Therapy for Caregiver Stress & Burnout
Online therapy with Malka Pill, LCSW — available throughout New York State.
Caring for an aging parent or an ill spouse is one of the loneliest jobs there is. You're managing appointments, medications, siblings, and your own household — and being told how strong you are while quietly running out of room.
You are allowed to be both devoted and depleted.
You might recognize some of this
- Constant low-grade exhaustion
- Guilt whenever you rest or say no
- Resentment you'd never say out loud
- Tension with siblings or family over who does what
- Losing track of your own health, friendships, and plans
How we'd work on it together
We start by taking the pressure off your own judgment of yourself. Resentment and love live together in caregiving; that's not a character flaw.
Then we get practical: boundaries you can actually hold, how to ask family for specific help, and small recoveries that fit into a day you don't control.
We also make space for anticipatory grief — mourning someone who is still here — which almost no one talks about and nearly every caregiver feels.
Ready when you are
The first step is a free 15-minute call. No forms, no pressure — just a conversation.
