A serious or terminal illness affects not only the person diagnosed but also their entire support system. Navigating the emotional, psychological, and relational challenges of such a journey can be incredibly difficult, and feelings of fear, sadness, uncertainty, and even anger are common. At Summit Therapy Services, we provide specialized palliative care support to help patients and their families cope with the emotional impact of illness.
For individuals facing a serious diagnosis, we offer a compassionate space to process emotions, manage stress, and find ways to maintain a sense of control and dignity. We help you explore your values, priorities, and what matters most during this time, empowering you to make informed decisions about your care and emotional well-being.
For caregivers and family members, the challenges of supporting a loved one through a serious illness can be emotionally exhausting. Many caregivers experience burnout, anxiety, and grief even before a loss occurs. Our therapy sessions provide a place to process these emotions, strengthen coping mechanisms, and ensure that you are also taking care of yourself.
End-of-life and palliative care discussions can be difficult, but they are essential in ensuring that both patients and families find comfort and support. Through therapy, we help facilitate conversations about fears, wishes, and legacy, fostering deeper connections and emotional peace for all involved.
