These are challenging times to be police. More than a profession policing is a complex lifestyle, far more complex than most people realize, and counseling can have a significant impact on how police officers and first responders deal with stress and trauma.

Antonia Posey is a therapist, specializing in counseling law enforcement, first responders, and their families. Prior to becoming a counselor, Antonia was a police officer working in every facet of the profession, spending most of her time on the street as a Patrol Officer and Accident Investigator. Her experience as police makes her able to understand the intense and difficult circumstances police officers face, and the impact those demands have on their personal health and well-being. Her goal is to reduce the fear and stigma of counseling for police officers, and offer behavioral treatments, group therapy, and one-on-one counseling, which is mindful of police work and its many demands.

Police officers and their families need counseling that recognizes the high-demand/low-control nature of police work, and the high stress levels that may negatively impact their physical and mental health. Antonia utilizes a variety of evidence-based techniques and methods to treat stress, anxiety, and PTSD, with a focus on increasing mindfulness and resilience, and improving personal relationships– to help each individual be the best they can be.
