Alzheimers

Margaret Graham

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCPC, LPCC

My work with Alzheimer's caregivers focuses on developing sustainable strategies for the emotional and practical challenges that accompany caring for a loved one with dementia. Through personalized therapeutic approaches, we address key areas including anticipatory grief, caregiver burnout, guilt and resentment, and navigating shifting family dynamics. I help caregivers establish necessary boundaries while honoring their love and commitment, process the ongoing losses that occur throughout the disease progression, develop effective communication strategies for difficult conversations with family members about care decisions, and create realistic self-care practices that fit within demanding caregiving schedules. My approach acknowledges the profound devotion that drives caregiving while providing tools to manage the physical exhaustion, emotional depletion, and identity loss that often accompany this role.

Alzheimers

Margaret Graham

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC

When someone you love is diagnosed with Alzheimer's, the ground shifts beneath your feet. You're grieving someone who's still here while simultaneously trying to figure out care logistics, manage your own emotions, and keep showing up for a relationship that's changing in ways you never imagined. I work with individuals (not families as a unit) who are navigating this impossibly hard terrain – adult children watching a parent disappear bit by bit, spouses adjusting to a partner who no longer recognizes them, or anyone carrying the weight of Alzheimer's in their family system. We'll work on the grief that comes in waves, the guilt about feeling resentful or exhausted, the loneliness of this particular kind of loss, and the practical reality of making decisions for someone who can no longer make them. We'll also talk about what you need to sustain yourself through this marathon, not sprint, and how to honor both your love for this person and your own survival.
