Therapy for Caregivers in Mississauga
Understanding the Caregiver Experience
Caring for a loved one is meaningful, but it can also be exhausting. Whether you’re supporting an aging parent, a partner with health challenges, or a child with complex needs, the role of caregiver often comes with stress, worry, and emotional strain.
In Mississauga, with its growing population of seniors, busy families, and diverse community needs, many people find themselves balancing caregiving responsibilities alongside careers and personal life. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed or alone, but support is available.

Therapy gives caregivers a supportive, confidential space to process their experiences and build coping strategies.
