Chronic Illness, Medical Complexity & Caregiving
Compassionate therapy for navigating health challenges—yours or a loved one’s
Living with a chronic illness or disability—or caring for someone who does—can be overwhelming, isolating, and exhausting. The constant demands of managing medical needs, balancing responsibilities, and coping with uncertainty often take a toll on mental health. You may feel anxious, burned out, or weighed down by grief for the life you imagined.
Therapy offers a space where you don’t have to carry those burdens alone. Together, we can focus on coping strategies, emotional resilience, and reconnecting with the parts of life that bring meaning and joy, even in the midst of challenges.
Chronic Illness and New Diagnoses
When you are living with an ongoing health concern or chronic illness, have a major health event or receive a new diagnosis, it’s common to feel frustrated, fearful, or disconnected from your identity outside of your diagnosis. Therapy can help you:
Manage anxiety, depression, or stress related to your condition
Process feelings of grief, loss, or changes in independence
Develop coping tools for pain, fatigue, or uncertainty
Strengthen communication with healthcare providers and loved ones
Reconnect with values and activities that matter to you
Caregiving for Individuals with Medical Complexity and Disability
Caring for a loved one with complex medical needs can be both deeply meaningful and incredibly difficult. It’s natural to feel overwhelmed, guilty, or alone at times. In therapy, we’ll work on:
Coping with caregiver stress and burnout
Managing anxiety, sadness, or resentment without judgment
Building resilience and self-care practices
Navigating family dynamics and difficult decisions
Finding support in your role while staying connected to your own needs and goals
