Welcome to SafeHavenMD

At SafeHavenMD, we understand your weight—because we’ve been there ourselves. The pressures of modern medicine, the constant demands, and the expectations to always be at your best are overwhelming. We know what it’s like to face burnout, depression, substance abuse, and even suicidal thoughts and to wonder if there’s a way through. We’ve walked that path and found hope, healing, and resilience on the other side.

SafeHavenMD isn’t just a platform; it’s a community built by physicians for physicians. This is your safe space, where you can be vulnerable, share your story, and start healing without judgment or fear of professional consequences. We’re here to listen, support, and help you rediscover the passion and purpose that brought you to medicine in the first place.

You are not alone in this journey. Every story matters, and we believe in the strength of connecting with others who truly understand. Together, we can face these challenges head-on and come out stronger.

Let’s start this journey—because we believe in you.

What we do


At SafeHavenMD, we are physicians who have walked in your shoes. We serve as coaches, offering support and guidance as you navigate the complex emotions and challenges that come with burnout, depression, or substance abuse. We understand the weight of these burdens because we’ve experienced them firsthand. Our role is to listen with empathy, without judgment, and help you find the path forward.

We provide a confidential, stigma-free space where you can share your thoughts and concerns openly. Our goal is to empower you to take control of your well-being by connecting you with the right resources, whether peer support, counseling options, or other forms of care. Please think of us as your partners, here to help you coordinate the support you need in a way that’s personalized and respectful of your privacy.

What we do not do


While we’re here to support you, clarifying what we don’t provide is essential. SafeHavenMD does not offer psychiatric or medical care, and we do not prescribe medications. We also do not provide traditional psychotherapy or offer legal advice. We aim to listen and offer guidance as peers, not as treating clinicians. If you need more specialized help, we’ll coordinate care and connect you with the right professionals.

If you are experiencing an emergency such as a suicide plan, withdrawal, or overdose, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
