Caregiving can be deeply meaningful, but it can also be emotionally and physically demanding. Many caregivers spend significant time and energy supporting others, whether caring for children, aging parents, partners, or family members with medical or mental health needs. Over time, these responsibilities can lead to stress, exhaustion, and feelings of overwhelm.
Therapy for caregivers at Bodhi Counseling provides a supportive space to process the challenges of caregiving while reconnecting with personal wellbeing. Our clinicians work with caregivers to explore ways to balance caring for others with caring for themselves.
