Valerie Thompson, LPC, understands the unique challenges caregivers face in their daily lives. Many individuals find themselves on call 24/7, constantly needed by others, which can lead to feelings of exhaustion despite the fulfillment caregiving brings. Valerie's approach centers on helping her clients, especially those who dedicate themselves to supporting family, friends, and others, to identify and honor their own needs. In her sessions, she fosters a space for individuals to explore their particular barriers, equipped with techniques from mindfulness-based therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and person-centered frameworks. Valerie encourages clients to acknowledge that they cannot pour from an empty cup; true giving stems from a balanced life. With a focus on relationship issues, life transitions, and self-esteem, she empowers caregivers to take the necessary steps towards personal care and nurturing. It's time to help individuals find the balance they require to enhance their own lives while continuing to support others. Together, they will embark on a transformative journey towards a more fulfilling and sustainable caregiving role.
