Athena Peterson is a compassionate counselor and clinical case manager dedicated to supporting individuals and families through the profound challenges of caregiving and navigating life's transitions, especially during end-of-life considerations. She raises essential questions about coping with the stress associated with loved ones who can no longer care for themselves, exploring treatment options, and understanding how to align care plans with the desires and beliefs of caregivers and their loved ones. Her practice emphasizes resources for managing dementia and Alzheimer's, providing individual and family counseling, as well as referrals for financial, healthcare, and system navigation. Athena believes that discussing the complexities of life and death should foster acceptance rather than fear. Her expertise lies in life planning, encouraging a shift in attitudes toward death and dying, fostering peace in these discussions. With a focus on helping clients navigate these sensitive topics, Athena empowers them to explore how they wish to be cared for and what truly matters to them, guiding them towards a more peaceful perspective on life’s journeys.
