Dementia Caregiver Counseling

Finding yourself in the role of a caregiver for a loved with Dementia/Alzheimers can be a very difficult transition. There are many challenges that arise as you move from a state of independence to inter-dependence. You may find yourself spending most of your time thinking about your loved one’s needs and coordinating their care, while your own needs, health, and relationships get pushed to the side. Finding balance seems like an elusive goal and the caregiving demands can quickly leave you feeling stretched thin and burned out.

If you find yourself overwhelmed by the task of caring for your loved one while keeping your own head above water, I’d love to support you. Whether it’s figuring out how to prepare for the next step, where to find resources, how to cope with the stress of caregiving, how to navigate challenging behaviors and improve communication with your loved one, how to process the grief of this particular kind of loss, or any one of the countless concerns that come up in this process, we can create a space to take care of you while you care for your loved one.
