Counseling
Individual and couples counseling for police, fire, EMS personnel, and their families
Being an emergency responder takes a huge mental toll, but it doesn’t have to cost you or your family everything. Code-4 Counseling clinicians help you and your loved ones work through general life stressors (relationship and communication issues, blended family related struggles, reliance on negative coping skills, sleep disturbances, anger management, etc.) or specific job-related issues (critical incident recovery, job burnout, retirement planning, etc,). Our practice is committed to making therapy a positive experience. You’ll leave the Code-4 Counseling office feeling hopeful, with positive coping strategies and renewed energy for your work.
Training & Consulting
Training and consulting for agencies
Wellness training and consulting work is a favorite area of focus for Dr. Sara Metz. Code-4 Counseling routinely provides stress management, critical incident recovery, and resiliency trainings, supervises peer support teams for police, fire, and healthcare agencies, and works with agencies to develop peer support teams and wellness programs so they can champion their people. Sara routinely shares stories and lessons learned from her work in order to help build a truly successful mental wellness program that meets the unique needs of your organization.
Agency Wellness Program Assessment
A robust wellness program serves to improve the health and productivity of employees. It can also help to lower health care costs, reduce absenteeism, reduce workers’ compensation and disability-related costs, reduce injuries, and improve overall morale and loyalty within the agency.
Code-4 Counseling will evaluate your current wellness programming in the following categories:
- Current wellness programs, services, and policies that are available.
- Employee needs and preferences regarding wellness options.
- Leadership involvement in wellness program
The agency will be provided feedback on current programming as well as recommendations for improved offerings to ensure available resources are being put to best use.
