A podcast designed for firefighters to learn emotional awareness, engagement, expression, and regulation which have been empirically proven to build resilience to the impact of critical incidents. Engagingly presented by Dr. Lea Sullivan, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Fire Chaplain who is culturally competent in fire service and well versed in the mental health strengths and struggles of firefighters.
Lea Sullivan is a Washington State Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Approved Supervisor, National Board Certified Counselor (NCC), and Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist (EFT), specializing in couples and individual therapy. She is currently a doctoral candidate in the final stages of dissertation for a Ph.D. in Psychology & Counseling with a concentration in Trauma & Crisis Counseling.
Lea is a former volunteer Fire Chaplain and popular speaker and presenter on the cultural competency of fire service. In addition to her private practice for first responders, she works inside a firehouse developing the first attachment-based mental health program for firefighters. Wearing many hats, Lea's favorite by far is helping firefighters develop and maintain securely attached relationships to help build resilience and mitigate the impact of critical incident stress.
