Being a caregiver—whether for a loved one with a chronic illness, disability, or age-related condition—can be both rewarding and incredibly demanding. While you're focused on taking care of someone else, it’s easy to put your own emotional and physical needs on the back burner. Over time, this can lead to caregiver stress, burnout, anxiety, sadness, or feelings of guilt.

Caregiver therapy is one on one counseling with a Licensed Clinician to address mental health symptoms, process trauma, identify triggers, learn new coping skills, and help you decrease your symptoms to live a fulfilling life.

Therapy utilizes various evidence base approaches that may include, but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. Treatment sessions vary in frequency and duration depending on the matter being addressed. Your treatment plan is established by you and the clinician depending on your treatment goal. 

Common need for caregiver Therapy:

• Caregiver burnout 

• Worried about an adult child 

• You are a distant caregiver 

• Parent of a disabled adult child 

You don’t have to carry it all alone. Counseling with a Licensed Clinical Social Worker can offer you a space to focus on you—to process your emotions, find healthy ways to cope, and feel supported in the challenges you face. Whether you're balancing caregiving with work, family, or your own health, therapy can help you regain a sense of balance and emotional well-being.

Taking care of yourself is not a luxury—it's essential.
