CHRONIC ILLNESS COUNSELING WITH CARL KING
"Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do." —John Wooden
As a therapist, I understand the grief, loneliness, fear, fatigue, and guilt that one may feel when living with a chronic illness. Yet, I have found that people often lose sight of their tremendous strengths and the growth they gain as a result of their experience. I aim to help people see that light in them. Whether newly diagnosed or living with a chronic illness, one’s life is likely to be disrupted. In addition to the physical aspect of the condition, the emotional problems and stress of managing the condition often cause just as much pain. The support and coping skills gained through counseling can make a substantial difference in longevity and long-term quality of life. As a specialist in the psychological aspects of living with medical illness, I have worked with people with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, Parkinson’s, Crohn’s disease, lupus, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, chronic kidney disease, cancer, asthma, headaches, depression, high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, and osteoarthritis.
If you want to speak with someone about how your diagnosis affects you and uncover ways to cope with the emotional challenges of the disease, contact me for a free 30-minute consultation today.
