Get the support you need to thrive as a caregiver
Therapy for Caregivers acknowledges and understands the everyday challenges of being a caregiver whether it be a familial caregiver or professional caregiver. That’s why we believe in providing education around what caregiving is and why it looks different for every caregiver.
Here are some real life caregiving situations I’ve seen first hand.
A young adult caring for a middle aged mother, who has recently had a stroke and is requiring full time care.
A spouse caring for their partner with a new onset of dementia or end stage disease.
A nurse, physician, or social worker who is experiencing compassion fatigue - extreme tiredness or desperation.
A married couple with teenage children now finding themselves as the primary caregivers for their elderly parents with declining health.
Professional medical staff who experience physical health issues due to work stress/trauma.
As a mental wellness therapist, I assist clients by providing therapy, education, resources, and more. We help our clients connect with their current reality and reimagine caregiving as a gift of service because ultimately you “get to choose” to care for your loved ones or your patients.
An experienced caregiver
It’s essential for you as a caregiver to feel heard, seen, and understood. That’s why I want to share with you a small part of my role as family and professional caregiver.
I come from a long line of generational caregivers. My grandmother cared for her mother and father. My mother cared for her mother (my granny) too and because my mother cared so did I. Many times we don’t recognize the generational and cultural unspoken expectations that can be thrusted upon us over time. That’s a whole other conversation.
This is what I want you to know. Dementia has affected every generation of my immediate and extended family. And that’s where my personal caregiver of my story started. My professional caregiver story started at the age 12 volunteering in the VA Hospital, interning in assisted living facilities, previously working with patients in dialysis, community health, and currently working with patients in heart failure and transplant.
I’ve felt the physical, emotional, relational, spiritual, and financial burden of caregiving and I’ve also experienced the appreciation, growth, and peace of continuously choosing to care. This is why I’ve made it my mission and purpose in life to help caregivers live a fulfilled life.
Yes, caregiving is honorable and simultaneously DAMN hard.
And yet, this quote still rings true “Caregiving often calls us to lean into love we didn’t know possible.” ~Tia Walker
