For Caregivers & Parents

Care for those who
hold everyone else together.

Confidential psychological care for family caregivers — those caring for aging parents, spouses, children with complex needs, or loved ones facing chronic illness or disability. The weight you carry is real. So is the need for care of your own.

Who This Page Is For

Two experiences, both real.

The weight of caring for someone else takes different forms. We hold space for both.

Caregivers

Caring for an adult

You're caring for an aging parent, a spouse, or a loved one facing chronic illness, disability, or decline. The person you're tending may be someone who once cared for you. The weight is real, and so is the grief of watching them change.

Parents & Guardians

Raising a child with complex needs

You're raising a child with special needs, complex medical needs, or a disability. The weight is different: it's lifelong, it reshapes your whole family, and it asks everything of you while the world watches and sometimes judges.

An Important Distinction

Burnout vs. Anticipatory Grief: it matters clinically.

Burnout

Depletion of resources

Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged stress. It's about running out of what you have to give. Rest, support, and practical help can help.

Anticipatory Grief

Mourning a loss that hasn't fully arrived

Anticipatory grief is the mourning of a person who is still here — but changed. It is common in dementia, stroke, and degenerative illness caregiving. The person you knew is gone in ways, yet still present. It is not exhaustion. It is grief. Different construct. Different treatment.

Signs It Might Be Time

You recognize this.

Grief for the relationship you used to have with the person you're caring for
Resentment that surprises you, and guilt following close behind
Your own health declining while you manage someone else's
Feeling invisible, no one asks how you're doing
Isolation from friends and the life you used to have
Difficulty sleeping even when you have the chance
Anger that feels disproportionate, and hard to set down
The sense that you've lost yourself in the care of someone else
On Confidentiality

Your care is private. Period.

We do not share your information with family members, care recipients, or anyone else, unless you are in immediate danger to yourself or others, as required by law. What you bring here stays here.

Caregivers are often so accustomed to attending to everyone else that asking for help feels foreign. We understand that. Care designed for you, by psychologists who understand the weight of caregiving, makes it easier to begin.
