing for flexible, confidential support from the comfort and privacy of home, an office, or another secure location. Virtual therapy makes it easier to access consistent care without adding another commute or obligation to an already demanding schedule.
The next step is scheduling a consultation to discuss what support is needed, answer any questions, and determine whether therapy feels like the right fit.
-
Individual therapy sessions are $250 for a 50-minute session.
Like most specialty providers, I do not participate in any insurance plans. Paying out-of-pocket is a great option for people who want maximum privacy, confidentiality, and flexibility.
-
Yes of course! If you have out-of-network insurance benefits, you are welcome to use them.
I am happy to submit claims on your behalf (via a company called Thrizer) or provide you with a monthly superbill, so you can coordinate with your insurance company directly.
-
If you have out-of-network benefits, your insurance company will typically reimburse you for 60-80% of the cost of each session after you’ve met your deductible.
Use this calculatorto get an instant estimate of your OON coverage, including your deductible and amount remaining on deductible, as well as an estimated reimbursement amount post-deductible.
I’d also be happy to check your benefits for you! Just make sure to have your insurance card handy, with your Member ID, during our free intro call.
Or if you prefer, you can confirm the benefits of your health insurance plan with your insurance provider directly. However, I highly recommend using Thrizer’s free benefits calculator to save you time and energy!

Your out-of-network benefits are usually pretty straightforward to use. We have two options:
I partner with a company, Thrizer, who can submit claims to your insurance company on your behalf for a small fee. After you meet your deductible, you can decide whether or not you want to pay for our sessions in full. You have the option to either pay in full and wait for reimbursement or simply pay your co-insurance. Thrizer can cover the rest of our session cost for you while they wait for reimbursement from your insurance company.
Or if you prefer to deal with your insurance company yourself, I will provide you with a monthly superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. You will be responsible for paying for each session in full at time of appointment.
We can discuss these options in more detail on an intro call and see what works best for you!
