Thank you for taking the time to share your journey with me. Where would I look for a therapist to speak with?

Greetings:
When I realized I should probably get professional help and see a therapist, I received advice at one of my support groups to find a therapist that has experience working with caregivers specifically. So I went to our Healthcare system website, then went to the Behavioral Health page, and read the Bio for every therapist. We live in a rural community, so I was pleasantly surprised that one provider did list caregivers as a specialty. And, since we are a small town and there is only one of these specialists, I am waiting several months for an appointment.
Meanwhile, I am my own therapist and seek support from groups and friends/family.
All the best to you on this oh-so-challenging journey. 🫂 🌻
