Sponsored Psychotherapy Sessions

As part of the ACCMA Physician Wellness Program, physicians can meet with a therapist via Zoom for up to four sessions completely sponsored by ACCMA. Physicians and medical residents (ACCMA members and non-members) in Alameda and Contra Costa counties can take advantage of this ongoing program by directly contacting one of the mental health clinicians from our list of vetted mental health clinicians and indicating that you would like to participate in the ACCMA Sponsored Psychotherapy sessions. You can also contact the ACCMA at wellbeing@accma.org or (510) 654-5383, ext. 6307 for more information.

Being a physician means working in a unique, demanding, and ever-changing field. This therapy is designed to support physicians in managing their stress, identifying and minimizing burn-out, and getting support and feedback from peers (in group sessions), thus allowing for more meaningful connections in their lives, both in professional and personal relationships.
