Therapy for Educators
Why Educators Often Don’t Make the Grade on Mental Health
Educators are among the most essential professionals in our society, and they are often among the most emotionally depleted. You’re often asked to do more with less – less prep time, fewer resources, and inadequate staffing or support. Your responsibilities can be excessive, with many educators working far beyond their contracted hours on lesson planning, grading, administrative tasks, and attending meetings. Disengaged or disruptive students, parental antagonism, and administrative micromanagement can all leave you feeling further exhausted, overextended, and increasingly disconnected from the work you once found meaningful.
And this collectively unfolds in a broader cultural context where educational work is devalued, undercompensated, and misunderstood.

Dr. Warach has worked with educators and administrators across K-12 and higher education. He understands that for many education professionals, work is not simply a job – it’s an identity, a calling, and a mission. His approach to therapy is collaborative, goal-focused, and grounded in compassion.
