Sandwich Generation Individual & Group Therapy
Specialized individual care for the sandwich generation focuses on addressing the unique emotional and logistical challenges faced by those simultaneously caring for aging parents or elders and supporting their own children. Stress, burnout, and identity struggles often arise from balancing multiple caregiving roles. This can be particularly difficult when there are unresolved issues in parental or familial relationships.
Therapy sessions provide a safe space to explore feelings of guilt, overwhelm, and isolation while developing practical coping strategies and self-care routines. By tailoring treatment to the distinct pressures of the sandwich generation, individuals can strengthen resilience, improve communication skills, and cultivate a sustainable balance between caregiving responsibilities and personal well-being.
