Compassionate support for caregivers who give so much.

You give so much to others — let us help you care for yourself.

Caring for a loved one can be deeply meaningful, but it can also be emotionally and physically exhausting. Whether you’re supporting an aging parent, a partner with a chronic illness, or a child with special needs, caregiving often brings stress, guilt, burnout, and isolation. At The Summit Counseling Center, we offer support for caregivers so you don’t have to carry the weight alone.

Is Caregiving Taking a Toll on Your Well-Being?

You may benefit from caregiver stress counseling if you:

  • Feel emotionally drained or physically exhausted
  • Experience guilt, resentment, or anxiety about your caregiving role
  • Struggle to balance caregiving with your personal life or career
  • Have difficulty setting boundaries or asking for help
  • Feel isolated or like no one understands what you’re going through
  • Experience sleep issues, irritability, or loss of interest in things you enjoy
  • Need a space to talk, decompress, and receive support without judgment

Our Approach

Our therapists provide a safe and compassionate environment where you can process your feelings, reconnect with your needs, and learn strategies to care for yourself. We help caregivers reduce overwhelm, set healthy boundaries, and build sustainable routines for support and self-care.

You don’t have to choose between supporting your loved ones and supporting yourself — both are possible.

You Deserve Support, Too

Caring for others begins with caring for yourself. With the right support, you can feel more balanced, connected, and empowered in your caregiving journey.
