Dealing with a Spouse with a “Mild Cognitive Impairment”

@murkywaters if looking for a therapist for yourself, I’d recommend one who is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). Maybe one who has worked in a hospital. When I was looking, i asked multiple people for recommendations. I had been a nurse in the hospital so I knew how excellent the social workers were. The woman I ended up with is very good, friendly, and helpful. She usually doesn’t have earth-shattering advice, but just talking to her is a great help.
Finding a good therapist is well worth the effort! I wish you the best.

@becsbuddy I have been looking for a uniquely qualified therapist for both me and my wife also. I say that because I wanted a therapist that specializes in AD. Needless to say, that has been an extremely difficult task. Numerous medical people have suggested I look on the Psychology Today website. I finally found one that I will be having an initial consultation with to see if she is what I am looking for.
Unless someone can convince me otherwise, I don't think a regular therapist would be qualified to truly help deal with AD unless you just need to talk with someone.
