Mental health support built for the realities of journalism

Connecting media professionals with therapists who actually understand the work.


The JTSN difference

Why trust a JTSN-trained therapist?

Standard therapy often misses the mark for media professionals. Our network is different:

  • They know the culture: Vetted professionals specifically trained to understand the unique demands, deadlines, and pressures of journalism.

  • Trauma-informed expertise: Specialized clinical approaches designed to treat secondary trauma, burnout, and PTSD.

  • Secure & confidential: Therapists equipped with advanced digital security protocols to protect your privacy and your sources.

Bridging the gap between journalism & mental health

Journalists serve society on the frontlines, routinely absorbing the trauma of the stories they cover. Too often, this occupational stress goes unnoticed and untreated, leaving reporters to feel that standard "therapists just don't get journalism."

JTSN is here to change that. By equipping mental health professionals with the clinical tools and industry context to treat media-specific trauma, we ensure journalists finally have access to secure, reliable support.

JTSN has been building a critical community of trauma-trained therapists since 2021. Read more about our mission and impact here, or uncover the full findings, data, and the evolution of this field in our 2025 White Paper.
