Oh yes, you have a lot of options. Career counseling is a specialty with a lot of need for it. You will find a lot of career counselors at schools and universities. Another thing you might look into is corporate counseling. It ought to be less triggering, but if you are a workaholic, I see the potential to get so involved in it that you work too many hours. In corporate counseling you would help corporations or businesses, and evaluate how their structure is working and what they could do to increase productivity, etc. If you went into law, maybe you could specialize in representing mental health professionals, since you are familiar with relevant legal requirements. That could be strenuous too, though. One lady in my class was becoming a counselor because she was burned out from practicing family law (divorces, child custody, etc.). She wanted to be able to help the clients more than she was able to as a lawyer.
Anyway, there are a lot of possibilities you can explore.
