Restore Balance While Caring for Someone You Love
Caring for a loved one is one of the most selfless things you can do—but it can also be one of the most emotionally and physically exhausting. Whether you're supporting an aging parent, a spouse with chronic illness, or a loved one with dementia or disability, it’s easy to lose sight of your own well-being and identity in the process.
At Thrive Counseling and Wellness, we provide therapy for caregivers of all kinds—to help you cope, restore balance, and remember that your needs matter, too.
Caregiving Is a Lot to Carry
You might be feeling a whirlwind of emotions. Common effects of caregiving include:
Overwhelmed by daily tasks and responsibilities
Isolated and emotionally drained
Guilty for needing space or rest
Burned out, anxious, or feeling on edge
Resentful and irritable, and then ashamed of feeling that way
Grieving the changes in your relationship with your loved one
Unsure how much longer you can keep going like this
We understand. And we’re here to help you find relief, strength, and emotional support so that you can continue moving forward.
How Therapy Can Help Caregivers
Caregiver support therapy gives you a confidential, nonjudgmental space to talk, vent, and feel fully seen as an individual, not just caregiver. You deserve that and need that.
Through therapy, our clinicians can help you:
Set healthy boundaries and manage guilt
Navigate family conflict and decision-making challenges
Reduce anxiety, depression, and burnout
Reconnect with your identity outside of your caregiving role
Cope with anticipatory grief and ambiguous and secondary losses
Build sustainable self-care practices
You’re giving so much to others. It’s okay to receive support for yourself.
Specialized Support for Dementia Caregivers
Caring for someone with dementia brings unique emotional challenges—grief, confusion, and a sense of ongoing loss. Our therapists have experience and training to help:
Process the evolving relationship with their loved one
Manage caregiver stress and emotional exhaustion
Access resources and coping strategies
Create sustainable plans to address care needs
Feel less alone in a confusing and often isolating journey
