In this installment of our masterclass series for mental health clinicians and savvy first responders, we examine the fine points of working with firefighters. Our guest, Robbie Adler-Tapia, Ph.D., licensed Psychologist and EMDRIA Approved Consultant/Certified Therapist, will guide us through the unique challenges and stresses that firefighters face in their line of work. We will explore cultural competence and key strategies therapists can use to address trauma and stress experienced by fire service personnel effectively. Tune in for an insightful discussion on supporting this unique profession and culture.
Dr. Adler-Tapia began her career as a firefighter and EMT, authored “One Badge-One Brain-One Life: Preventative Maintenance and Brain Health Training for Emergency Responders” and her workshop “Haunted” educates therapists on supporting emergency responders.
Currently, Dr. Adler-Tapia serves as an Employee Assistance Provider for law enforcement, firefighters, and emergency responders, and is the Founder/Clinical Director of FiRSST. As an EMDR therapy Trainer, trained by Dr. Francine Shapiro, she has delivered training since 2005 and has spoken at numerous conferences, including EMDRIA, ISST-D, ERAP, and the National Fallen Firefighters’ Foundation.
