What Is Chronic Illness Counseling?
Chronic illness counseling addresses the emotional, psychological, and behavioral challenges associated with long-term medical conditions. Therapy provides a supportive space to process stress, grief, anxiety, depression, and uncertainty that often accompany chronic health concerns.
