new caregiver, spouse of patient with recent ALS diagnosis, who can make referral to a good therapist that my wife can speak to as she, as expected, is struggling with her diagnosis but needs someone other than me to talk about it, thanks in advance

@davidbob1023 Hello, David, I’m sorry to learn that your wife has ALS. You said that she would like someone to talk with—I think her best bet is to contact the ALS association which can probably connect her with someone local. https://als.org. There is so much information that you can both read.
I would also suggest that you both stay as active as you can. If you have children, get them involved also. Mayo Clinic Connect can help you in many ways . There may be more discussions. I will find them and add them here. Also, welcome to MayoClinicConnect. You will find great support here.
