How to find a counselor for myself, caregiver of spouse with cancer?
Hi everyone, how can I find a counselor for myself as a spouse of my husband with cancer. I am not looking for a support group, I need one on one counseling.
Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Caregivers Support Group.
Where is he receiving care? They should have a counselor who can help you there.
He is recovering care ar mass general hospital in Massachusetts
They should have some counseling available there. It may be social worker staff or some other caregiver advisory staff.
@lmhgator80, Like @royce, I also recommend asking for a consult with an oncology social worker where your husband receives care. They support caregivers as well as patients. They may provide the one-on-one counseling you are looking for or can give you information about services and resources:

Hi @ejbauer, how is your loved one doing? What is he recovering from? How are you doing?
