Larkmoor Counseling Call

Counseling for caregivers in Gainesville

For adults caring for a parent, partner or child, who spend the week looking after someone and rarely get an hour for themselves.

What caregivers bring

A pill organizer, thermometer and glass of water on a table

Tiredness that sleep does not fix. Guilt about feeling resentful. Grief for someone who is still alive but changing. Arguments with siblings about who does what. Many caregivers who call me have not said these things out loud before.

Fitting sessions into the week

Video sessions help when you cannot leave the house for long. Evening times run until 7 pm, Monday to Thursday. If a hospital stay or a crisis at home cancels a session, there is no late fee.

Questions about counseling for caregivers

Do you work with families?

I see adults one at a time. With your permission, a family member can join one session to talk about sharing the load. For ongoing family counseling, I can suggest other therapists.
