Jill Peeler

I own and operate a private practice in Novato and serve first responders, military and their families in the State of California. Drawing upon my extensive experience, I delve deep into the unique challenges faced by first responders and public safety employees. I identify the stark differences between these individuals and those outside of the profession, underscoring the high-stress environments, trauma exposure, irregular shift patterns and risk of injury or death inherent in their roles. I also acknowledge the pressure to perform, the cultural nuances within these organizations and the limited access to mental health resources often experienced by first responders. In addition to providing individual and group psychotherapy utilizing evidence-based modalities like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), I offer tailored interventions to address stress management, trauma recovery and relationship maintenance. I emphasize the importance of self-care and provide strategies for Moreover, I educate my clients on recognizing the signs of Post-Traumatic Stress, empowering them to identify intrusive thoughts, emotional detachment, relationship challenges and other symptoms commonly associated with trauma exposure. By fostering a supportive and understanding environment, I strive to promote resilience, coping skills and overall well-being among the first responder community and their families. Throughout my career, I have actively sought opportunities to support first responders and public safety personnel. I volunteer as a therapist at the First Responder Support Network/West Coast Trauma Retreat. I am passionate about providing evidence-based therapy modalities tailored to the unique needs of law enforcement professionals, with a focus on promoting resilience, coping skills and overall well-being.
