Caregiver Counseling Spokane
Even those who give care to others need care for themselves.
A Caregiver Support Line
Being a caregiver is a generous, brave, and loving thing to do for someone, but it’s also an extremely taxing job to have. It’s important to have support for yourself and those resources available to you, especially if the help and care you’re providing begin to cause continuous stress and begin to affect your mental health.
Caregiver support is important too.
If you’re providing care to a loved one in Spokane, whether it’s through a health crisis or aging in place, we encourage you to read about our Spokane caregiver support and the resources available to you.

Our Counseling for Caregivers Philosophy
Seeking help is having strength, not possessing weakness
Caregivers are each on their path, and it can feel difficult to continue moving forward when finding yourself in unexpected circumstances. Long-term home care services and providing care to seniors can be lonely and scary at times. We at Villageplan understand those feelings of hopelessness and fear can come up suddenly when dealing with tough situations in the present and thinking about an unknown future.
If you’re starting to feel emotionally and physically drained by providing support to your or a patient’s family, beginning to feel lost and afraid of what the future has in store, or are becoming overwhelmed by information and life decisions, there is no shame in seeking out Spokane caregiver support to keep you in good mental health.
Your health, emotional and physical, matter too.

In-Home Care Services
Providing care services is a time-consuming job that can easily cut into time for other areas of life and responsibilities, it can also make it difficult to visit a counselor or therapist’s office.

We are happy and able to provide support in your home in Spokane and make sure you have the help you need available.

Virtual Support for WA Care Professionals
Being a caregiver can make it difficult to access care for yourself, whether because of your position as a caregiver or if there are no local services in Spokane for you. We at Villageplan believe everyone who needs support should have access to quality resources.
Virtual Counseling is a convenient and confidential way to meet with a licensed counselor without leaving your loved one at home or neglecting care responsibilities. All you would need for your appointment is a smartphone or computer with both internet access and video capabilities. While some may prefer in-person visits, many clients have reported how intimate counseling in their own homes can be.
Your Privacy Matters
We recognize the need for privacy and security. Our counselors use a HIPAA-compliant system to ensure your account information is protected.
